Tekken 3 is one of the most popular fighting games, released in 1997, and it’s still played even after 28 years. Its 3D stages and unique character movements make it stand out. Since it was originally developed only for PlayStation, you can’t play it directly on a PC. In this guide, I’ll show you three ways to play it on your computer in full screen without lag or performance issues.

Before we start, make sure your Windows 10 is activated with a digital license. Running an unactivated version can cause performance issues and limit access to important settings. If your copy isn’t activated yet, I recommend using a valid Windows 10 product key so your system runs smoothly and feels genuine while playing games.

How to Play Tekken 3 on Windows 10

Here are the three ways to run Tekken 3 in full screen on your Windows 10:

1) Using PlayStation Emulator

A PlayStation emulator is the most faithful way to play Tekken 3 on PC, since it recreates the original console environment. Two of the most popular emulators are ePSXe and RetroArch.

Here’s what you need to do:

1. Download the emulator of your choice from its official website.

2. Install it on your PC and run the program.

3. Set up the BIOS file, which is required for the emulator to function.

4. Get the Tekken 3 ISO/ROM file. This is the digital version of the game disc.

5. Load the file in your emulator.

6. Go into settings and adjust video, sound, and controls. You can switch to full screen, increase resolution, and even use save states.

The emulator method is great if you want the game to look and feel close to the original PlayStation version, but with the bonus of modern enhancements. Adding a USB controller makes it feel even more authentic.

2) Using Android Emulator

If you’d rather play the mobile-friendly version, an Android emulator is the way to go. Programs like BlueStacks, LDPlayer, and Nox Player let you run Android apps on your Windows 10 PC.

Here’s how to set it up:

1. Download and install an Android emulator. BlueStacks is one of the most user-friendly options.

2. Once installed, open the emulator. It will look like an Android home screen on your PC.

3. Download the Tekken 3 APK file.

4. Drag the APK into the emulator or use the built-in “Install APK” option.

5. After installation, open Tekken 3 inside the emulator.

6. Go full screen for the best experience. You can map keyboard keys for movement and attacks, or connect a gamepad for smoother gameplay.

This option is ideal if you want a simpler setup and don’t want to deal with BIOS files or extra configurations. You get the Android version running on a big screen with PC-level performance.

3) Play Online

The easiest and most straightforward way to play Tekken 3 is through online websites. These sites are free to use and come with a built-in emulator. All you need to do is open the webpage and start playing the game in full screen. You don’t have to download anything or worry about controllers, since the websites handle everything for you.

Conclusion

Since the developers never officially released Tekken 3 for Android or PC, you might run into some glitches while playing. These issues are common, but you can usually fix them easily. I’ve played the game online, on Android, and on Windows 10, and in my opinion, Windows is the best choice because it allows you to play with friends. On the other hand, you can’t play with friends on mobile or online versions since the controls are limited to single-player only. If you have any questions, feel free to ask, and I’ll help you out as soon as possible.
