Before we talk about KOF, we must understand the emulator. Mame4droid is a port of the Windows-based MAME (Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator) to the Android operating system. Version 0.139u1 (also referred to in some circles as the "1.39u1" build) holds a special place in the community.

MAME4droid 0.139u1 is an Android port of MAME (Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator) based on MAME 0.139u1. It emulates classic arcade hardware and runs ROM sets compatible with that MAME version. “KOF” refers to The King of Fighters arcade series (SNK), which includes many titles across different hardware platforms (Neo Geo, CPS, etc.). Getting KOF games to run under MAME4droid requires the correct ROM set matching MAME 0.139u1 and any required BIOS or CHD files.

The King of Fighters series runs on the Neo Geo hardware. You cannot load the games without the system files. Mame4droid 0.139u1 Roms Kof

MAME4droid requires files to be in a specific folder on your Android device's internal storage or SD card.

For KOF specifically, the 0.139u1 set includes all the necessary parent ROMs and BIOS files (specifically neogeo.zip) without the bloat of later CHD files (Compressed Hunks of Data) which are not supported well on mobile.
