I have already asked before and tried to read them with the programmer but they are protected, even so I have all the Killer Instinct 1 PLDs from two motherboards that were disassembled, if there is, you want to try to extract the protected internal information with some methods such as decapsulation. You can send me a PM and I will gladly donate them to carry out said action and upload the information. Unfortunately, I do not have the monetary income to carry out this procedure.

It is difficult for someone to want to do the work for free, since I have seen that it is a process that takes a long time.

Just to say, to get this working the other way round (ki off a ki2 board) would be fantastic 
I am going to post the multi pcb details in case anyone wants to try it out
Gerber files have been attached
Here is the list of parts needed
Let me know any feedback

I will ABSOLUTELY get on this.
one quick q... where did you get It printed? OSH park is saying $188 for three PCBs, whereas seeedstudio is saying $53 for 10. I'd be willing to bulid a bunch if people asked me to do so... but getting 10 for myself isn't the greatest.

Try jlcpcb.com - i have found them to be less expensive at times.
Yes. 13-14€ for 5 pcb

This is 100% accurate. and awesome.
I've got 5 coming to me, printed in black. I'd be willing to assemble the remaining 4 and pass them on to others who want some

there is some new things (at least for me) i found about KI drive images:
Since its a raw dump from a real drive, we have the entire data from, but game is smaller than raw image is.
KI1:
125mb image (taken from 128mb drive?)
LAST HEX OFFSET: 0x7D011FF
LAST SECTOR: 256.009
real data ends at
HEX OFFSET: 0x7CF5FFF
SECTOR: 255.920
that is not very surprising at all, game data still being 125mb
KI2:
436mb image file
LAST HEX OFFSET : 0x1B4789FF
LAST SECTOR: 893.892
real data ends at:
LAST HEX OFFSET: C7465FF
LAST SECTOR: 408.114
yeah. thats a lot of difference.
KI2 image will be trimmed from 436mb to 199mb (TESTED AND WORKING. EVERYTHING WORKS OK)
it means, we can write both images into a cheap 512mb DOM.
JUST A IDEA:
i already done a drive with both images on it (copy /b newki1 +newki2 dual.img)
KI1 works well, it means that KI2 added data doesnt make sorta conflicts on the system.
since KI1 data is at the beginning of the drive , the game works great.
is this possible to modify KI2 program data and move all sector calls to the new offset? so we can enjoy one drive only and this would be awesome as hell.

hell yeah, you rock. awesome idea
just as question:
there is possible to use SMD roms such as 26L6420 in a future? that is low cosumption and can handle a lot of data in less space... and TBH, 27c801 turns very expensive worldwide by unknown reason.

This would require some editing of the program roms for KI2 for this project.. I'm really not skilled in this at all, but I'm almost certain that it could be done by the right person. Being able to have them on a single CF card and not have to spread cables and custom adapters everywhere would be helpful.
so do I. I will have 5 (in green). If someone want one (in Europe), PM me.This is 100% accurate. and awesome.
