It's a patch for the SH3.exe file.

Without it the game will only use a maximum of 2GB RAM no matter how much you have and how much of it is available. Many older programs are hardcoded to use a maximum of 2GB but with more and more folks using 64-bit systems with 4+ gigs of memory on board, the 2GB limit doesn't make as much sense as it did back when dinosaurs roamed the earth.
The patch sprinkles fairy dust on the .exe file and makes it possible for the game to use twice as much - a max of 4 gigs of memory, provided you have it on board and it's not being used for something else.
