The patch is available from the SF3 Translation project FTP courtesy of Moogie and Shining Force Central.
II. Patching Process Information- Once the patched bin or iso has been created it can be played using an emulator or burned to a CD to be played in a mod-chipped Saturn. This method will work with all of the Shining Force III discs.
Instructions Option 1 – SF3TranslationPatcher.exe The SF3TranslationPatcher.exe only works with a CD drive (no virtual drive support) and uses the bin/cue format exclusively. Windows 10 is supported.
Place the original game CD in an available CD drive. The Scenario 1 patch requires the US or UK version. It will not work correctly with the Japanese version.
Launch SF3TranslationPatcher.exe
The program will auto-detect which scenario is in the drive and ask you to verify. Once you click OK, a dialog will appear with the scenario name at the top in bold.
Here you can enable paul_met’s view increase mod, Rescan Drives or Patch. a. paul_met’s view increase mod provides a slightly higher resolution that increases the screen size slightly. Recommended, but may not be ideal for all set-ups.
Click the Patch button and browse to the location you want to place the cue/bin files. The SF3Patch directory is recommended. Type a name for the files. If you are overwriting, be sure the cue/bin isn’t currently mounted and select the bin file to overwrite. Click Save to start the patch process.
Wait for all the command windows to finish. Do not attempt any other activities while the patch is running. This can cause errors.
Use Virtual Clone Drive (or Daemon Tools if you prefer) to mount the .CUE file and run with an emulator or burn the cue/bin to a disc for use in a modded Saturn.
Option 2 – Isomaker
The Isomaker patch works with either a CD drive or a virtual drive and uses the ISO format, but issues with Windows 10 have been reported.
Place the original game CD in an available CD drive or mount an image. If using an image, be sure to place it in a location other than the SF3Patch directory. The Scenario 1 patch requires the US or UK version. It will not work correctly with the Japanese version.
Launch ISOMAKER 2.exe
Select the scenario you are patching and click the Make CD button.
Double click the drive of the CD or image.
Wait for all the command windows to finish. Do not attempt any other activities while the Isomaker is running. This can cause errors.
The SF3.ISO and SF3.CUE files will appear in the folder with the ISOMAKER 2.exe. These can be renamed so long as both file names and the ISO name on the first line of the .CUE file match. (open, edit and save .CUE file with Notepad)
Use Virtual Clone Drive (or Daemon Tools if you prefer) to mount the .ISO (or .CUE) file and run with an emulator or burn the ISO/CUE to a disc for use in a modded Saturn.
Troubleshooting
If either patch program crashes, try these solutions in order:
Make sure you have enough free disk space. 1 gb is a safe amount.
Move the “SF3Patch” directory closer to the root. It may not work correctly if it is located within many folders.
If you have had either patch program crash or you have stopped it before it finished, you will need to delete the temp folder in the SF3Patch directory. This can be caused from having a cue file mounted in Daemon Tools while trying to run the patch. The SF3Track2.bin file is then locked for editing and can’t be written at the end of the process. Unmount all drives, delete the temp directory and try again.

Shining Force 3 as the name suggests is part of the Shining series of games. This one was released in 1998 and was the final game in the series to appear on the Sega Saturn. Fans of more tactics-based RPGs hold this game and this series in very high esteem. It is certainly a game you need to consider adding to your collection if you have a Sega Saturn.
Two Empires At War
Ok, so I know I am going to get yelled at for this, but the story in Shining Force 3 is probably the weakest aspect of the game in my opinion. You have two warring empires, the Aspinian Empire and the Destonia Empire are not exactly on good terms. The basics are there was a peace treaty, it was ended by “strange” circumstances and you are part of a group trying to fix it.
I am sure some people liked the story, but for me, it dragged on far too long and there was far too much politics and text about politics that it made me lose interest. It was a bit of a shame as some of the characters are really cool.
Shining Force 3D
The presentation of the game is fantastic. The game made the jump to the world of 3D very, very well and I think it is a real standout title on the Sega Saturn for its visuals alone. The game has some amazing FMV here and that is probably the best aspect of the story. The characters, enemies, and locations all have had a lot of work put into them.Shining Force 3 has a great soundtrack that sounds like a live orchestra and it fits the action perfectly. It has some very memorable tunes and during the battles, it ramps up which makes things feel even more epic. Sadly, the voices that are in the game are pretty horrible. I would have preferred silence over the voice acting we got!
Same Old Shining Force
The Shining Force series has some of the tactics-based gameplay around and here it was the best it had ever been up to this point. You basically have two main areas of gameplay. You can explore towns/buildings and so on and you can also battle. You can talk to townsfolk, get weapons, move the plot along, and so on. Battles are where the real fun is!
You have a ton of different classes ranging from swordsmen, wizards, and centaurs. They each have their own strength and weaknesses and there is a kind of rock, paper, scissors things going on with the combat. Many tactics based RPGs are bogged down by complicated controls, but that is not the case here. You move your characters across the battlefield and need to think about what you want to do. It is great stuff that is in-depth, but not at the expense of being fun.
Some RPGs are hard to recommend even when they are good as they can be very hard to get into, especially ones that are over 20 years old. Shining Force 3 is not one of those games. While I am not a fan of the story at all, the gameplay is so engaging and the battle system is so much fun that this is the kind of game that is very easy to get lost in. It is one of the best games for the Sega Saturn and I highly recommend you play this. You do not even need to have played the other games to get the best out of this.
