File requirements
No game ROMs are supplied. Prepare legally obtained Sega Model 3 ROM sets as ZIP files and point the launcher to their folder. The emulator's GPL license does not license game data, artwork or Sega trademarks. Vulkan needs a 1.3 driver, or 1.2 with dynamic rendering and synchronization2; OpenGL 4.1 is the fallback.

What it recreates
Builds on the Supermodel Team's reverse-engineered Sega Model 3 emulator. It retains the upstream emulation core and reworks rendering and presentation; it is an emulator enhancement, not a remake of one game or an official Sega product.
What’s different
Adds a Vulkan backend, CRT post-processing, wider 3D field of view, a resident settings launcher, decoupled audio and gamepad hot-plug on SDL input backends. The interface supports Chinese and English.
What you can use today
Model 3-Vulkan is the renamed Supermodel-VK project. v0.9.8.3b provides Windows, Linux and macOS archives, restores sound effects lost in v0.9.8.3a and adds native DDS texture-pack support. It remains an emulator requiring your own ROM sets. Game compatibility and performance vary. The existing cover is a historical preview frame, not a newly verified screenshot of v0.9.8.3b. RemakeList has not installed or run this release. The macOS package is not notarized and may be blocked by Gatekeeper; follow the author’s installation instructions.
