Tekken 3 Expanded 1.3.0. Coming from 1.2.x: copy the new files over your install and click Update & play: the TTT characters are brought up to date (four update steps, no new import), the arcade stages are converted from your tekken3.zip, and the TTT endings are rebuilt for the new cinematics engine. Coming from 1.1.x: see Update from 1.1.x.

Downloads

Take the ZIP of your system, one entry point each:

  • Tekken3Expanded-1.3.0-Windows.zip: Setup Tekken 3.cmd (Steam Deck with Proton: this one).
  • Tekken3Expanded-1.3.0-macOS.zip: Setup Tekken 3.command.
  • Tekken3Expanded-1.3.0-Linux.zip (experimental): Setup Tekken 3.sh (Steam Deck with Distrobox: this one).
  • Tekken3Expanded-1.3.0-Android.zip: Android APK, built on Windows or macOS. Entry point: Build Android APK.

Updating from 1.2.x: take the ZIP of your system too; the PC ZIPs no longer carry the Android build (a git clone has everything).

Added

  • Arcade Stages: the 13 stages of Tekken 3 arcade (System 12) in place of the PS1 ones, with their animations, as a new mod on by default (Visual Enhancements). It needs tekken3.zip given to the setup; without it, or with the mod off, the game is unchanged. Both renderers, OpenGL and software. Yoshimitsu Forest HD is removed, the arcade stages replace it.
  • Jin's Omen on his TTT moveset: Force (b+1+2) then 2, 2, 3 puts him in Heihachi's stance with the Devil mark on his forehead, for the Omen moves, stronger against Kazuya and Jun, deflected when Jin, Heihachi or Devil guard them. No tag partner needed.
  • Tekken Force bosses per TTT character: each guest has their own four-stage run (Kazuya meets Lee, Jun meets Kazuya, the Jacks meet each other…), with TTT characters as bosses.
  • Every accessory swings as in the arcade: tails, hair, skirts and coat tails of all TTT characters, from the arcade's own spring tables. (#76)
  • TTT Cinematics on a new engine: the endings are played by a cinematics engine of their own (.cine files) instead of being grafted onto Ogre's cutscene. Michelle's, Kunimitsu's and Baek's Tekken Tag Tournament endings join Kazuya's and Armor King's (five endings in all). Hands open and close as on the PS2.
  • Linux (experimental): a native setup, Setup Tekken 3.sh, checked on Ubuntu, Arch and Fedora; Steam Deck through Distrobox (untested).
  • US and Japan TTT arcade sets accepted: tektagtuc1 (US, TEG3/VER.C1), tektagtub (US, TEG3/VER.B) and tektagtjc1 (Japan) work like the World set, same import.
  • Mouse cursor setting in the launcher: hidden when idle (the new default), hidden in fullscreen, always hidden, or visible. (#50)
  • GitHub issue forms (bug, setup problem, feature request, question).
  • One release ZIP per platform (Windows, macOS, Linux, Android), each with only its own scripts.

Fixed

  • Setup on a PC where Python 3.15 is the newest: the setup now picks a supported Python (3.13 first) and pins Pillow / numpy for 3.10 to 3.15. (#104)
  • MOVESET card in Tekken Force: the player's TTT moveset holds through every stage and the boss. (#100)
  • Third costume: TTT characters take it on Triangle as well as Start, like the Tekken 3 cast; Unknown, Wang and Devil no longer offer a duplicate of their first costume. (#92, #90)
  • Tekken Ball: TTT movesets get the ball mode's dash boost, so their backdash matches Tekken 3's. (#94)
  • Team Battle, random teams: a native following a TTT character no longer loads that character's model or tables (Michelle's model, wrong fighter after a defeat); the first fight's arena follows a guest put first. (#89, #67)
  • Character select: switching to the Tag page redraws at once in 4:3, no blank cell, the "?" of a player who has not joined stays a "?". (#97, #59)
  • Jacks' "Tarzan" win pose (Cross during the replay) ends on its crash sound, on the TTT moveset too. (#65)
  • Prototype Jack's Megaton Punishment: the victim mashing 1+2 no longer escapes into another animation; the last hit lands as in TTT. (#85)
  • Tekken Ball with a TTT character: the fight's music, not the selector's theme. (#91)
  • VS screen: each TTT character has their own gradient colour behind the portrait instead of a white background. (#70)
  • KO cry echo heard for every TTT character (the echo was cut by the next cry on a multi-hit KO).
  • Yoshimitsu on the TTT moveset: the win pose sparks light on his sword. (#73)
  • Baek, Lee and Armor King fought with open hands: their fists close as in the arcade.
  • The Embu with the arcade stages: the floor had holes and trails.
  • Devil's and Angel's wings keep moving in the final KO replay.
  • Ganryu's side throws dealt no damage to a TTT victim.
  • A stray laser spark between the fighters at the first fight after the start. (#86)
  • Android: the status and navigation bars stayed on screen over the game; the game now opens in immersive full screen (a swipe from the edge brings them back for a moment).

Changed

  • Character skins inherited from the original recomp are now off by default; turn them on in the Mods manager (not maintained).
