Crucially, in the SRM—that data is held in volatile memory during a session and lost on reset. It also does not store replays (unlike later Tekkens). 4. Technical Deep Dive: Locating the Unlock Flag Let’s analyze a typical Tekken 3 SRM dump from a 100% completed game.
1. What is an SRM File? In the context of emulators (most notably ePSXe , PCSX-Reloaded , DuckStation , and RetroArch ), an .srm file is a raw, sector-by-sector dump of a PlayStation memory card. The name "SRM" historically stands for SRAM (Static RAM) save, mirroring how cartridge-based consoles stored persistent data.
: Tekken 3 always writes to the first available block with its signature, but often to Block 1 (offset 0x2000 to 0x3FFF in the SRM).
| Category | Specifics | |----------|------------| | | Dr. Bosconovitch, Gon, Tiger, Eddy (though Eddy is initially locked in some regions), Forest Law, etc. | | Game Progress | Arcade mode clears (for each character, unlocking endings in Theater Mode) | | Time Attack Records | Best times per character in Time Attack mode | | Team Battle Records | High scores & number of wins | | Force Mode Progress | Unlocked levels and high scores in the beat-‘em-up side mode | | Options Settings | Difficulty, time limit, sound mode (stereo/mono), controller config | | Ghost Data | CPU-replicated fighting style of a player (for Practice mode’s “Ghost” opponent) | | Player Name | The name entered in the options (usually 8 characters, ASCII) |
: Within block 1, at relative offset 0x1F0 (last frame), you’ll see the ASCII string TEKKEN3 followed by version and region (e.g., TEKKEN3U for US, TEKKEN3J for Japan).
