I can adjust the volume in video and audio players, but it has no effect on game volume. Games play full blast! :?

here is the driver you need so that the pc recognise it as a camera and that you can backup it driver

mine the a drive is around 50 mgabytes and it doesnt play gb\gbc games only nes games and i hate them they are silly

and y cant i change the style i mean the theme and the pics :cry:

hi! aapot send me your firmware for testing in my device!!! joel.zerpa at gmail.com i will test press "hidden button" in line-in (how? insert line-in cable? Please!!!!), i see when open my device. My firmware is 4.01.070910-b

....nothing...i insert a cable in line-in (for press hidden-button) slot and nothing the device is not webcam only flash memory option is enabled....some information for activate webcam and replace firmware?

BattleToad (J) Work! NOT Battletoad (E) or (U)

I already gave you a link to my fw.
You need something longer than normal 2.5mm plug.
I have personally found multimeter test leads to be close to ideal. Something like http://news.thomasnet.com/images/large/025/25206.jpg
except longer. If you have something with a cone-like head and it's not too small, it should work fine. Head of the button is small though so hitting it with a needle might be rather frustrating experience.

Anyway, I couldn't get the webcam to work when I tried it. Driver apparently crashed windows when launching capturing software.

Also tried a-data speedy 2gb sd with this and it works fine. SDHC card are probably not supported though. Also it seems that these access sd using usb 1.1 so it's rather slow.

BattleToads japan and usa versions hang when entering level 3. eu version doesn't but runs 1'st and 2'nd levels at reduced speed. In third level, objects are flying above ground. Haven't gotten past level 3 yet. Ps. if I remember correctly(it's been ~10 years), there should be a "teleport" in one of the walls that will get you to next level. It might actually be that thing on 2'nd picture at http://www.retrojunk.com/details_articles/1199/ .

gracias ! :D

Re: Sunplus SPMP3050A - General
 

Si averiguas cual es la combinación de teclas para poner el PMP en modo webcam en el PC para poder acceder al firmware, por favor, no dudes en colocarlo por aquí. Gracias.

para poner el pmp en modo web cam, apretar (ok +A )con el pmp apagado y conectarlo al usb,asi lo reconoce como una web cam, instalar los driver

saludos !

Re: Sunplus SPMP3050A - General
 

I've write this guide to help on recovering , I think it may help:
http://www.mympxplayer.org/dead-pmp-...de-vt9087.html

This thread sure has evolved a lot since last time i came here. I might pick up one of those players just for kicks if i can find them around.

Heh, that'd make me an "MPx-a-holics Anonymous" member indeed. :P

I created a wiki (based on the GamekingII one) so we can put on there all the information we find:
http://mp4.itram.es/wiki
The Sunplus section can be found here:
http://mp4.itram.es/wiki/spmp305x/
Everyone can edit, so add whatever information you find..

Beerzerk, do you give me permission to copy your tutorial on the wiki? (giving you credit, of course). It's better written than the one I made (and I think you based yours on mine, at least the VDK part :D)

hola ,alguien podria traducir al castellano el tutorial,para la modificacion del sunplus 3050 ?desde ya muchas gracias !!!

Hola, qué tal?
Yo tengo éste PMP: http://articulo.mercadolibre.com.ar/...vio-gratis-_JM pero es de marca DCTechnology... tiene un procesador Sunplus SPMP3050A HL171.
El tema es que no puedo hacerlo funcionar como webcam, a pesar de que apreto las combinaciones que dicen. Leí por ahí que hay un "botón escondido" en la salida de video... puede ser??? Dónde? Cómo lo presiono?
Tambien quiero hacerle un upgrade del Firmware, porque no puedo ver la fecha...
Bueno, gente... les mando un saludo y gracias!

English (poor one): Hi! I have this PMP: http://articulo.mercadolibre.com.ar/...vio-gratis-_JM but it's a DCTechnology one whit a Sunplus SPMP3050A HL171 processor... the thing is that I can't make it run as a webcam, even tough I've pressed the buttons combination they say around. I've also read that there's a hidden button in the out video line... is it real??? where is it? How do I press it?
I also wanna make a Firmware upgrade because I can't see the "date" item...
Well... thanks everybody!!! :P

Re: Sunplus SPMP3050A - General
 

After examining the firmware of my gameking II clones I find the GB and SNES emulators ( SPMP_G1_12M.bin, SPMP_N1.bin, SPMP_N1_12M.bin, SPMP_25MN1.bin ),but gameboy and SNES game ROMS are not recognised when copied to GAME directory.Any ideas?

My guess is that those files aren't enabled in 3050ABin0.bin thus making them just something they forgot to delete. You can probably remove them and it would still work fine. Someone with working gb/snes emulation could try removing these and see if it still works.

Then again, I cannot find any references to these files in any other file in AIMG(PMP_DX_sku9504_blue_background.rar) .
Maybe it checks every .bin file in AIMG root. Finding such a piece of code in 3050ABin0.bin(in hopes of enabling this feature in other fws) is pretty hopeless.

Re: Sunplus SPMP3050A - General
 

Thank you.
In my firmware several files can be deletet without affecting the toy.Some big .jpg files are not in use,and a unused skin .bmp file with chinese/korean font ( ??34h.bmp ) gave read errors when downloading the A tree as separate files to computer with FRM Pro.
I have tried to burn pacman.nes into GAME directory on drive A without success.
Are structure:

drive A: program files/resources
drive B: swap
drive C: hidden with defaultFw.bin
drive D: flash drive
drive E: SD card ??

or where does defaultFv.bin go?.There seems to be a 2 mb size limit for defaultFv.bin in FRM Pro.

Re: Sunplus SPMP3050A - General
 

Hi, I have the same player as the first picture of this thread, or at least that is how it look. I already try plug in the usb pressing all buttons and in all combinations of 2 buttons, I also open the case and look for a secret button, but there is nothing inside. If the player is off, when I plug the cable it only turn on, but it doesn't connect to the usb interfase, I have to plug it when it is in the main menu to the PC to see the device. Another thing I looked is, nor in the system setup option, nor in the tools option there is a option to see anything about the firmware version (I saw some screenshot around the web that shows some option inside one of this options). So, anyone have some idea to get and/or upgrade the firmware of this player? (Oh, I already try to conect the cable when it is in DV or Camera mode).

Another thing, misteriously, a .sav file apeared in the game folder, i don't know how this happend (i don't have that .sav in my PC) nor how use it. Anyone knows how this could happen and how to use this .sav file?

Well that's all ^^

Re: Sunplus SPMP3050A - General
 

This works for me ( gameking clone ):
With power off and pressing Y connect USB to computer - sound from computer and message from windows XP :unknown USB device, asking for driver.
Uncompress this driver kindly uploaded to Rapidshare by dbg4780 and install it.

http://rapidshare.com/files/90955156...river.zip.html

The ISP driver contain a camera and a webcam driver,install both.

Now you should be able to access the firmware with FMPro for backup.
I myself have been able to install other firmwares, but not getting them to work.
The .sav file are settings from one of the nes games.

Re: Sunplus SPMP3050A - General
 

Hello, I've managed to extract my firmware, but I'm having problems flashing it back (others firmware, or even the original one). I set the working directory to the one containing the aimg, bimg and defaultfw, then i set the firmware image to use to defaultfw in that directory. And finally with the options All Programs, Disk Img Mode, and Read Verify options, y hit ISP.
This is the log:
1 devices Detected !
[Dev NO.Undefined]: Check ISP core -- SUCCESS --
[Dev NO.Undefined]: Judge burn size -- SUCCESS --
[Dev NO.Undefined]: Format Flash -- SUCCESS --
[Dev NO.Undefined]: Update RSV

And it stays there, with the progress bar at a bit more than a half.
Ideas please? If I don't figure this out, my player won't turn on anymore :cry:

Just keep on trying - I think you will success in the 3. or 4th. attempt,as I did.

and perhaps with read verify unchecked?

Re: Sunplus SPMP3050A - General
 

Well, it work after I re-create the aimg file (don't ask me why). But now, being an asshole is bringing me some problems. Someone have the three original files (defaultfw, aimg, bimg) of the player (the one of the first picture of the thread)?... Yes I fucked up my original files and I can't find a set that works fine with my player. (the LogicPMP Slide Panel Firmware that is somewhere around here, works, but it mess the button layout making too hard to use the player).

By the way, the main core of the spmp3050a seems to belong to the ARMv5TEJ architecture, if someone find a disassambler of its binaries we can get closer to hack this player.

If you can't just flash the files, you might want to enter Linux and mount AIMG, then take the files, come to windows and put them in a folder called A. The BIMG file must be put in a folder called B. Then just create a RSV image with FRM Pro and a new AIMG and BIMG will be created. After that just flash the file normally, with program all.

For aapot,
I got those errors with different size (error 32) too. All you have to do is to get the files out from AIMG and create a new AIMG with the FRM Pro tool.

For all, I have a lot of 32 bit games for Sunplus players (made by their SunMedia subsidiary). I will upload them and I have FRM Pro 1.19 b too.

Cheers!

No, that's not the problem. I can upload the firmware. My problem, is I lost my original files (defaultfw aimg and bimg), and I can't find a set of files that work fine on my player. I try with all posted here and a few mora that I found on google, but the closest I get is the one from the Recover Sunplus PMP post (LogicPMP Slide Panel firmware), but with it all buttons are mixed making it imposible to use the games.
So I need the set of files for the Sunplus SPMP3050A from the first picture of the post (I have that same player). Or alternatively, how to change the button layout from the "LogicPMP Slide Panel Firmware".

I'll see if I can find some firmware on the internet. Also, I uploaded my firmware (but it's for a Sliding panel player) and after it is added you can try it. I suggest you to try mine because it looks very different from the rest around here and it could work. Too bad I don't have a player that lloks like yours, that way this would work. But somebody that has one like in the first picture should help you fix yours. I'll keep you updated with what I find :).

Para lo que habran español:

Es una tontada (pido disculpa por mi palabra) hacer eso ya lo he intentado de muchas formas y el error es el mismo no se puede actualizar el programa de el pmp y eso que lo he intentado con muchas supuestamente actualizacion.
Mi conclusion es la siguiente: Cada equipo viene con su programa y eso no se pude cambiar.

suerte.

Re: Sunplus SPMP3050A - General
 

I'm not so sure lycan2005, i've just find a firmware from a different player and even when it has a little different button layout, it is now usable, and it has realtime clock an option for make updates (i don't know how it works, i haven't test it yet) and i won't be surprise if I found something more.
It's true, there are severals models with the same processor that use different firmware (probably because they use different peripheral hardware). But it's also true that evidently there is some important difference in the instruccion set of the differents SPMP305x processors. I think, if we collect a couple of firmware more and classify them carefully, we can begin to underset how it works.
By the way, the firmware I'v just tested is the one from en.s1mp3.net for the spmp3050a-pmp701. Now i'm able to use the full pmp, but it's still a bit annoying because of the changes in the buttons (in the nes emulator the layout it's almost the same and arrows are ok).
Anyway, I'm still looking for the original firmware of this player, so if somebody have it I would be very thankful to revice it.

En español:
No estoy tan seguro lycan2005, acabo de encontrar un firmware de otro reproductor y aun cuando tiene una pequeña diferencia en la configuracion de los botones, ahora es usable, e incluso tiene la opcione de reloj y una opcion para hacer updates (no se como funciona), y no me sorprenderia encontrar alguna otra funcionalidad).
Es verdad, hay muchos modelos con el mismo procesador que usan distintos firmwares (probablemente porque usen distinto hardware perisferico). Pero tambien es cierto que evidentemente hay algunas diferencias importantes en el set de instrucciones de los distintos procesadores de la serie SPMP305x. Creo que si recolectamos algunos firmware y los clasificamos cuidadosamente, podremos empezar a entender como funcionan.
Por cierto, el firmware que acabo de probar es el que se consigue en en.s1mp3.net para el modelo spmp3050a-pmp701. Ahora puedo usar todo el pmp, aunque todavia es un poco modelo a causa de los cambios en los botones (en el emulador de nes la distribucion es casi la misma y los direccionales estan bien).
De todas formas, todavia sigo buscando el firmware original de mi reproductor, asi que si alguien lo tiene estaría muy agradecido de recibirlo.

Re: Sunplus SPMP3050A - General
 

Gracias, pero tampoco parece funcionar. Parece que voy a tener que esperar a que aparezca alguien con el mismo modelo que yo.

Thanks, but it doesn't seems to work neither. It seems that I'll have to wait someone that have the same model come around.

Tengo una duda, cuando abre las imagenes estan todas las aplicaciones, alguien sabe como se debe modificar las imagenes para que se activen las demas aplicaciones por ejemplo si se abre la imagen A ahí va estar muchas aplicaciones pero cuando se pasa al pmp tan solo aparecen algunas.

creo que hay que modificar los archivos .bin ¿alguin sabe como se hace?

Deberias modificar el defaultfw.bin y/o el spmp3050a0.bin de la imagen A. El problema es que sin un compilador ni un desensablador es muy jodido de hacer.

You should modify the defaultfw.bin and/or the spmp3050a0.bin from A image. The problem is that without a compiler nor a disassambler it's something very hard to do.

Me paso algo muy curiso lo voy acontar para que lo prueben:

Analizando varias imagenes me tope con que hay un archivo que se llama USERCONFIG.BIN si lo abre con el editor de texto se daran cuenta que hay unas opciones como:
USERCONFIG
LCM = 1 (ni idea)
HOME = 3 (supongo que es el skin o modo del programa )
RTC = 0 (ni idea)
KMMEM = 1 (Este numero no varia)

si analizan ese archivo con otros se daran cuenta que los numeros varian.

Lo que hice fue reemplazar ese archivo por otro de otra imagen y el resultado es que curiosamente me apareciron otras cosas en el pmp.

NO SE SI FUE POR ESO.

Ahhh a cuando queme la imgen en el pmp salio un error pero lo desconecte y lo encendi y fue normal
