It aint really playable cause it runs as slow as hell and it keeps crashing!!! this is what PSXfanatics said about it:
Gameplay Description:
Crashes a lot, mostly during combat animations, but has happened during move phase and while in the network. Use save states often! If it crashes, reload state then try moving to a new spot or use a different attack. Other than that it does work, Ive gotten half way through Alisa's storyline so far.
Problems:
Crashes mentioned above. GPU's speed limiter does not work well, recommend turning it off. Slows down during some effects, like the wanzer pov in cinemas. Nasty flicker at title screen and with split screen effects in combat.
Now that doesnt sound very playable to me so personaly i would give it a miss unless anyone knows a config that it works with cause i sure as hell dont and i have been pissing around with it 4 ages!!!

I forgot to say that the game does work perfect with VGS 1.41 minus the filtering but it is still worth while cause it is a kewl game!!!
i use the 501xx's Patch Limited Edition 2 patch on vgs, i am not sure if the game works without it, so you might wanna experiment!!
Catch ya laterz!!!

Yup, it s great to see more and more great rpg translated into english, btw, zsnes 1.31b have some problems w/ the patched rom, and snes9x hasn t any.
BTW, If u want to play Front mission 3 on an emu, I suggest FPSE 0.09. FM3 Runs grea on it, (better than on ePSXe IMO) but there this sound timing problem I cannot get rid of
; I must put 40 additionnal frames per second to hear the music properly played.Such a dilemna between sound and graphics

Very well said, Fou-lu. Actually zsnes 1.31b had NO problems with Front mission whatsoever, aside from a little flickering now and then. There was also a rumor that you needed to activate the "-u" switch to play FM with zsnes 1.31b, which is also wrong.
It had some screens corruptions (for example, in the second battle, put the selection square on a tree, and see what happens )
And , yeah it had this message screen flickering problem and the beginning map problem.
That s just what I have noticed until now, cause I still in the beginning (I just got the 6 th character )
The patch can be found here:

Yes, there is more flickering if you scroll the map around (in any mission, I don't think it has something to do with trees) - but I think it's just that. Flickering. ...so basically we were talking about the same problem Also note that this occured in the jap/unpatched rom also. The new version of zsnes, fixes the major flickering problems (even though there is no mention in the docs) and only leaves the "beginning map problem" (now, this is indeed a graphics glitch, no doubt about that).
RPGD is a great site translation-wise, although The Whirlpool is the one I visit more often (as stated in a previous post )
Thank you for replying in such a short notice, Rargh ......Front Mission sure is a fine game - let me know if you discover any other bug creeping its way to spoil our enjoyment !! - thanks again
