Tessa's sh3.exe did not work for me either.
It is, somehow, different from the version of sh3.exe that h.sie's patcher is expecting.
The sh3.exe one gets from Steam is different still. Not only does it not work with h.sie's patcher, it is a different filesize from Tessa's (1308 KB instead of 1300 KB).
I can confirm that the Steam sh3.exe does act differently. When I run it, a Steam window pops up briefly. It will run in "offline mode," so I suspect it is checking to see whether my SHIII install is "activated" or something like that.
