[https://segaretro.org/Sega_Model_3 Sega Model 3] is an arcade platform released in 1996 as the successor to [[Sega Model 2]]. Model 3 continued several arcade games series established on previous Sega arcade boards, with games such as; Daytona USA 2, Sega Rally 2, Virtua Fighter 3 and Star Wars Trilogy Arcade. Upon release, the Model 3 board was more powerful than any other arcade platform on the market, as well as any home console or computer at the time; it took several years for home systems to catch-up. Model 3 was followed by [[Sega NAOMI and variants|Sega Naomi]] in 1998 which uses a similar architecture to the [[Sega_Dreamcast_emulators|Sega Dreamcast]]. It had an IBM-Motorola PowerPC 603e CPU that could run at 66 MHz, 100 MHz, and 166 MHz with 33,321KB of RAM. It had two Lockheed Martin Real3D/Pro-1000 GPUs.

=== Comparisons ===
*'''[[Supermodel]]''' is an open-source Sega Model 3 emulator with good compatibility. The aim of the Supermodel project is to develop an emulator that is both accurate and playable. However, after several years of development, it still lacks a lot of the originally planned features (such as a user-friendly graphical interface). It has an experimental multi-player network build (~6 games supported for now).<ref name="multiplayer">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2u9dbWuclBc</ref> Make sure to use the latest [http://www.emucr.com/search/label/Supermodel SVN version] since the build on the home page is severely outdated, and check out the [https://www.supermodel3.com/Help.html help page] for instructions on how to use it. A [[libretro]] port has been confirmed to be in the making.<ref name="libretro">https://www.patreon.com/posts/reicast-libretro-19733457</ref>
*'''[[MAME]]''' has a driver for Sega Model 3 but emulation is in a preliminary state, with no games marked as working yet. It is slow and has lots of bugs, some games hang or crash.
