+The Sega Model 3 is an arcade board released in 1996 by Sega as a successor to the SEGA Model 2 board. It was significantly more powerful than the fifth-gen home consoles available at its time of release, more akin to the power of the sixth-gen consoles. It featured games such as Sega Rally 2, Daytona USA 2, Virtua Fighter 3 and Star Wars Trilogy Arcade.
-Sega Model 3 emulation is still in its early stages, but many games are already at playable points with only minor issue.
+Due to this power deficit between the Model 3 and the home consoles available at the time, not many games were ported to home consoles, leaving the only way to experience these games from playing them at the arcade.
+Sega Model 3 emulation is still in its early stages, but many games are already at playable points with only minor issues.

+Leave them as ZIP files, do not extract them. Supermodel in Batocera **v34** and below use MAME's 0.220 ROMset. Batocera **v35** and higher use [[:arcade#romset_version_per_stable_batocera_release|the latest MAME ROMset]].
 Files inside the ZIP must match the board ROM and CRC expected by the emulator to function properly. Each ZIP must only contain one compressed ROM and be named correctly for compatibility.
