My Neo Geo X Gold arrived today.
Did anyone else get one? I'm really interesting in the hacking potential of this system.
It's a nice package. The joystick replicates the original Neo Geo AES perfectly except it has a USB plug. I've already tested and it works on the PC too. The strange part is, a total of 13 digital buttons are detected but there are only 6 on the joystick. It makes me wonder what type of gamepad encoder they're using.
The game card is a standard SD card. Ninja Masters is using a 64MB card. I found it odd but it even includes a yellow lock switch. They should have molded a permanent "switch" directly into the shell so it can't be overwritten by accident. The data is stored in a raw/unreadable format from Windows. I haven't done a lot of digging on it yet. I'm going to pop it into a Linux box to see if I can determine if it's a standard format.
