Info from [MAME's source]

Security chip found connected to the P ROMs in The King of Fighters '99 - Millennium Battle (not all sets), The King of Fighters 2000 (not all sets), Metal Slug 3 (not all sets) and in Garou - Mark of the Wolves (all sets) cartridges. Bankswitches the second megabyte ($200000~$2FFFFF) of P ROM space and provides a 16bit pseudo-random number generator.

Upon system reset, the PRN is initialized to $2345.

The chip always (?) replies $9A37 on reads.

The stamp marking suggests that it is a programmable chip (OTP ?).

Pinout


Edit this pinout

Pin list by User:hpman.

PRNG

16bit LSFR with taps at bits 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 11, 12, 15. Each read steps the register.

Bankswitching

Bankswitching is done by unscrambling the written bank number and using a 64 entry (256 bytes) lookup table to map the P ROM into $200000~$2FFFFF.

KOF 99

  • Bankswitching write at $2FFFF1
  • Read chip presence at $2FE447
  • PRN at $2FFFF8 and $2FFFFA
