Update: After a second inspect, I noticed that I actually messed it up and tested the wrong rom file. The actual result I got in my Mister was the same as with Mame, i.e. bad sprites... I'm sorry about the confusion 😞 Back to square 0...

It looks like Steam's "King of Fighters 97 Global Match" is pretty close to KOF97 Mame rom. Comparing the files from these versions, here is what I was able to find (
[Steam game directory]\Data\romvskof97.zip):s2.bin
c1.binseems to contain the sprite rom data, "equivalent" to.c1to.c6onkof97.zip, since they all add up to exactly 40MB, but they are not equal and the CRCs don't match 😞By splitting
c1.binin 6 parts (4x 8MB + 2x 4MB) and zipping all files from the Steam version together - and properly renamed - I managed to boot the rom in RetroArch's Mame. The problem is, most of the sprites are displayed incorrectly:Screenshots
 Again, it seems like the only missing piece is figuring out how to fix the sprite rom data in
c1.bin.
