If you read further on you will also find out that there are several other emulators already loaded on the system.  Also, different games have been successfully loaded to the onboard SD card and the Neo-Geo bios has been successfully changed.  That did not take long......

But it's weird how different emulators were already found in the device. What is the purpose besides them possibly taking a nod to the homebrew community to find?

That seems to be the only reason, IMHO. To show that we are all "kindred spirits"...

microsoft included an MP3 codec for years so you wouldnt be prompted for a codec, yet the codec was partly disabled, to push WMA

I wonder if they were planning software upgrades in the future, like pay a few bucks to unlock NES use, or whatever. Either that, or perhaps they want a line of handhelds with the same basic design, but one for Neo Geo, one for Turbobs, one for Genesis, etc.

I really would like to know Tommo's reaction to the hacking. Some may support it, some may not. I remember when the licensed Genesis clones with SD slots on them were released the company didn't give a shit if you pirated roms since you had bought the hardware already.

I very much enjoyed blazing star

[SMF]

This is great news. Can't wait to get my hands on some new games. Wonder what the travel case will look like?

Given that playing bootleg ROMs on the thing is now a trifle, the firmware update is what I'm really interested in. Regardless, I'm buying all of these.

I got one of these systems last week and I love the thing. The haters can go f*ck themselves, especially the "I can do this on PSP" idiots.

no shortage of stock anywhere. I may attempt to get one again if this next volume crystallizes

I love my Neo Geo X and these guys got me by the balls...  I look forward to purchasing everything listed in that link.

Most of the ones that bitch are the ones who don't even own it. I love this thing! Bring it to work with me and play it everyday at lunch break. Lost track of how many times I've completed Cyber-Lip. My only real gripe is with the wonkiness of the AES style stick and the damn rubber feet that fell off my dock and stick. Can no longer find half of them. Damn cat probably ate them!

I'm planning on grabbing up all the game cards and the travel case as well. It's just unfortunate we have to wait until the first card is released for an update to the system. I want save support dammit!

A nice case and manual for the game cards would be a major bonus, but I'm not holding my breath on that.

The neogeox gets more play time than the psvita.  The buttons on vita are just too small and the layouts are awkard.  My fingers cramp out only after playing a few minutes on it.  I'm thinking about putting my vita on ebay.

Interesting... Nice to see so much support for this device!  My main hesitation on getting one is the TV hookups.  I've heard it looks like shit when hooked up to a TV.  I'm expecting my TurboExpress back sometime in the near future with a 3.5" screen so I have a feeling most of my handheld time will be spent on that for the foreseeable future.  I wouldn't get one of these Neo Geo Xs to be a mobile device - it would primarily be hooked up to a TV.  Has TV output improved at all since it's been released?
