Does anyone know how to get these 2 KOFs working with Saroo 0.7?(both are hacks versions)

KOF 96 tells me it needs a 4MB RAM cartridge and I have configured saroocfg.txt and it doesn't work and KOF 97 stays on a black screen.

links from where I downloaded them: https://retrogametalk.com/repository/sega_saturn_isos/the-king-of-fighters-96-japan/ https://retrogametalk.com/repository/sega_saturn_isos/the-king-of-fighters-97-4m-orochi-team-unlocked/

I will make a new version for saroo's 32m memory later if I have time

YZB . Thank you for everything you have done to improve our Saturn!

I have a question, would it be possible to have a RAM cartridge larger than 4MB? Do Saroo and Saturn support? A game with more RAM would be interesting.

By looking at this page in the ss Development documentation page About memory mapping when SIMM CART of Programming Box is turned on

http://docs.exodusemulator.com/Archives/SSDDV25/segahtml/index.html?page=faq/devl/p02_10.htm

The ss theoretically supports a 16MB+16MB+16MB RAM cartridge

Currently saroo can use 16M RAM cartridge directly, it is uncertain whether tpu will open the upgrade option of 32MB RAM cartridge in the future

There are already some hack games that use more than 4MB of RAM

1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J31hcr2mgMw use 6MB RAM cartridge

2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxsAeRm08Jo use 7 MB RAM cartridge

3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXuaY0dj19g use 9 MB RAM cartridge

4 http://bbs.chinaemu.org/read-htm-tid-129814.html use 16 MB RAM cartridge

5 next..........................

Incredible! I hope that one day we will have a KOF 97 using 32MB!! It would be really good! Would it be possible to modify KOF 97 so there is no loading between character changes? I remember that SNK didn't let the Saturn games be better than the NeoGeo CD, that's why the Saturn version didn't use the 4MB of RAM. I believe it would be better than the neogeo cd version.
