YZB first brought us a 4MB optimized Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, and now they have patched Saturn’s King of Fighters ’95 to bypass its proprietary ROM cart, utilizing common aftermarket 4MB RAM carts instead, just as they did for Ultraman recently. Like Ultraman, KOF95’s custom ROM cart worked flawlessly as a physical copy protection barrier through the years, but that is now a thing of the past.
KOF95 and Ultraman were the only Saturn games locked to proprietary ROM carts, which means that the entire Saturn library is now playable from ODEs or simple burned discs.
The Ultraman, Castlevania SOTN, and KOF95 hacks use aftermarket 4MB RAM carts (Action Replay, All-in-One/PseudoSaturn carts, red carts, etc), not the official 4MB Sega RAM cart.
An alpha version has been released for testing at ChinaEmu, translated to English below:
