You really do not supply enough info to easily help you, so we'll walk you through it all, just in case. In the mod's Support folder are several pdf files with SH4 installation tips, and FotRSU activation instructions. Look for "Install Notes For SH4.pdf" and "Activating Fall of the Rising Sun Ultimate Edition" for massive quantities of verbosity... - but lots of help.

1. The first step is proper SH4 installation, as far as modding the game goes. You must NOT be in a "Program Files" folder, including if using a stock Steam install, of which their "Library" folder is in "C:\Program Files (x86) \Steam \SteamApps \common \Wolves of the Pacific..." by default. Refer to that pdf above and/or Moving a Steam Installation and Games for the "Steam" way of doing it. With the Ubisoft download version, it used to be easy to copy and paste the game folder elsewhere. Hopefully, that still applies, but I have not attempted it myself in a while. If you have the disk version of the game, you MUST install the DirectX v9.0c files and the Codecs, as shown in that Install pdf.
2. You would then unzip and activate the mod with JSGME, which you seem to be doing correctly. However, run JSGME.exe again, and click on the "Tasks..." link in the middle of the applet, then on "Export activated mods list to --->" and then "Clipboard" to copy the data to the Windows clipboard. You can then use the <Ctrl><V> keyboard combination to "paste" the text into your next post. Or you could choose "Text file" in JSGME, and then copy and paste that text in your post.
3. Next up would be ensuring that the SH4.exe and FileManager.dll files are "write-enabled" for slight modifications. You can right-click on the files individually, or select them both and right-click, which brings up a context menu. On that first "General" tab in the bottom section "Attributes" is a "Read-only" tick box. Make certain that is "clear", no tick mark at all. "OK" your way out.
4. Next up would be running either "4Gig Patch.exe" or "Large Address Aware.exe" (LAA). Which ever you run, you would 'target' the SH4.exe file, and set it to be able to address more than the usual amount of memory that Windows allows a 32-bit app. Read more about that in that 'Activation' pdf listed above.
5. You then either have to delete the Save data folder (C:\Users \UserName \Documents \SH4), or create a new one using MultiSH4.exe. You can use any 3-character name you want,using numbers or letters. The game needs "fresh" data in the Save folder, which if you empty it, allows the game to create a new one without any old data that would not get over-written.
6. You then have to be certain that the Compatibility Properties of the SH4.exe file is properly set for your computer hardware, which might take some experimenting, depending upon your system. Right-click again on the SH4.exe file, and click on the "Compatibility" tab. On that tab, you might have to set the "Run this program in compatibility for:" and then use the drop-down box to choose. For my one computer I have to do this on, the "Win7 SP1 works. The other two computers don't need that. Then there is the "Disable fullscreen optimizations" tick box you might need to use. I have one 4k monitor, but run the game at 1920x1080 on it, and have to use that on that box. The other two do not. You probably do not need to use the "Run this program as an administrator", but some folks do. Almost without exception, on the Win10 and 11 machines, you will have to use the "Change high DPI settings" button. On the next screen, at the bottom, tick the "Override high DPI scaling behavior..." and click on "Application" in the drop-down box. Very very rarely, some users have had to use the "Program DPI" at the top of the page, and it might be necessary if you have a 4k monitor, and use Windows "Scaling" to make your icons on the desktop larger. If you need to do that, click on the tick box for "Use this setting to fix scaling problems..." and "Use the DPI that is set for my main display when..." drop-down box there, choose "I open this program". I seriously doubt you need that though. "OK" your way out again.

With all of that, you can then run the game, and choose Options, and then set things the way you want them. Exit the game, and then re-start it again, and you should have things good to go now. See if you can get into the 3D world now. Let us know how you get along!

I've uninstalled the whole game and deleted the file from Steam.
I'll be trying again trying my best to follow your instruction.
Once I've been a nerd and understand all of that but now I ain't the brightest tool in the crayon box for those sorts of things.
But you have my thanks.
And thank you all for my welcome. :p
I'll keep you updated.
