1.01

Since v0.1.0. No game data is included. You need your own Xbox disc. To update an install you already imported, replace the program (and, on Linux, lib/) and leave data/ where it is.

Fixes

• SCREEN ADJUST's filter was not kept. Changing it and closing the game came back as SMOOTH. It is written to the system save as soon as you change it.
• The picture size on that same page was dropped the same way, and is written with the filter.
• Window mode, resolution, and aspect ratio are written when those rows change, so they stay after you quit.
• Saves are text now: data/save/system.ini, directions.ini, replay01.ini to replay10.ini, plus config/display.ini and config/keyboard.ini. An older .sav or .txt is read once and kept next to the new file as .bak. A damaged text file is left as it is.

Also in this version

• SCREEN ADJUST's FILTER row: OFF (sharp pixels), SMOOTH, CRT CURVED, and CRT FLAT. Left steps back and right steps on. DEFAULT SETTING returns SMOOTH, in a 1280×960 window at 4:3.

Windows (64-bit Windows 10 or 11)

1. Download sf33rdsxb-windows-x86_64.zip and unzip the whole folder somewhere you can write to, such as Documents or the Desktop. Not Program Files: the game keeps its data and saves next to the exe.
2. Run sf33rdsxb.exe. The program is not signed, so Windows may say "Windows protected your PC": click More info, then Run anyway.
3. The first time, pick your Xbox disc in the window that opens.

It needs a graphics driver with Vulkan or OpenGL 3.3. The DLLs it uses are in the folder.

Linux (glibc 2.39 or newer: Ubuntu 24.04, Debian 13, Fedora 40 or later)

1. Install OpenAL, libarchive and the Vulkan loader:
   • Ubuntu/Debian: sudo apt install libopenal1 libarchive13t64 libvulkan1
   • Fedora: sudo dnf install openal-soft libarchive vulkan-loader
   • Arch: sudo pacman -S openal libarchive vulkan-icd-loader
2. Unpack sf33rdsxb-linux-x86_64.tar.gz and run ./sf33rdsxb. SDL3 is included.

v0.1.0

The first release of the native x86-64 port of Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike, built from the Xbox version's decompiled game code (3s-decomp-ogxb, xbox-port-data at b52c63f). Everything the Xbox provided is native: SDL3, Vulkan (or OpenGL 3.3), OpenAL.

No game data is included. You need your own Xbox disc: an image, a zip or 7z of it, or the extracted folder. The first time the game starts, it asks for the disc and imports it into data/ next to the program (about 1.3 GB, sound effects included). A PlayStation 2 disc does not work.

Windows (64-bit Windows 10 or 11)

1. Download sf33rdsxb-windows-x86_64.zip and unzip the whole folder somewhere you can write to, such as Documents or the Desktop. Not Program Files: the game keeps its data and saves next to the exe.
2. Run sf33rdsxb.exe. The program is not signed, so Windows may say "Windows protected your PC": click More info, then Run anyway.
3. Pick your Xbox disc in the window that opens: click it, press F for a folder, or drop the file on it.

It needs a graphics driver with Vulkan or OpenGL 3.3. The DLLs it uses are in the folder.

Linux (glibc 2.39 or newer: Ubuntu 24.04, Debian 13, Fedora 40 or later)

1. Install OpenAL, libarchive and the Vulkan loader:
   • Ubuntu/Debian: sudo apt install libopenal1 libarchive13t64 libvulkan1
   • Fedora: sudo dnf install openal-soft libarchive vulkan-loader

2. Unpack sf33rdsxb-linux-x86_64.tar.gz and run ./sf33rdsxb. SDL3 is included.

What works

• the whole offline game: Arcade, Versus, Training, the attract demos and the menus
• music, sound effects and voices, from the game's own banks
• saves, and replays in ten slots
• keyboard (rebindable: OPTION → BUTTON CONFIG, then F1) and gamepads (join with Start)
• windowed, borderless or fullscreen, the resolution and the aspect ratio (4:3, 16:9 or full), in OPTION → SCREEN ADJUST
• EXIT GAME in the mode menu

Not yet: online play. Xbox Live is greyed out in the mode menu.

Default keys: arrows for the d-pad, Z X for A B, A S for X Y, Q White, E Black, W R for L R, Enter Start, Backspace Back.
