This patch by chinese hacker YZB allows the use of the 4MB RAM cart for the King of Fighter 95.
With this, you no longer need its proprietary ROM cart to play.
An alpha version has been released for testing:​

Sega Saturn KOF95 RAM accelerator card Hack version by yzb

– This version is modified on the basis of the Japanese version, if you want to run on a non-Japanese version of the host, please make up π to patch the mirror area code

– This version requires a 32Mbit (4MByte) expansion accelerator card to run (simulator please put ππ into the settings to select the expansion cassette, the host please insert the expansion accelerator card), if not set or not inserted, the Sega authorization logo after startup Afterwards, there will be an error prompt interface

*Note that this version currently does not support the original 32Mbit (4MByte) expansion accelerator card. Do not use the original 32Mbit (4MByte) expansion accelerator card when playing with the host machine

– The source image before modification is consistent with the following data Verification: http://redump.org/disc/29160/ ## King of Fighters ’95, The (Japan) (3M)

– The distribution image uses Clone CD format. If you need to use software other than Clone CD, please write Select the file with the suffix CUE directly in the burning software. If you need to use virtual hardware for optical drives like Rhea/Phoebe, you don’t need to convert the format.

### Modification instructions: * No need to use official ROM cassette, use 4MB RAM card
– The first NOW LOADING screen will be filled with 2MB RAM card content, so the waiting time is longer, about 7 seconds with SD card optical drive board
– The boss can be used directly

Clonecd is still in use? I mean I always liked it more than most of the others but still...

Anyway good to see such limitations falling, and if that is anything to go by with no real downsides (though I don't suppose there would be for this one if it is just presumably flinging static data into RAM which is presumably also running as fast as is necessary).

For those not so familiar with the expansion carts of the Saturn then the following is a reasonable overview and some examples of games
