NeoGeo Sound Drivers

 

Looking at the Z80 rom (*_m1.rom or *.4f8), i realize some roms look really similar.....
I first thought a rom can be exchanged with another BUT there is minimum difference between each.
I think it something like a #define which change in each game.
Look at the AF sound driver, it's always the same byte which change so.....

(1) the AeroFighter sound driver seems to be always the same with an alteration of some bytes...perhaps a define like i said

(2) all the MetalSlug seems to use the same base version ( a MetalSlug sound driver)

(3) all the OS are made by MC (ie M.Chiba) from ADK

(4) this driver is the only i found of 256k.....

(5) i don't why but, unlike KOF98 and Mark of the Wolves, it's only 128K.....i don't know if it's because bad dump

(6) Why CDDA? i think this driver is made to make the port to NeoGeo CD easy...note it's the latest versions of OS by MC

(7) Why Windows ? ? !
