Introduction

Welcome to the SSR3 wiki! This wiki will be a centralized source of information for competitive online SSR3 PvP. It will include many resources aimed at helping you to play and understand the game.

Setting up online play

This section will help you set-up online play using melonDS.
※This section will only cover how to play online with melonDS, since it's the most optimal option for PvP.

1. Requirements

Before using melonDS, make sure that your PC meets requirements similar to these:

  • CPU: AMD FX-8350
  • Graphics Card: Nvidia GTX750 ti
  • RAM: 4GB DDR3

melonDS is still a relatively new emulator, so it isn't as optimized as older emulators like DeSmuME. These specs will allow you to play SSR3 at a solid 60FPS. However, there'll be an upcoming JIT feature in a new version of the emulator which can provide a significant speed boost (although it's not guaranteed that you'll reach 60FPS).

2. Setting up melonDS

※It is illegal to link DS BIOS files or ROMs.

First download melonDS from here:

After you've downloaded the file, extract it with a program like 7-Zip/WinRAR:


Once the folder has been extracted, place the BIOS and Firmware files into the melonDS folder and rename them to bios7.bin, bios9.bin and firmware.bin like so:
※The BIOS and Firmware files are not included in the download since it is illegal to link ROM files.

Then, put the SSR3 ROM into the melonDS folder:

※The ROM file will NOT be included in the download since it is illegal to link them.

Next, download the corresponding save files for your game:

Place them in the melonDS folder and give them the same name as the ROM:

Launch melonDS and setup the proper BIOS/Firmware paths by going to Config > Emu Settings:

You can also configure your controls by going to Input & Hotkeys and make sure to go to Config > Video Settings and set the 3D renderer to OpenGL since it's faster than Software Rasterizer.

Now that we have configured melonDS, it's time to set-up online play.

2.5 Optional melonDS settings

(※This step is optional)

Here are some optional melonDS settings which you may find helpful.

Control Configuration

You can configure the controls of melonDS by going to Config > Input and hotkeys like so:



JIT Configuration

If your game is slow and under 60FPS, then you can use JIT to try and speed the game up. There's no guarantee that you'll reach 60FPS, but it can help.

You can access JIT by going to Config > Emu Settings > CPU Emulation.



Make sure to untick Branch Optimisations as it can cause some issues.

Set the Maximum JIT block size to 10 first, then keep increasing it until you get 60FPS. 32 is the maximum block size you can have.

Graphics Options

You can can improve the way the game looks via upscaling:


This can be done by going to Config > Video Settings:



I) Select OpenGL.
II) Select the desired upscaled resolution.

3. melonDS online setup

Load up the game by pressing File> Open ROM. Choose the SSR3 ROM which you just placed in the folder.

Once you're in-game, follow these instructions:

1. Go to the network menu



  • I & II: Click on the bottom right button.
  • III: You will be asked to save your game, press the left option twice.
  • IV: Choose the bottom option to go to the WFC WiFi menu.

2. Clear the WFC ID

(※Skip this step if the middle option in picture III is greyed out).


  • I: Click on the bottom option in the WiFi menu. It will ask you to save before going into the network setup, choose the left option twice.
  • II: Choose the orange button.
  • III: Click the middle option.
  • IV & V: Click/press A twice to clear the WFC ID.

The emulator will shutdown afterwards, launch the game again and go to the network menu.

3. Finding melonAP



  • I: Go to the online setup again and this time around, choose the blue option.
  • II: Choose the first WiFi setup box.
  • III: Press the blue button at the top to search for an access point.
  • IV: You should find melonAP, click on it or press A.
  • V: Press A again.
  • VI: There will be a connection test performed. It should fail and give you error code 20100 or 20110.
Press A to exit the menu and go back to the previous WiFi menu with the WiFi setup boxes.

4. AltWFC DNS configuration


  • I: Go to the first WiFi setup box which had previously failed to connect.
  • II: Scroll down until you find the Auto-Obtain DNS option.
  • III: Set it to false.
  • IV: Click on the right option near the primary DNS address to edit it.
  • V: Input 172.104.88.237 and then press the bottom right option.
  • VI: Press/Click A to save the DNS address.
  • VIII: Repeat the same process for the secondary DNS address.

5. Finishing up



  • I: Press the top right option to perform a connection test.
  • II: It should succeed.
  • III: After it succeeds, press the bottom right option to save the WiFi set-up.

Now keep pressing B until you're at the WFC online menu.

6. Searching for a match



  • I: Press the top option. You will get a prompt which complains about the cartridge and save data not matching, ignore this option and keep pressing the left option until it starts saving.
  • II: Choose the top-left option with the question mark to search for opponents.
  • III: Click both options once and search for your opponent.

This concludes the online setup section of this page. You won't have to repeat this again after doing it for the first time or for other games which use WFC like SSR2 or Mario Kart DS for example.

Applying the English patch

Before you start, make sure that your ROM file is ABSOLUTELY CLEAN and hasn't been modified with anything before.

First, download the patch for your corresponding version from here:

Then, follow the instructions shown in the following picture:


ENG Patch Translation Progress

This still a WIP, but this is what has currently been translated:

Content Progress
Battle card names/descriptions 100%
Omega-Xis weapon names & descriptions 100%
Noise Card ability names 100%
Rezon card names 100%
Rezon brother card names 100%
In-battle dimmer names 100%
In-battle Finalize Level text 100%
In-battle SSS/MS text 95%
In-battle Brother text 95%

Other things such as the WFC menus, the folder edit menu, the profile menu and so on are partly translated for now. This is still a WORK IN PROGRESS so there will be a few small mistakes here and there which will be corrected after some time.

Where to go from here

Now that you have successfully setup melonDS for online play, you should first read the Rules & Regulations page.

After that, it's recommended to first grab a pre-made save from the Custom Builds page and learn the game by reading through the ▼Basics part of the Gameplay & Mechanics section.

However, if you're already familiar with most of the game's systems, you can head straight to the Save Editing section after reading the Rules & Regulations page.

You can join a SSR3 Discord server to play with other people or ask for help with any issues which you may be having:
