Has anyone here ever decided to take a stroll through the French county side, take in a breath of the clean nuclear sanitized air, carrying baguettes under each arm and....
I mean has anyone here ever looked at the French NeoGeo X forum? (Yay for French I class and Google Translate!)
Unlike us here in the English speaking world, the French seem more enthusiastic about the NeoGeo X, sure they do know that it's an inferior unit compared to other offerings by other companies and is lacking in many features and could of been executed better, regardless they are more respectful. Rather than respond negatively to the NGX and rant, instead the "haters" seem more constructive and share their ideas to better improve the device through modding ideas or future update ideas.
They recognize it's a small budget device with developers who did the best they can with the resources at their disposal.
Browsing the blog and forum, besides there being a more positive atmosphere, you'll find posts which are filled with quite a few custom mods including custom system mods, dock mods, 3rd party games in the news, and not to mention, work on an X-Card (an alternative to the pricey Italian Magic SD Adapter or doing it yourself that doesn't require destroying many SD Adapters).
Such a vast difference to the English forums where every post is flooded by the same non-NGX owners or haters ranting the same arguments over and over since day 1... The screen sucks, the resolution sucks, the handheld sucks, the dock sucks, Tommo Sucks, this sucks, that sucks, you suck, I suck, sucks sucks sucks.... So much sucking from the haters *coughqueercough*. Anyways, it's been over 4 months, NGX fans don't care about your rants, ownership seemingly has increased steadily over the months around the world, you won't stop new potential owners, get over it, move on.
I suggest fans of NeoGeo X who are tired of the constant negativity and rants of the U.S. sites who are unable to get answers to questions or civilized replies to your inquiries due to the floods of rants, and/or are interested in mods, news, and updates to NeoGeo X Projects and Ideas in the works, I highly suggest seeking out the French NeoGeo X sites (I won't paste links in respect of this one).
Maybe if I get in the mood, since I do visit the French forums, I may translate and relay any noteworthy posts here (mods, development, etc).

Example of what the French have to offer:
Couple months ago, Neslou, a French NeoGeo X forum member, unveiled plans to make low-cost professional SD <-> microSD adapter, named the X-Card. The X-Card with its modified pin layout is recognized by the NeoGeo X Handheld whatever its version.
A couple weeks ago, Neslou received the first five prototypes for beta testers to examine before launching production of the X-Card.

or another interesting mod for a 2nd SD Card drive which doesn't interfere with the current NGX SD Slot so you can launch games without an SD Hack, Extension or Adapter.
