Tried to Make a Rom Hack of KOF2002 Work on the MiSTer

Unread post by Darilheid »

I know some of you might consider this a lame request. :D
I was trying to get the romhack "The King of Fighters 2002: PlayStation 2 Hack Ver.1.0" to work on the Mister.
However, after decrypting it using Aluzed's python script it didn't work.
I even tried setting it to ram=2 and then to ram=3, still no success.
I guess the modder did something crazy that might not work on real hardware, but if someone knowledgeable could take a look into this it would be cool because this hack adds some characters that are available only in the PS2 version, like King, Geese, Shingo, Goenitz, etc...

Link to download the hack:

I also found on my old files a rom hack that makes special moves really easy to come out, like doing an inverted half circle forward does a dragon punch.
Spining the dpad like crazy will make almost any desparation move come out.
Specially valuable for someone with a controller that's not ideal for fighting games.
I don't know who made it because it's more than 20 years old, I can't find it anywhere on the web, not even a mention to it's existence.
After I decrypted it using the python script it worked well on the Mister. I made it available on the archive.

well first off mame roms for neogeo are encrypted so you need unencrypted roms.
that doesnt mean your out of luck.

have you tried converting the roms to .neo?
