If you installed the file and the characters are still locked, try these fixes:
If you're uncomfortable with modifying game files or can't find a reliable source, consider using game emulators that offer built-in cheats or character unlocks. Some emulators, like ePSXe for PlayStation games, allow you to enter cheats that can unlock characters.
Launch Tekken 3. Navigate to "Options" -> "Memory Card". You should see a full card. Select it.
Go into "Arcade Mode" – you should immediately see Gon, Boskonovitch, and Anna on the character select screen.
Tekken 3 features a robust secret roster. Without unlocking them, you are missing half the fun. Here is who you are missing on a fresh save file:
Grinding for Gon alone requires beating "Tekken Ball" mode 5 times without losing a round. That is a tedious task most adult gamers simply do not have time for. A single save file fixes all of this instantly.
This is for educational / archival purposes. You must own a legitimate copy of Tekken 3 and a PS1 emulator to use this save file. No ROMs are provided here.
To unlock all characters in Tekken 3 for PC, you can either manually play through the game or use a pre-completed Save File (.mcr or .mcd) in your emulator. Fast Track: Download and Use a Save File
Most PC players use emulators like ePSXe or DuckStation. You can download a "100% complete" save file to skip the grind. 1. Download the File
Sources: Find 100% save files on community sites like GameFAQs or specialized emulation forums.
Format: Look for files with extensions like .mcr (ePSXe), .mcd (DuckStation), or .gme (DexDrive). 2. How to Install For ePSXe: Go to your ePSXe folder and find the memcards subfolder.
Rename your downloaded file to epsxe000.mcr (replaces Slot 1).
Launch the game and go to Options > Memory Card > Load if it doesn't auto-load. For DuckStation: Open DuckStation and go to Tools > Memory Card Editor. Click Import Card and select your downloaded file.
If your file is in .gme format, use a tool like MemcardRex to convert it to .mcd. Manual Unlock Guide (The "Legit" Way)

Tekken 3 is a classic, but unlocking its full roster—including Dr. Boskonovitch, Gon, Anna, Unknown, and Tiger—can take hours of arcade runs and special conditions. If you’d rather jump straight into vs. battles with everyone, a 100% complete save file is the quickest solution.
