I have to agree, AOF is dogshit imo. AOF3 is a whole different matter though, that game is addictive, playable and FUN!

His explanation of the "zero out" process is inaccurate. The remnant or slack data is there I'm sure, that's just not how the process works.
I'll download and play around with the image to see what can be recovered.

This is seriously cool. If these sorts of discoveries of random unexpected plaintext code in games is cool to you, you should check out http://tcrf.net if you haven't already.

This is a great discovery. Is it possible to get source code for any Neo Geo game by disassembling it? The code is there in binary form, and it must always be stored in the same place more or less. It wouldn't be all nice and commented but could you still get the program?

You can get assembly code from it, just not source code. Macros and stuff that is present in the original source may not be there.
