_Auster_: Also this page list multiple other games that apparently can be played in ScummVM using the GOG version, but it's 100+ titles so it could be a bit overwhelming to test all of them at once:

Thank you!
I made it a link at first line of #1. :-)

Zombies Ate My Neighbours and Ghoul Patrol come with SNES ROMs, but extracting them requires a bit of work, according to this post:
https://steamcommunity.com/app/1137970/discussions/0/3046105389665628847/

Important parts of the post in case the original post can't be accessed:

Locations of ZAMN and GP's ROMs (Updated 08.18.2021)
The ROMs are located within the executable, "ZAMN_GP.exe", so the locations listed below are hexadecimal addresses. To get them, you'll need a hex editor that allows you to highlight and copy data chunks over to new files. I would recommend HxD (freeware: https://mh-nexus.de/en/hxd/ ), to complete this task.

Release build:

Steam version:
Zombies Ate My Neighbors: 1B0974C - 1C0974B
Ghoul Patrol: 19A03C0 - 1AA03BF

GOG version:
Zombies Ate My Neighbors: 1B0654C - 1C0654B
Ghoul Patrol: 199D1C0 - 1A9D1BF

1.1 Hotfix update: (Current version)

Steam version: (Thanks to Red Lettuce)
Zombies Ate My Neighbors: 1B0BD4C - 1C0BD3F
Ghoul Patrol: 19A29C0 - 1AA29BF

GOG version:
Zombies Ate My Neighbors: 1B0894C - 1C0894B
Ghoul Patrol: 199F5C0 - 1A9F5BF

The ROMs should be given the .sfc extension to maximize the number of compatible emulators. If copied over successfully, the ROMs will be 8Mb/1MB in size and be identical the verified good SNES NTSC-U dumps of both games. What this means is that they'll have the logos, licensing information, and even the secret level codes, left completely intact.
It should be possible to extract the game through command terminals such as CMD or Ubuntu's terminal, but I don't have the game to test.

If someone wants to try, just need to modify the commands from this repository to match that of the game, then do what the repository asks for each OS (adapting the steps, since it the method was made for another game):
https://github.com/sigboe/extractwings
The commands from the bat file are for Windows, and the commands in the Linux part are for Linux.
The skip values are where the ROMs start (e.g. 1B0894C for Zombies Ate My Neighbours), but converted to bytes.
The count values are where the ROMs end (e.g. 1C0894B for ZAMN), but also converted to bytes.

Arcadius-8606: Any word on the SNK 40th Anniversary Collection?

kbnrylaec: I will edit #1 later.

Forgive me for going a bit off-topic but, after reading this how-to I couldn't figure out how to use this script file under Windows. It has an .sh extension which means it is a Linux script and I couldn't find anywhere a tool that would use it. I tried quickbms but it wouldn't accept the script.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

One approach is to set up a linux-like environment and run the script from there. For example, you could use something like Cygwin or, if you're on Windows 10 or 11, WSL.

Another, harder, approach is to port the script over to a language that's natively available on Windows. It's a lot more work, but the work only needs to be done once, and then it can be posted online so that others can make use of it. (You'll need to check the license if you're going to redistribute it; in this case, it appears to be GPL3, which does allow the redistribution of modified versions.)

If you can use Python (I think Windows' DOS command prompt still allows it), you can try this script instead:
https://github.com/ValadAmoleo/sf30ac-extractor/tree/mame

If the important assets are identical in both the Amazon Prime release (where I tested) and the GOG release (which I don't own so I couldn't test), it should output working ROMs (and aso.zip, which is an incomplete arcade ROM, so it won't work, but creating this file seems to be the only mismatch with the other script).

I believe Python is not installed on Windows by default, but it should be easy enough to install it:

Thank you very much!
It indeed worked great, 51 games extracted (several games had multiple versions) and from what I tested, only ASO doesn't work (which we already knew).

Now to find how to extract the Metal Slug and King of Fighters games...

Getting back on-topic, the Disney Classic Games: Aladdin and The Lion King can be played in their respective emulators (Mega Drive, SNES and Game Boy). Mame is not required nor is it the optimal method.

All you have to do is extract the three files inside \Disney Classic Games Aladdin and the Lion King\Bundle\ using a generic extractor such as https://aluigi.altervista.org/quickbms.htm with an extraction script such as https://aluigi.altervista.org/bms/sf30_mbundle.bms and then locate and move/rename the files:
Aladdin.4F7A.PATCHED.bin - Aladdin (Genesis version)
Aladdin.9CB2.PATCHED.bin - Aladdin (Japanese Mega Drive version)
Aladdin.CES.PATCHED.bin - Aladdin (CES Demo of Genesis version)
Aladdin.gb - Aladdin (Game Boy version)
Aladdin-Remix.bin - Aladdin (Final Cut)

LionKing.0D3D.PATCHED.bin - The Lion King (Mega Drive/Genesis version)
LionKing.919A.PATCHED.sfc - The Lion King (Japanese Super Famicom version)
LionKing.DE6E.PATCHED.sfc The Lion King (SNES version)
LionKing.gb - The Lion King (Game Boy version)

Ok, dug just a bit deeper and I got some more info.

Valad's script that _Auster_ posted will extract *MOST* of the SNK 40th games: https://github.com/ValadAmoleo/sf30ac-extractor/tree/mame

Specifically it will extract the following:
- Ozma Wars (FB Neo)
- Sasuke vs. Commander (FB Neo)
- Fantasy (FB Neo)
- Vanguard (FB Neo)
- Munch Mobile (Joyful Road) (FB Neo)
- Alpha Mission (ASO: Armored Scrum Object) (FB Neo *CORRUPT ROM* + NES)
- TNK III (Tank) (NES)
- Athena (NES)
- Ikari Warriors (NES)
- Victory Road: Ikari Warriors II (Dogō Sōken) (NES)
- Guerrilla War (NES)
- Time Soldiers (Battle Field) (FB Neo)
- Chopper I (Koukuu Kihei Monogatari - The Legend of Air Cavalry) (FB Neo)
- P.O.W.: Prisoners of War (FB Neo + NES)
- Beast Busters (FB Neo)
- Ikari III: The Rescue (FB Neo + NES)
- Prehistoric Isle (Genshi-Tou 1930's) (FB Neo)
- SAR: Search and Rescue (FB Neo)
- Street Smart (FB Neo)
- Crystalis (NES)

However, there is a second set of scripts from lioneltrs that successfully extracts a few more ROMs: https://github.com/lioneltrs/buildROM

These scripts will extract the following:
- Marvin's Maze (FB Neo)
- Athena (FB Neo)
- Guerrilla War (FB Neo)
- Ikari Warriors (FB Neo)
- TNK III (Tank) (FB Neo)
- Paddle Mania (FB Neo)
- Victory Road: Ikari Warriors II (Dogō Sōken) (FB Neo)

plus, a *MOSTLY* working version of Alpha Mission (ASO: Armored Scrum Object) which fails on FB Neo but works under Mame2003!
Here the emulator will complain that the cocktail mode files are missing but will run the game fine.

Thus, the ONLY games still unaccounted for are Psycho Soldier, Bermuda Triangle and its' derivative, World Wars.

All arcade games were successfully loaded in Final Burn Neo unless otherwise stated.
