Core Requirements

• MAME Version: Most of these hacks are built on older MAME cores (v0.78 to v0.118). Newer builds (v0.200+) often break sprite pointers and sound channels in fan-made patches.
• Neo Geo BIOS: You will need the neogeo.zip BIOS file. Anniversary hacks sometimes require a debug BIOS to bypass region-locking.
• Parent ROM: The hack is typically distributed as a .ips or .xdelta patch file. You must apply this patch to a clean, verified ROM of KOF '98 (kof98.zip) .
