################# MAME UNENCRYPTED ROM #################
1 - Obtain the original MAME ROM set for the USA version of Street Fighter Alpha 3 (980904) (sfa3u.zip) and extract it to an empty folder.
2 - Download the decrypted version of SFA3 (980904) from https://cps2.avalaunch.net/ (sfa3udi.zip) and copy the ROMs contained over the original ROM files.
3 - Delete the files "sz3ud.03c" and "sz3ud.04c" and then rename "sz3udi.03c" to "sz3ud.03c" and rename "sz3udi.04c" to "sz3ud.04c"
4 - Apply the SFA3CE IPS patches from the "graphics" and "unencrypted" folders to the ROMs that match their file names. For Alpha 3 branding, use the IPS files in the "sfa3ce" folder. For Zero 3 branding, use the IPS files in the "sfz3ce" folder.
5 - Zip the contents of your patched folder and rename it to "sfa3ud.zip"
6 - Put it in your MAME ROM directory. You might want to keep a separate installation of MAME for hacks so that they won't contaminate a clean ROM set.
7 - Run the game from the command line in your MAME folder, or create a .bat file in your MAME folder that contains the text "mame64 sfa3ud" and simply run that.
8 - Enjoy!
