This is a rather simpler mod of BT3/Sparking! Meteor i acrued and compiled myself after learning how to mod the game using the various tools the community made over the years (AFS Explorer, Sparking Studio etc), my motivation to made this is simply because after seeing how Sparking Zero uses the same JP localizations for its name and i also grew up with the Sparking release since i live in Hong Kong where i import alot of JP regional games, so i take it to making my own actual Sparking releases BT3 with the added benefit with English localizations but with JP original title names, soundtracks and modifications.
This is all vanilla canon DBZ stuffs, it has none of the goofy character mods or whatnot. And yes i would consider making the much more complete PAL Europe versions with all the other languanges but that takes time.
Changes include:
- Modified the soundtracks to using the actual JP release of the game which uses actual DBZ anime and Sparking Meteor soundtracks by Shunsuke Kikuchi (though rearranged and mostly instrumental), vocal Sparking Meteor intro with Super Survivor and included modified translated JP soundtrack lists names in the soundtrack selection that most BGM hack of this game completely ignored.
- Replaces the Budokai Tenkaichi 3 logo in main menu and replay logo to the clean Sparking Meteor logo (without the Japanese katakana pronounciation on the logo), i dont know why on emulators the logo looks a bit blurry, i might update it later.
- Added lots of new canon DBZ and DB characters for the second costumes slots for most rosters (One arm Future Gohan, GT Vegeta, Adult Blue Baby (Vegeta), Adult Chichi, Ginyu Goku, Future Teen Trunks, GT Trunks, Gohan in Kaioshin outfit etc). All of these are in the second costume slots of certain respective characters (though i also put and replace some to what i think best represents them).
- I made 2 versions here, one includes a bigger giant-type characters mod for some giants about the same size as Sparking Zero giants (courtesy of Sparking Hyper mod, currently still in beta). the other is the more vanilla one, other than the bigger giants versions, everything else has the same contents.

I actually also made a more complete BT3/Sparking Meteor with added 4 costumes slots for each characters and quite literally more characters added, and also some arena mods but the more i played it the more unstable it is so i don't feel like posting that one. But it does contain mostly vanilla canon DBZ characters (also no goofy character mods, so dont worry), if anybody interested you can contact me on Discord (#honey_pot2254) for me to share it with you.
To do lists:
- Complex system save and game editing to change the whole ID of the game and the icon of the save in the bios into custom Sparking! logo and names like the famous BT4 mod.
- Add more costumes slots versions that arent prone to crashing the game.
- Naming characters fix for certain western localized characters like Mr. Satan (Hercule), Fasha (Celipa) and many others, and maybe even fix all the moveset names to JP original names.
- Plan to add Battle of Gods/Resurrection F characters (SSJG, SSJB, Golden Frieza, Beerus and Whis) with fixes regarding whos to replace and how to make it less disruptive to the vanilla experience.
UPDATES: 9/04/2025
Google Drive links updated, new changes:
- Rearranged costumes slots to prevent movesets glitch with incompatible characters.
- Changes Hercule to Mr Satan in duel mode.
- Minor changes to hp starting stats for certain characters.
- For Bigger Giants version, disabled Giant Ape forms for Raditz, Nappa, Fasha and Turles to avoid awkward size differences when playing these vanilla size great apes with the bigger giant type characters.

But it defeats the whole purpose of this being a full complete iso (and its janky to set the cheats on real PS2). So instead im just gonna share my patched very unstable and unfinished personalized ISO that are based off KKTeamTenkaichi dlc mod, has every characters (canon dbz db dbgt), proper Vegeta GT slots, new arena stages, personalized actual DBZ anime soundtracks (without the soundtrack lists name changes for now), and also 2 dlc characters Whis and Beerus, planning to add SSJG/B or Golden Frieza.

And also im sharing just in case you want to play this on emulator my own cheat pnach setups for PCSX2 (includes proper widescreen hack)
