You need 4 x 128Mbit SIMMs and 2 x 64Mbit SIMMs to play 3rd Strike.
You also need an un-dead original 3rd strike cartridge to load from an original 3rd Strike CD
OR
a SuperBIOS cartridge (the custom SH2 or stock SH2 processor version) and download the appropriate CD image from here and burn it to a CD.

If your pcb already has the proper SIMMs to run 2nd Impact then you only need one more 128mb SIMM.
If he just wants to play 3rd strike, isn't it possible to use his security cart with a modified 2i->3s ISO? (so long as he has the required SIMMs)
That method was dropped and never fully finished. There are plenty of bugs in the ISO for that method.
Based on the photo, you also need a working CD-ROM drive and the necessary cables if you do not have already.
As @Mitsurugi-w said already, you only need one more 128Mbit SIMM.
And either have that security cartridge converted to SuperBIOS (or you can do it by yourself if you can solder/de-solder surface mount components) OR have to buy a SuperBIOS cart.

Thank you. I do have the accompanying CD Drive.
@Mitsurugi-w could I order one 128Mbit SIMM and a SuperBIOS cart?
That'll run Japanese ver A 3rd Strike as it'll be for tournament use.
Thank you.
Where are you located?
We don't have any more simms yet. Will be a few momths. Gotta sell most of these repro carts first.

No need to buy the reproduction cart unless you want to preserve the cart you already have. You can send your existing cart off to Mitsu and he can do a swap/upgrade for you. He is busy with life and there may be a delay. You can buy the reproduction cart if there are any left. Go here to find out how. As for the SIMM's, they are not ready yet. Keep an eye out on this thread when they are ready because they are sure to go quick.
We have plenty or repro carts left. 
I'm in England.
Happy to buy a repro cart in prep to play 3S.
Are you the guys who were doing the CPSIII Plexi covers too? They are nice.
