Hello fellow OST listeners!

I have recently been overcome with joy over listening to the Fatal Fury/King Of Fighters character Wolfgang Krauser's themes (Both are renditions of Dies Irae and Lacrimosa from Mozart's Requiem).
Wolfgang looks a little bit like this:

There, now I have your attention...

I am using the wide resources of GH to find every different rendition of his themes on as many different consoles as possible.

Current list of known versions...

1. Fatal Fury 2 SNES

2. Fatal Fury 2 Genesis / Mega Drive

3. Fatal Fury Special (SNES)

4. Fatal Fury Special Neo-Geo(?)

5. Fatal Fury Special Image Album,
King of Fighters '96 AST,

(Same version used for all, I think)

6. Fatal Fury Real Bout 2 ~ The Newcomers Original Soundtrack (Neo-Geo?)

7. Fatal Fury Real Bout Special (Saturn)

8. Fatal Fury Real Bout Special (Game Boy)

I know youtube is a crappy outlet for music, but it's not TOO bad on High Quality.
He isn't in Fatal Fury Special (Game Gear), and I couldn't find any ROMs for the japanese only Fatal Fury 2 (Game Boy).

So basically my questions to you lot are:
1. Am I missing any? Other than the Game Gear and Game Boy versions (of which I am unable to locate at this point) I think I have what I can access at the minute.
2. Have I labelled them correctly? There are lots of soundtracks for these games, some rips and some OSTs and owning none of them I am bound to have made a mistake or two.
3. Is there any difference between Neo-Geo (CD or otherwise) and Sega-CD soundtracks? Same goes for Neo-Geo and Neo-Geo CD now that I think about it.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Now talking about his music, once again if i am not wrong you can find his track on the following CDS:

Fatal Fury 2 original soundtrack, fatal fury special original soundtrack, fatal fury special image album 1, KoF 96 original soundtrack, KoF 96 Arrange soundtrack, real bout fatal fury special original soundtrack, real bout fatal fury 2 original soundtrack, fatal fury 15th anniversary box (2 tracks), KoF 10th Anniversary Memorial Box, SNK vs. Capcom Choujou Kessen Saikyou Fighters (Match Of The Millennium) original soundtrack, SNK Playmore Pachislot Sound Collection Best Hit Slot Panic Vol.2 (disc 1, track 03) , KoF 98 Ultimate Match original soundtrack.

(i don't want to listen to everything to tell you if they are all different or not at the moment..)

2: correctly labelled yes.

3: if i am right, there is a slighty difference between Neo Geo (AES/MVS) sound & Neo Geo CD sound.
I can't say if there's a difference from other CD format as i never played them.

knighTeen87 could answer that easily i think.
(or just do a jump to neo-geo.com forums, i guess everyone there have more knowledge than me regarding differences for all versions)


If i forgot anything, correct me.


EDIT: i uploaded every krauser music you can find "on official albums". (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=0L258E2J)
Sorry to not have labelled them better, but i don't have so much time in my hands.
