THE KING OF FIGHTERS 2002

Yes, everybody, this is a terrible PC port, but it comes with the ROM!!!! Finally! A legal way to play SNK games on my Android phone without worrying about viruses. Thank you GOG.com

This is a crappy emulation version. Keyboard is locked to up-down-left-right-zxas-space-enter Speed is incorrect since modern PC is to fast to run emulator, and we have no way to modify ini files to reduce the game speed (typically 2x speed or 2.5x speed, which renders unplayable) I'd rather run the rom with a MAME emulator which you can define your own key layout and change the emulation speed back to normal arcade 12MHz either stick with MAME version or steam version, skip this one.

King of Fighters 2002 is one of my favourite entries in the series so I was keen to play this on GOG. However, you cannot change the controls in this version of the game, making it almost impossible to pull off special moves. On top of that, although the store page says that it supports a controller, the game doesn't pick up my Xbox controller at all. This is such a disgrace and shame to this fantastic 2D fighter. I honestly expected better than this.

Ridiculous controls, you can't change nothing, for free is expensive.

As another user has stated on the RealBout2 page, you can actually use a controller and some other changes by doing the following: 1) if the game runs too fast - force "Vsync" in your graphics card options. 2) all of the Dot.Emu ports HAVE 2P MODE - that's right, but you need at least one xinput gamepad, if you have older gamepads you can use the xbox controller emulator called "x360ce" . If you have 2 xinput controllers even better, both work. Then 1P enters the "coins" and 2P presses the "start" button and voila - you can play multiplayer. 3) maybe most importantly is the ability to enable the CONSOLE mode of the NeoGeo games. Console mode lets you play extra modes like training, survival etc, change various settings and in some games, you can even customize your buttons. Find the file "neogeo.dat" and open it with notepad. Under the first entry System: NEO, RomName: neogeo, Game: Neo Geo BIOS - replace the [Program] line: uni-bios_2_0.rom,0,20000,0C12C2AD,0 This will enable the unibios and when you launch the game it will ask you to press "A" (which is "Y" or "Z" on your keyboard)(also it may not work the first time, just go to the emulator menu and click "Reset" and try again) and let you select between arcade or console mode. Then during the game, you can press the combination of "Start" and "Coin" (Enter and Space) to open the cheats menu or B+C+D (X+C+A, or X+C+V on keyboard) to open the "test service" if you use the arcade version of the game with extra options. Bear in mind you will have to do this every time you open the game and the 1P will always have to use the keyboard and 2P will use the gamepad if you have one, UNLESS you save state using the emulator in the main console menu for example, exit the game and the emulator and then when starting the game instead clicking on "Launch" click on " Load" and now 1P will use the gamepad. When you edit your "neogeo.dat" file once you can just copy it to all other SNK ports here.
