The SNK fighter's "hidden music & other goodies" thread

I don’t know why I waited so long to post this thread…

A while back, I was playing some KOF '98(?) when a song played that I had never heard before. I know that under certain circumstances you do get unique music (for example, a remake of Arashi No Saxaphone during a Kyo/Iori fight), but how would I go about getting access to those ‘obscure’ songs? Is there a test menu or a soundtrack CD that has all of the songs?

I had the same thing happen to me when I was playing KOF 2000(?). A new song was playing during a match between my character and Vanessa(?). As you can tell, the details are very sketchy considering I have let too many months (or years) go by before I made this thread.

Somebody tell me that I’m not going crazy. Surely someone else has heard ‘new’ songs in these old KOF games. (It seems SNK games are notorious for containing little-known easter eggs.)

Help a brotha out…

EDIT: it appears that my question has been answered. Thanx 2 all 4 your help. I just renamed the thread to reflect the other hidden things that are in many of the SNK fighters. It would also be nice if you could include how to access these in-game easter eggs.

best 98 song is team yuri mai king

Tell me what version of thw game you have? In most of the NeoGeo games you can access the Bios menu and go the jukebox to test/listen to the music…

Well… I’m a little embarassed to admit that I have it for MAME, if that helps.

Hmmm I’ll check into that for you man…you should be able to get into the BIOS menu and listen to the Jukebox player…has every song/tidbit in game and its done via I believe pressing all four buttons at the beginning…

I dont have it in front of me so I could be wrong right now.

All in it:

Edit:

Forgot to mention Iori’s team has 3 BGM in 98:
95 BGM: 203 arashi no saxophone
96 BGM: 123 arashi no saxophone 2
97 BGM: 129 cool jam

Forgot all about that site.

I checked out the soundtrack for KOF 2000 as well. There were 2 tracks that I haven’t heard in-game before:[LIST]
[]Good-Bye Esaka
[
]Stormy Scream
[/LIST]Do these belong to Kyo and Iori, respectively?

Yes, they are!
