All new megapacks should have the new 500a upgrade. I sent my original 500 firmware card back and exchanged it for 500a upgrade with a new rocket cable. The 500a upgrade fixes the alignment issue, where the credits were chopped on screen and blurryness on PAL composite out. Im loving the update. I still cant notice much tearing. Also you cannot downgrade the firmware to 500, i tried this and the system states it had the latest update, very clever.

That's cool. I wonder if it updates from v500 to v500a since I'm planning to get one of the Classics Volumes first which I'm guessing would have v500, then eventually I'll be getting the Mega Pack.

Any way to check if my mega pack is the 500a without doing the update? I only ask because I bought my Neo Geo X used with the 500 firmware originally installed. I just bought a used Mega Pack but am not sure about firmware on that one.
Thanks, =) I am loving this system. I even did a big video or two on it on my channel.

Thanks CruJones, and I assume if it's the same firmware it just won't update right?

You should do some random gameplay with the Mega Pack next time too.

Cool. I didn't know you already uploaded one. hehe. By the way, do you use the HDMI cable to connect to your TV?.....Oh wait, you do. I just realized that "HDMI" comes up on your TV screen when you load up the games.

Yeah it's awesome, but the last boss is RIDICULOUS! By the way, my mega pack was only 500 so it just re-installed the same software =)

I'm not sure if this is right or not but if you contact Tommo (for USA) about you only having the 500 update,shouldn't they be able to exchange it for the 500a version with new rocket cable? ?not sure who you contact in UK,I think it might be Blaze or maybe FunStock.
