Your Steam version is the newest SH3 available, definitely not StarFarce. The "Reloaded" is just a name the author gave to his "twist" on the applet. The 4gig patches just flip a bit in the executable file, and you could use Large Address Aware (LAA), of which CapnScurvy did a write-up on in the SH4 threads "Windows10; Large Address Aware; SH4 Install, focused on Windows 10, but it also applies to Vista thru Win8. You could also use NTCore 4GB Patch to do the same thing. h.sie should also have the choice on its menu. The main thing with those apps is the OS has to be a 64-bit version, unless you want to get into some fancy footwork with boot.ini and / or BCDEdit. You should also have 4gig or more of RAM. Another point of importance is that the SH3.exe file has to be write-enabled for the 4g patches to "take". Right-click on SH3.exe, and choose "Properties" from the resultant context menu. On that first "General" tab, toward the bottom, you'll see a "tick box" for "Read-only". Make certain that is cleared, to where it is blank. "OK" that, and do the patch.

Now, all that said, don't expect your Save to load. It might, but usually speaking, when a Save fails, its done. So don't expect miracles. If it works after the 4 gig, fantastic. Just be forewarned.
