The first step to getting Sonic The Fighters and other SEGA Model 3 games (most importantly, Virtua Fighter 3tb and the aforementioned Fighting Vipers 2) would be the addition of rollback multiplayer to an existing Model 3 emulator like Supermodel.
I’m not sure what the state of Model 3 emulation is generally, but it’s certainly frustrating that actually breathing some life into these games is going to be a fan-driven effort when SEGA themselves is about to drop most likely perfect Model 3 emulation onto modern systems as a mini-game in Like A Dragon... again.
