 Preservation First: Why This KOFM Collection Matters

You might be wondering,"What? Is this guy crazy? Aren't the decrypted versions much better?"

This specific collection aims to prioritize the preservation of these files, since the original versions by Zelgadis were lost due to the vast amount of unofficial builds, or are very difficult to find in a quick search.

Quick Notes & Gameplay Warnings

KOFM DEMO (Original Encrypted)

• Does not have the updated audio plugins that I took from version ''2.4.0''.
• The selectable version of Krizalid is missing its ''.act'' files, so the game will crash. However, the BOSS version works perfectly, making the DEMO beatable. Just to be safe, don't select this character!

KOFM LV1 SP 1.6.2 (Original Encrypted)

• Requires a password to unlock IORI-98. Due to M.U.G.E.N limitations, I believe the author couldn't find a way to implement character unlock mechanics like in conventional fighting games.
• The unlock code is displayed when you beat the game, or you can just look it up on the internet

KOFM LV2 5.0 (Original Encrypted)

• Compatibility: This is an executable installer. It might face issues running on modern systems like Windows 10 and 11.
   
• Authenticity: Despite compatibility hurdles, this is the most accurate version available, officially released by Zelgadis.
   
• The ''Mega Collection'' Issue: The version available in the Mega Collection is of somewhat questionable origin, and the ''select.def'' file has been edited to make the bosses playable, which is not possible in the original. The characters and stages were taken from a decrypted version of unknown origin; the only thing that could actually be decrypted from the official game was the screenpack (I don't know any methods to decrypt the .dat files that contain the characters).
   
• The unlock code is displayed when you beat the game, or you can just look it up on the internet.

  The "old footage" folder has been updated

• The test videos and trailers for KOFM Lv2 have been saved. As of this post, they are still available on the "kof memorial team games" YouTube channel, but if the videos get taken down like the KOF Memorial Lv1 beta trailer, at least they won't become lost media.
   

• The KOF Memorial Lv1 beta had 3 trailers recorded on the old Zelgadis forum. One of them was posted on YouTube. I downloaded it and added it to the mega collection, but it is currently no longer on YouTube. However, the other 2 are lost because they were uploaded to Rapidshare at the time.
   
• As for the records of version 6.0, I didn't think it was important to save them for now. As of the date of this post, version 6.0 is still in development and hasn't been released yet.

 Honoring the Original Work

• As mentioned before, this pack aims to prioritize preservation. These listed bugs and quirks are normal given how old this classic fangame is. Zelgadis preferred to release this project encrypted for obvious reasons, and keeping it that way respects the history of the M.U.G.E.N community. Enjoy this trip down memory lane and help keep the scene alive!
