New here, just a few questions

Hey all. I just ordered me a Neo Geo X with the Mega Pack. I'm looking forward to playing it, but also getting an Ultracard soon. I was wondering if I could get some answers from some people on general questions I have. 1). Since it seems that official support for the NGX is ending, will anyone be attempting to make some homebrew firmware updates? 2). Can the HDMI output be fixed so that the system outputs at 720p via such a firmware update? 3). What general emulation settings can be changed/modified using the Ultracard? Can I mess with Vsync, button mapping, etc? Last but not least, 4). Can the screen be upgraded in any way for a not outrageous price?

Thanks so much. I have enjoyed lurking the forum and reading about the NGX, and I'm happy that I have decided to order one.

Hey!

Welcome! I can't answer all of these, but I can provide some insights based on experience with this great little system.

2). I don't believe it can be fixed at 720p. It does self-adjust resolution based on the emulator running though.

3). As far as I know, the only setting that can be adjusted are those intrinsic with Unibios 3.0 in Neo Geo games, ie hitting ABCD during the bios boot up screen to allow formatting memory card, username etc, ABC to change region, AES/MVS modes, and ABC+Start to change cheats, etc.

Button mapping only seems available in games that allow it in the respective options menu.

I hope that helps, but maybe more knowledgeable members can chime in as well as those would be great points to know.
