Wow, not exactly the news I expected to read this morning. Well, I'm still happy I own one, because now you just KNOW prices on em are just gonna go up, and I like owning obscure collectibles, which this will now very likely become. I'm even happier that I chose not to carry out the update on mine, still leaving it nice and flexible for games. While this news is disappointing, it's not totally unexpected I guess. I do agree with you that I'm still happy that I own a NGX. I'm gonna get a Mega Pack and an extra arcade stick before people start overpricing them online. You should move fast if that's what you want to do, as you know the statement form SNK states unsold stock must be removed from sale, I would have thought you don't have much more than a week to grab them from Amazon or Funstock, or it'll be eBay for god know how much. I'm not going to bother myself as like Danthor I'm still running a hacked sd card system so I defininatly won't be updating now! My main concern will be improving the output from my X, god knows how I'm going to do that? Thinking about trying a xrgb mini , which will be great for other retro consoles too. I'll say again, I really hope the home brew people and hackers get back to work on the X now they don't have to play tit for tat with Tommo. As an aside I hope all you guys are going to stick around on the forums? Although it's probably going to be even more quite than it already is!! *tumbleweed*

I did order the Mega Pack for the regular price on eBay just this week, and I might order an arcade stick soon. So far, Amazon and Ebay still have them at normal prices. Anyway, perhaps someone will hack v500 soon and I'll be able to play my own set of games. If not, I'd still be content with my NGX and Mega Pack.

A hacked SD card is the best your gonna get for the Neo X. I took the risk and upgraded. Im going to buy another X and look forward to playing SVC chaos. I have been very happy with mine inpspite of the bad press. £100 for a neo gold pack, not bad. Some bargains to be had.

Hopefully I'll be able to do that with v500 soon. I saw in a video that you're able to put 50 games in a hacked SD card. Cool. That's like a Super Mega Pack. hehe.

Its gonna be great to use my Hacked SD card on all the games. Im looking forward to playing metal slug 5 again and breakers revenge on my x I've been rocking a lot of Breakers Revenge on my X recently, matter of fact! Kinda shocked how much I've fell for it. Considering picking up the cart for my collection. Who do you use?

Despite the fact that the NGX is no longer supported I really hope this forum stays open as I've really enjoyed the banter and conversations with all you guys.as soon as my Dingoo a330 comes I'm going to find a decent ROM site to download neo geo roms,anyone know of any? I don't see why it should close. I to, enjoy the banter!

Kinda weird that NGF is backing Tommo...at least somebody is. I really want to hear from Tommo on this matter.

Welcome to teh drama, as 'real' neo geo owners say. The NGX is certainly entertaining, in more ways than one.

Well, all is not lost. I reckon someone will now hack the 500 Firmware and offer a solution for the SD card hack. This has to happen and the beauty is you will have 36 genuine games and the rest on a sd card hack.
I sure hope in court Tommo are granted to finish the project and release all the games, it could happen, but unlikely, also lets hope the judge has a neo x and is looking forward to playing prehistoric isle 2.
