Why would you "hack" mame? Its source is freely available. Not to mention there are a handful of other NeoGeo emulators that can play those hacks. But I agree, why bother? The last KoF I enjoyed was 99/Evo. What would have been nice is if they'd have changed to better hardware to make games of Evo's quality in the arcade.
