Why do I have NEO_MK2_3_Menu_V0.6-A2.nds file?

[WeaponXxX]

Like the subject says why did I get NEO_MK2_3_Menu_V0.6-A2.nds with my MK32006 and its not on the web site? Nice driver disk though, very updated!

[Normmatt]

its a beta version of the 0.6 menu its by no means the latest beta.

i have no idea why neoflash released a version of this beta menu with the MK2006 kit seems stupid to me

maby it works really good with the Neo-Key ...

I'd love to know but the NeoKey doesnt work yet, they sent me a box with a NeoKey and I come to get drivers and I see a sign that says
"NeoKey supported with 2.2" 

Edit
Just to clarify the key came BLANK

[boblen]

ok so you cant get the menu on the NEO-Key

It should come preloaded with menu 0.4.  At least that's what other people are reporting....

yes thats what i mean ... all you should have to do is format the SD/mmc card and put a NDS Rom on ther and it should work ...

Maby yo have a newer DS which cant have a Magic Key ... Then your Neo-Key is usless.

I have so many DSes and carts that I often get miss the obvious,
First I put the MK3/Passkey in my silver flashmed DS (the one I use the most) and nothing happened on the boot up, no white screens, just the DS menu.
Then my silver stock, then my blue stock, nothing happened but at the DS menu it said "Option Pak inserted". What threw me off was Each rig has it's own set up (including their own passkeys) so I forgot to put an original DS game in the MK3 (DOH) is my face red. After seeing that the Powerkit 2.1 didn't support the NeoKey I went back to the Neoflash cart but thanks guys for the quick reply, I properly reset up my MK3 and my neokey did have .4 making me feel better that other users who don't have flash carts can still play  their MK32006 out of the box.

Time to put my NeoKey away and continue using .6-A2 on my Neoflash =)

no worries... glad you resolved the problem..

That "option pak" notice pops up often enough I threw that into the troubleshooting section of the mk2/mk3 guide..

wot of a BETA menu ... No way (we cant)

What I don't get is why the neooflash team just doesn't allow public beta testing of the menu. It would get alot of bug testing done very quickly. Not releasing 0.6 for public consumption because of the bugs but packaging it with a new product doesn't make much sense.

[boblen]

... I dont have a problam

any way you would have to talk to Dr.Neo about this one.

[Kushan]

There's no point in publicly releasing a beta menu, it would just clog up the forum with people posting about how it doesn't work.
Having a smaller, dedicated testing team who are better trained to test the stuff is a better alternative that to releasing it onto mass numbers that are, for the most part, unlikely to give back decent, quality feedback.

[bruceg]

Yeah,

The reason is basically what Kushan has alluded to.  Functions frequently get broken in the beta releases (when new features are added).  People aren't going to be too happy about that.

With the mk3 2006, menu 0.4 actually comes pre-flashed on the neo-key.  A beta version, marked as such, is provided separately.  Now I don't know the exact reason why it was included, as the mk3 patching routine is completely broken (maybe the purpose was to give a preview of what's going to be available in the offical release?)

The testers actually do their jobs quickly, by reporting any significant issues (we want to see a better product also since we're users ourselves)

Anyways, I hope .6 turns out well since everybody has been waiting a while...
