WTF I NEED sfiii_japan.29f400.u2

where can i find the bios file?? i cannot find it, the link u had up is no longer valid. may someone please send me a link to a now working bios file for street fighter 3 3rd strike

my bad; I meant, MAME version 1.27

good luck dude; you're gonna need it. MAME will work, but its a pain in the ass to set up and get running, you will have to do a lot of key poking and mouse clicking. If you're smart though you'll figure it out.

@stardingo747 I gave up and deleted everything. Luckily enough some files were still running on my computer for some reason and I didn't get to delete the Roms and stuff...so I guess I'll try again.

Basically, I was using a MAME version called: MAME32++ 0.117 (Jul 12 2007)

I guess that explains it though. Becuase when I was running it there it said it was missing both the CHD (which I had) and a file which ended in .u2 .... So I don't know what's left know...where can I get MAME 1.27?

Just google "MAME" and go to the official site, then look for any "past versions" or whatever theyr'e called. If I were you I would try to google the files the poster of this vid mentions in the video description, and then put all of them in the SF III rar folder. Obviously the links he posted won't work, so you will have to hunt them yourself. I don't have that .u2 file, and it runs just fine. Again though, you need MAME version 1.27

MAME is a pain in the ass to use man, its part of why my arcade classics game collection is so limited. You need like 20 separate versions of MAME, to play games of different eras, its messed up. MAME's problem, is how vastly different arcade boards were ranging from the 70's to now. You look at an arcade board from the 90's, and its chip and memory set is vastly different from one from the early 80's, so coding a MAME that will run them both is a nightmare.

Frankl I'm amazed that Ivan even pulled it off.

I call the MAME developer "Ivan" because he's Russian.

The street fighter III file does not come in a single neatly packaged winrar folder, at least not anymore. You need to download two rar folders, namely the rom itself, and the CHD file which gets the rom to work on the MAME. You open both folders, and you take the contents of the CHD rar folder, and place them in the rom folder of SF III. Once the SF III folder has the CHD in it, the MAME should be able to run it provided you have version .127
