Does anyone own this rare version of KOF ZILLION?

• Does anyone have this version of KOF ZILLION ? It looks like it was released between 2006 and 2007. There are only a few clips on YouTube (which I'll list below) and this image, which I found a link on a website that redirects to the old RapidShare, which has been shut down. If you search on YouTube for ''KOF Zillion Before:2008'', you can find several videos of this specific version. However, searching on Google yields no results. By accessing the closed Mugen China forum through the Wayback Machine, you can find a lot of saved content, even download links for this build that lead to a functional Badongo,net page. However, the download does not start. While practically the entire forum is preserved on the Wayback Machine, the build itself is not downloadable. If anyone has it, I would be very grateful.

it's not exactly the same version, but I found a version from 2008 on 4shared of which I mirrored for the sake of convenience. https://www.mediafire.com/file/4goa1jaohq9c0bb/kofz2008.zip/file

 

your antivirus may detect the launcher and game .exe files as malware but it's most likely a false positive.

Oh right, this version isn't the same, this version is MK2 of KOF Zillion, it predates MK3 which already had the menus and artwork that became famous.

Here, there is a lot of saved stuff from Mugen China. The version I'm looking for is probably MK1, but they only call it a beta there. Anyway, this is the page where I found the downloads with the functional Badongo links. https://web.archive.org/web/20071021041431/http://www.mugenchina.org/phpwind/read.php?tid=1291

I tried running the links with jdownloader2 and nothing came out of it. however I did find some files on the Wayback Machine that correspond to the build, though I wouldn't know how to compile them, as a few vital ones are missing.

Wow, I didn't think that would be possible. But still, I think it's impossible to compile it with missing parts. I have the impression that some people still have this build. For instance, juu-bei7 uploaded the lifebar of this build to the Mugen Archive, but I can't contact him. Also, after analyzing the readme, I noticed it redirects to a site on the same domain where I found another Mugen considered lost media. I didn't try going much further because cafe.naver (a Korean site) asks for a phone number to view its content. https://<BLACKLISTED URL>/forums/downloads.php?do=file&id=121015-kof-zillion-lifebar-sword-dancer

Update: I tried using a program called ''De-MOLE-ition'' on the parts where extraction was still possible, but I didn't get anything. Unfortunately, it only recovered a ''chars'' folder with a few characters and nothing else.
