Right, it would appear that Skorpy has actually done something useful for once. - he's pasted the link for the 3.03 patch on the H.G site, which I've copied here at the bottom of the 'Read me'.
Here is the 3.03/3.03m version of the readme file.
README
Pacific Fighters v.3.03 (3.03m)
Warning
The current version 3.03 (3.03m) is not compatible with the previous versions of the game when playing via network. Both the server and client must have appropriate versions of the game in order to connect.
For your convenience we've introduced different version numbers for the stand-alone installation and the joint FB+AEP+PF install.
3.03 – for stand alone PF
3.03m – for FB+AEP+PF
And of course, the versions 3.03 and 3.03m are not compatible with each other playing via network.
Notes on the Patch Installation
This 3.03 patch may be installed over the previous 3.0 stand alone version.
The 3.03m patch version can only be installed over the merged PF 3.0 install (FB+AEP+PF).
This 3.03 patch maybe installed as well over 3.01(3.01m) or 3.02b(3,02bm) with corresponding installation versions.
To install the patch, run
1) Stand alone PF: PF_patch303.exe and follow the on-screen instructions.
2) Merget install FB+AEP+PF: PF_patch303m.exe and follow the on-screen instructions.
Notice: The new method tested in 3.01 and 3.02 need more work for protection of possible online cheaters. So currently we release such exe file only for dedicated server.
Notice: the main purpose of this patch
The version 3.03 makes compatible online all the language versions that are released or coming soon in several countries.
