Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike Port

About

3SXW is a hard fork of 3SX, a PC port of Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike built on a decompilation of the PlayStation 2 port, with fixes and improvements. It requires an official copy of 3rd Strike or Street Fighter Anniversary Collection for PlayStation 2. Windows is the primary and extensively tested target, while Linux and macOS builds are prepared but not yet validated on real hardware.

How it differs from the original

Keeps all saves, config and screenshots inside the game folder and fixes the save system. Adds an optional 16:9 bezel, optional scanlines, a standalone configuration app, JPEG screenshots on F12 and a runtime debug mode. Gill is available from the start on a fresh save.

Getting started

You provide your own legally obtained PlayStation 2 copy, and at startup the game validates its required resource file and can extract it from a compatible PlayStation 2 image if it is missing. F11 or Alt+Enter toggles fullscreen. On Windows, a build script configures, compiles and installs a portable application folder.

Known issues & limitations

• Linux and macOS runtime validation on real hardware is still pending.
• Only one game instance can run in the same operating-system session; a second launch displays an error and exits.

What you need to run it

Features

• Saving and loading progress and match replays works; virtual memory cards for both slots are created automatically when needed.
• The Windows configuration app can edit fullscreen, window size, aspect ratio, scaling, frame timing, bezel, scanlines, and other supported settings.
• Gill is available from the beginning on a fresh save.
• You can capture the current game screen as a JPEG with F12.

Controls

• Press F11 or Alt+Enter to switch between windowed and fullscreen modes.
• Press F12 to capture a screenshot.

Additional notes

Extra mode

To unlock Extra Options / Extra Mode, clear Arcade Mode with Gill and save the game.

Instances
