1st mistake: buying the neogeox amazon holiday bundle with mega pack vol1, not realizing it can't be played on firmware v337/v370, which i need to play sdcard roms --- HOWEVER...my ngx came from amazon pre-updated to v500a firmware, so even though i can't play sdcard roms (yet), at least i'm enjoying the mega pack.
2nd mistake: buying a modded ngx adapter, before realizing my amazon ngx would arrive with v500a firmware, on which a modded adapter would not work, right? --- HOWEVER...i'm confident that the adapter can still play a role in my ultimate goal, which is to get a small particular few games on an sdcard that works in the ngx. not 50 games, not a huge jailbreak of various systems' emulators...just a handful of top neogeo picks.
so...tell me if i understand this correctly.
i have: > 3 microsdcards (512mb, 1gb, 4gb) > 1 modded ngx adapter > 1 regular sdcard adapter > 1 rocket cable (came with mega pack)
QUESTION 1: all i need now is a special firmware (v345) to enable my sdcard, right? one to overwrite the restrictions of v500a. QUESTION 2: do i need to purchase this firmware, or is it available online for download? (it probably doesn't work like that).
with what i already have, obviously i only want to buy what i need.
QUESTION 3: if i've followed the typical instructions on how to add roms to an sdcard, as if i had v337/v370 firmware...the only difference at the end for the special v345 firmware is to change the extension right? change from .fba to either .mvs or .aes, correct?
seeking expert help, malcolmNGX

Hi Malcolm,
Welcome to the forum.
Firstly you need to download the jailbreak firmware and burn it it to your 1gb microsd card.
Then using hack card flash the firmware in ngx and your good to go.
Il try to find you fw link or I can upload it. Hang fire.

bigups Legacy! thanks for your help.
if you do have a link, that's awesome, as i haven't found anything online.
also, when you say "flash the firmware", you're talking about inserting the card>holding down start>plugging in rocket cable, right?

You need to burn the firmware image to sdcard then upgrade your system with the rocket cable and hack etc.

Guys, where do I even get the ngx tool? I got the system Friday and jailbreaking it would save it from death. I cannot find one anywhere. In fact I was surprised to find recent talk of this at all. Any help would be greatfully received. Thanks.
