bestondoa,
No need to open your player.
What video format does your player use?
If you go to your players Settings menu there should be an entry for Firmware Version, what information is shown?

Hi tadad1,

Well, I just saw now your post, after opening the player

I had tried EasyChips in order to identify it but with no sucess.

Anyway the player is ALi M5661C based with Samsung memory.

In System info it says:
FW: 02.03.00.06
CHIP: 08

Is the ALi chip good?

From what I read its only used in 1 commercial player, which is the Sony CE-P.

Bestondoa,
I am not shure if yours is a rockchip machine. I hope it is, as this machine is wonderful.
I do buy it due to an incredible luck in about US$ 100, as the seller ignore completely what kind of chip it has.
Mine is recognize by XP writing the following text "RockChip USB MP3 USB Device" and "RockChip USB SD USB Device" in Device Manager.
According with the characteristic is a rockchip as play xvid AVI without conversions.
The only info shown in System is
Ver: 00.00.0008
Date: 2006.12.04
I hope the upload of the pic and the features has work well, for you to compare yours with mine.
I buy it due to its large screen (2.2) and ability to play AVI movies and the mini SD slot.

I have am MP4 player and I cant seem to get the firmware to do anything for editing. I tried the dump program but all I get its this:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

scan for devices...
detected drives: <k>

<a>..<z> select device
<.> scan for devices
<?> display help
<~> exit program

$.
scan for devices...
detected drives: <k>

$k
connect to device 'K:\'...
init device...
set device to f-mode...
get info from device...
ic version = 0x0000
storage info = 0x0602, 0x0000, 0x0000, 0x0000
device = 'S1 Mp3 Player'
manufacturer = 'Wilson Co. Ltd.'
bootflash type = 'F285'
brom version = 3.0.80
firmware version = 9.0.48
read boot record...
detect firmware size...
error: The system cannot read from the specified device.
disconnect from device...
Press any key to continue . . .

What gives? I just want to change a few pictures in it and maybe tweak it a little. What program would get me in there. Also I bought it as a 4G but knew it only had 1 so I threatened the seller with bad feedback and got 1/2 my noney back! I only paid 9 bucks US plus 12 for shipping...$21 US aint bad, delivered.
