- The Full Roster: Every commercially released game by SNK, from Fatal Fury: King of Fighters (1991) to the late-era masterpieces like Garou: Mark of the Wolves and The Last Blade 2.
- The "Chaff": Most archives include prototypes, bootlegs, and "hacks" (e.g., Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon 2003, which is a pirated hack of King of Fighters). These are historically interesting but rarely fun to play.
- MAME Compatibility: The files are almost always formatted for MAME (Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator). This means they are raw dumps of the arcade boards, not console ports.
