# Supermodel-VK
Model 3 debuted in 1996 with Virtua Fighter 3 and Scud Race, and for the three years that followed it
was the most powerful 3D hardware of any gaming platform. Developed by Real3D, then a Lockheed Martin
company, with a heritage rooted in flight-simulator technology, it could store, transform, light and
rasterise tens of thousands of polygons per frame at a fluid 57.524 frames per second. No public
documentation for the platform exists; everything known about it was reverse engineered.
**A Vulkan-focused fork of Supermodel, the open-source Sega
Model 3 arcade emulator.**
## 🚧 Sega Model 3 Arcade Emulator - Progress Update & Sneak Peek ##
I've been hard at work polishing the upcoming release **v0.9.2**! 
This update focuses heavily on refining the UI/launcher experience and introducing a seamless in-game overlay menu, alongside several long-awaited bug fixes.
Here is a rundown of the latest progress:
### 🎮 UI & Launcher Enhancements
* **Integrated Box Art & Cover Display:** Game covers are finally here! The game list now displays box art, making title browsing much more visual and intuitive.
* **Smoother Input Configuration:** Resolved the micro-stutter/lag that occurred whenever navigating to the controls page. Button mapping has also been moved forward for quicker, more ergonomic access.
* **Streamlined UI Text:** Stripped away redundant and cluttered descriptions from the original interface for a cleaner, modern look.
* **Custom Resolution Fix:** Fixed a bug where custom resolution settings failed to take effect.
 ▲ New UI layout featuring integrated box art display 
### 🖥️ In-Game Experience & Graphical Fixes
* **New In-Game Quick Menu (OSD):** Bring up an in-game menu at any time during gameplay to toggle widescreen mode on the fly, cycle through CRT shaders/filters, and manage save states—all without having to exit back to check.
 ▲ Quick in-game overlay for real-time video, shader, and save state adjustments 
* **Visual & Rendering Fixes:**
 * Fixed an issue where an abnormal blue line would occasionally appear along the top edge of the screen in certain titles.
 * Resolved geometry rendering bugs (e.g., the dinosaur boss glitch in *The Lost World: Jurassic Park* where the eyes and flesh separated from the skeleton).

All core features are now basically functional, and I am currently running final stability and performance tests. A stable release will be published as soon as packaging is finalized.
Can't wait to take it for a spin? A beta build is available for early testing here: 
Version `0.9.0.3a-20261017`, based on upstream `v0.3a-20261017-git-b05ef21`.
