Note that prior to installing this release you must *fully* uninstall your current release. Don't forget to rollback SH3 Commander first and back up any SH3 Commander files that you may have modified!

To download, click here. Please note that SH3 Commander's Update feature will not work due to me changing ISP last month.

After you have installed SH3 Commander you can reapply any add-ons such as the Combined Skin Pack. YOU SHOULD ALSO ENSURE THAT YOU FIRST VISIT THE SH3 OPTIONS SCREEN, as some options have changed.

As always, please post your questions/feedback/problems to this thread after reading the readme and FAQ (both files are installed into your SH3 Commander folder). Due to other priorities, threads started elsewhere with titles like "Problem" or "Why won't this work", may not receive my attention.

**Feel free to post links to this thread in other SH3 related forums.
