Hello!
In 2007 SNK released a PS2 game called "The King of Fighters: NESTS-hen", which contained a compilation of the NESTS games KOF'99, KOF2000 and KOF2001. This port included both the NeoGeo AES versions of the games, and the Dreamcast versions as well. This compilation is part of another compilation called "NeoGeo Online Collection", consisting of 12 titles, ports of NeoGeo games, that are finally as close as possible to their arcade counterparts(well, most of them).
Unfortunately there is a little problem about KOF Nests, and that's the fact that unlike the previous compilations, you don't have settings for the NeoGeo version anymore. In previous compilations, we had features such as button mapping, color edit, and were even able to choose between original and arrange soundtrack. However this time, all settings in the main menu affect only the Dreamcast ports for some reason, and even button mapping from the NeoGeo games has been removed from the AES settings inside the games...
Now, here is the question. Sometimes when games are re-released, they carry changes, that sometimes are important. As far as I know, at least one of the SNK games on PS2 went through this, it was KOF2003 that had a glitch that freezes the game, and it was fixed when it was re-released as a "SNK The Best" 2 years later.
You probably know where I'm getting at. It is possible that changes have been made to the "SNK The Best" version of KOF Nests(ID:SLPS-25865) released 1 year later in 2008(05/29/08), but since I don't have this version I can't confirm. If anyone here has a copy of KOF NESTS (SNK The Best), can you please confirm if at the very least button mapping affects the NeoGeo games? Default settings are Square:LP, Cross:LK, Triangle:HP, Circle:HK, so try to do something such as mapping HK to R1 and see if it works in NeoGeo mode.

TL;DR
I want to know if the re-release for The King of Fighters Nests-hen, titled "SNK The Best", ID: SLPS-25865, released 05/29/08, allows players to use features from the main menu, such as button mapping, in NeoGeo mode. This compilation consists of AES and Dreamcast titles, but all settings from the main menu only affect the Dreamcast mode, which makes the player stuck with default settings in NeoGeo mode(and that's a problem because I use the original NeoGeo Arcade layout, but the default here is for a PS2 Controller).
If someone here has this game, can you please confirm?, also sorry about my poor English. ;_;
