Is there a definitive list of Korean versions that have substantive differences (ie. unique ROM sets)?
Some Korean games are identical other than the labels and packaging materials. I think it would be useful to have a reference so people could know which games are changed or censored and which ones are functionally identical.
Known Korean label variants:
Breakers
Fight Fever
King of Fighters '96
King of Fighters '97
King of Fighters '98
Last Blade (Last Soldier)
Last Blade 2 (Last Soldier 2)
Ninja Masters
Real Bout Fatal Fury Special
Real Bout Fatal Fury 2
Samurai Shodown 2 (Saulabi Spirits)
Samurai Shodown 3 (Fighters Swords)
Samurai Shodown 4 (Legend of a Warrior)
Shock Troopers
Stakes Winner
Waku Waku 7
Possible/Unsure:
King of Fighters '99
King of Fighters 2001
King of Fighters 2002
Money Puzzle Exchanger
Stakes Winner 2
Confirmed games with unique Korean-only ROMs:
Samurai Shodown 2 (Saulabi Spirits) - no intro music/sound, white blood (can turn on red in Unibios), different title screen, etc
Samurai Spirits 3 (Fighters Swords) - title screen
Samurai Shodown 4 (Legend of a Warrior) - title screen, white blood, no intro, missing voice samples, etc
Last Blade (Last Soldier) - title screen
Last Blade 2 (Last Soldier 2) - title screen, no blood, no start up demo, missing voice samples
Real Bout Fatal Fury Special - White blood, missing voice samples
Metal Slug 4 was manufactured in Korea but does not have a separate Korean version.
I have a Korean King of Fighters 2002 kit but it appears to be the standard US cart.
Please add or correct any games you own or know to exist.
