T.T HEEEELP!!! T.T

Read this thread and see if you can find your player here or in some of the links. If not, find a picture of your player and post it here. Someone might notice and get the fw for you. You can also try contacting the seller for fw and how to activate webcam mode.
Remember that you might have to press some other button to activate it and that there might be a hidden button somwhere.
Last resort is to open it and see if you can find some button in there. There are lots of sensitive parts in there so only remove the backplate.

@sushisan,
@symoxelo

and Everybody new in here !!

SHARE your firmware with us, in order to help all us with broken firmwares!!!

Thanks!!

Hey everyone, i have been reading this whole forum for the past couple days, i really want to help in what i can in figuring out this machine, i just got the slide version a few days ago.

two questions,

i have gotten into my machine doing what you have all said, so i have access to all the files, my question is, does anyone know where the file would be that assigns the controls for the NES emulator? i would like to edit whatever .bin file it may be to change the controls..

second, is it possible to organize this dang thing with folders? or can you only just dump tons of files into the preset folders like ¨GAMES¨, i would like to be able to orginize music and such.

thanks for the help, let me know if i can do anything!

rxmadjack, There isn't a way to make folders as far as I can tell. It is rather straight forward. But one of the things that I've considered is that the lists in the menus (music, videos, and nes games) are organized by date, then by alphabet. So, my thought is that developing a system that organized by date and then by alphabet would at least be somewhat beneficial.

In fact I working on a Linux open source software project called Clastic that manages media on a Linux system for generic MP4/MP5 players: http://sourceforge.net/projects/clastic/
It's very very early in the development process. One of the ways that I am considering managing files is by disk and then date and alphabetical.

I should have some mockups posted soon.

Hi again:

No a lot news about firmware. It's impossible to find information about the hardware, only that is an ARM with some DSP inside. Very difficult to dissasembly this code. With more info about the chipset is VERY POSSIBLE to develope new software (may be linux?) but, without this info...I don't think so!!!

PD: My firmware don't read folders, all the music must be in the same list (very uncomfortable!!) there some firmware with this feature?

the only list of features:

well at last good news for me!!

I bought another identical mp4 and took a good backup of the new one
It has the latest -I think- firmware version (v321.5678 - 58,2mb uncompressed)..

Just now, I flashed my previous (with bad fw) mp4 with the new firmware and it is fixed 100%
EDIT: well, 90% because the game emulator crashes -thats my only complain now!!

here it is uploaded:
http://rapidshare.com/files/140791876/PMPV321.5678.rar

EDIT: this fw is for board PMP-704-V23.00

From first look, this new fw has 10 languages, an upgrade function, better sound maybe more..?

mmm... maybe read folders???

Hello. I've been reading this topic and downloaded the firmwares. I have a PMP like this one http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.9504 but i bought this from ebay. I extracted the firmware and i noticed it is very different. it is only 27mb uncompressed. It can play nes games only. No radio No clock. Here is my firmware.

this firmware is totally different of the original!!! The internals seems to be a some kind of unix...very interesting!!!

I tried to install the other firmwares but none of them worked. I use frm pro to install and extract. Do you know how can i make the clock visible??

Some firmware fails to update to me. But if you mount AIMG and BIMG, copy the content into A and B folders and remake images (see: http://www.skmp3.com/Technical/2008/0512/article_4.html ) usually works very well!
