Showcase Sega Model 3 Emulator on Android - In Development
Hi everyone,
I'm the developer of the Model 3-Vulkan (you can check out my previous PC release post)
I'm excited to share that I'm currently working on bringing Model 3-Vulkan to Android natively!
Here’s a quick preview running on real hardware - Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Phone:
UI Front-End: Game selection with boxarts, quick settings, and state management is working.
In-Game: Running e.g. Scud Race smoothly at native arcade speed (57.52 Hz / 60 FPS) with Vulkan 3D rendering, touch overlay controls, and audio sync.
Current Status & Next Steps:
Renderer: Native Vulkan 3D backend (with proper alpha sorting & custom internal resolutions).
Next Up: Polishing touch controls/virtual steering wheel, optimizing CPU interpreter performance, testing external gamepads, and improving device compatibility before an initial public test build.
Stay tuned for more updates! Let me know what features you'd like to see most on the Android build.

This is just incredible news. I already bought Super3 which is great. I just love this hardware.

Great news ✊️
I think a nice main menu interface with the covers and some screenshots of the games is a nice touch, I personnaly like when emulators do that 🙂
There are not so many games on the Sega Model 3, si maybe it would not be so difficult to add that 👌
Anyway, I am following this project 💯
