The only way PMA is to either get a 500a mega pack update card, or using the jailbreak. This uses 500a firmware already. Im think some classic packs had 500a updates.


neogenesis, i know what your saying about the experience on neo x. Like they say you will never enjoy metal slug unless your using the neo arcade stick as these games where built for it.

There is still a lot of love for the Neo X about good times.

Does 500a update anything else other than fixing the AV output?

From my understanding only the TV output was fixed for PAL/NTSC users on composite out on 500a firmware. There could be some small tweaks.

I'll be running the dock/ngx into my CRT tv via a scart switch. Interested to see how it looks tbh.

To be honest, your screen will be out of alignment when you use this method, if you have 500 firmware, and will look busted on ntsc too.

500a and jailbreak will fix this.

What are the drawbacks of jailbreak?

Nothing to lose. The best move you can make. You can always roll back to 500, if you have a megapack card. I have not looked back.

Thanks for all your help legacy. See below

At the moment, I don't have a soldering iron so I had to improvise by twisting the existing Neo battery wires inside the handheld onto the the PS3 controller battery wires, and wrapping them in Blu-tac to keep the isolated. Works! Will have to try it in the dock etc tonight hopefully. So far so good though, happy!

PMA, I have never looked back either.

I have been playing a lot of King of Fighters 94 - when I first got into the series it was already version98 so it is really nice to see where it all started.

Jailbreaking will give you access to so many more wonderful, innovative and colourful games so go for it!

None other than it voids your warranty i should imagine mate.It's awesome i have just today modded it with a 32gb kingston sd card,and the extra memory space seems to make a gain to the overall performance,even though it's a simple cheap £15 class 4 sdhc card.

Not really. If your unit is still in warranty and you need to use it, you can always roll the firmware back to the official v500/500a firmware before sending to em. Opening the unit, on the other hand, that's a warranty void, right there.
