Open Beats of Rage

Beats of Rage (OpenBOR) is a fan-made tribute game to Sega's Streets of Rage series. It supplants the original graphics and characters with resources taken from The King of Fighters series, albeit with tongue in cheek renames. Originally developed by Senile Team, the underlying engine powering Beats of Rage later went on to become the Open Beats of Rage (OpenBOR) game engine project.

This system scrapes metadata for the “openbor” group and loads the openbor set from the currently selected theme, if available.

OpenBOR games are usually non-commercial games made by fans.

However, some of them are ripping sprites and sounds from other games, which actually are under copyrights.

As for any other type of ROM, Google and search engines are the best way to find PAKs for OpenBOR.
