Just bought a Neo Geo X and have some questions

[mortalporcupine]

Hi all, I just bought a Neo Geo X and have some questions. If anyone could help me that would be great.

 

1. I plan on jailbreaking in the future so should I stay on firmware 337/370?

2. I have read that you can not save games on the original 337/370 firmware until you update to 500/500a. Is this true?

3. Can someone list all the tools I need to buy in order to be able to jailbreak my Neo Geo X?



I think thats about all I need to know, but if anyone has any other useful information to share please feel free to give me bonus info! 


Thanks everyone

1) You need to upgrade to 500/500a first using the mega game pack and rocket cable.

2)Yes, this was included as part of the upgrade.

3) NGX tools (can be ordered from Play Asia for cUSD30) and the software/firmware that was histrocially on the jailbreak facebook page. You will also need a 1gb micro sd card for the firmware and an 8gb micro sd card for your roms.

Good luck - I strongly recommend you read the thread detailing how to upgrade.

and if you don´t want to buy a SD-Card Adapter it´s very easy to build one by youreself

I actually recommend NOT Jailbreaking as it negatively affects the Neo-Geo emulation. You can use a ProCard on firmware 337/370 to play almost any Neo-Geo game without jailbreaking.

Well firstly thanks for your help everyone.

So if I just buy a procard 2 I can play Neo Geo games without the need to jailbreak? So i just need to buy a procard 2 and thats it?
That sounds good but the ability to not save my game sounds terrible.

I would have much preferred Tommo to release actual catridges to buy on proper hardware instead of this SD card rubbish. I would have quite gladly supported them and paid money for actual games. Oh well, their bad

Not being able to save sucks!
