I need some assistance with my "slide panel" PMP
 

ok so here's the deal. i bought a "slide panel" PMP 2 days ago. It had 2 GB space, FM radio, GB/GBC emulation (and could also play those weird SunMedia games), 1.3 MP camera etc. One night, I backed up its firmware using the FRM Pro tool, then tried to edit it to see if i could activate clock and calendar. I started flashing the PMP, but I got bored at "Update RSV" so I plugged it out (damn, i was so stupid... :cry: ). of course, it didnt work. the next morning, i tried several times to flash it, until i got to the point where, no matter how i would flash it, when i turned it on, it only showed me a white screen then turned off. So i took it yesterday to service (told the ppl there that perhaps i plugged it out of the PC before some file copying was over :P ) and today i went back to them. they gave me another one. It had 2 GB space too, but it had a 2 MP camera, no radio, no GB/GBC emulation (and no SunMedia games) but now i also had notepad and bookmark function in E-Books and "apply as wallpaper" function for photos. The firmware version is (written inside tools>version): V6.1.090226_8_16_17 .

My requests are:

1. could someone upload the firmware files which allow emulation (also without radio so there won't be any conflicts)
2. could someone guide me step-by-step through the whole flashing process so i wont brick the PMP again (cos now i couldnt take it to service anymore :wink: ). someone with a yahoo! ID or a Live ID would be great, so he/she could guide me with no interruptions (because i started thinking that the FRM Pro tool is Satan's creation :twisted: )


i'm sorry if my requests are silly, but:

1. i couldnt find the said firmware anywhere
2. i'm afraid to use FRM pro again without assistance

so could anyone PLEASE help me? i really like the fact that i could play Pokemon Crystal on my (now bricked) player...


thank u very much

same damn problem here but my version is 321.5678

Re: I need some assistance with my "slide panel" P
 

i got some new info. i can plug it in as a webcam by holding FFW (the lower button from the right of the screen) and plugging in the cable.

i tried making a backup but at firmware backup it stops at half the progress bar. i plugged it out (fortunately it still works) but then, windows tells me that DefaultFw.bin has 684 MB :shock:

if anyone can help, ill give them whatever details they need (besides board data and such cos im too scared to open it :lol: )

umm...
 

and another thing. look closely in the picture attached at the Fwsize and Rsvsize boxes. maybe u could tell me whats up with the values...

also, i found 2 more problems:

1. when i try extracting the firmware with FRM pro tool, and i right-click A or B and select "get", it only creates 2 empty folders. when i right click firmware and select get, it never stops (i have to manually stop it) and creates a 700 MB file!
2. when i connect it as webcam and try to use it in yahoo messenger (click webcam icon in conversation window), my computer restarts all of a sudden.

so, anyone has any idea why this happens?

That is because you use FRM pro 1.19, try FRM 1.2.0.8:

And this firmware: V6.1.081023_8_001

ok man. im gonna trust u, but it better work, cos i got it as exchange for another one which i bricked, and i think the ppl at the repair shop wouldn't change it again. :D
so does the firmware have GB emulator?
thx for the reply man, i was scared that noone knew what was wrong.

well at least the backup function worked. thats a start, since it didnt work before.
i havent tried reflashing cos im really scared. :D:D

can someone PLEASE help me??? my patience is over. I have tried 11 firmwares in a row, each, when burning, gave the error "image file not suitable". i tired yours, BoneCollector, didnt work (i will now try again), i tried using a 3050ABin0.bin from another version with the rest of the original files andw it freezed in the "Light your life" screen...:cry::cry:
Isnt there ANY WAY to get GameBoy games on my player:?::?:

please help.
thank you

Hi man. Here an editeds versions of your firmware:

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=679ID830

Only change the "DefaultFw.bin", leave the AIMG and BIMG.

Get lucky

sorry man but it dont work...
defaultFW 1 and 3: the PMP doesnt turn on
defaultFW 2: turns on but has weird colors and doesnt respond to some commands.

uhmm :?

In a functional GB/GBC firmware the "DefaultFw.bin" file has a line he said:

A:\SPMP_N1_12M.bin .gb .gbc .GB .GBC A:\SPMP_G1_12M.bin SUNPLUS556GAME

That (i think) active the emulator modules SPMP_N1_12M.bin and SPMP_G1_12M.bin . But in a no functional firmware the line said:

A:\SPMP_25MN1.bin SUNPLUS556GAME

The problem is that DefaultFw.bin file has "auto-integrity" and can not be edited without stop working.

I hope this information has been useful.

Im sure y0ur mp5 is SPMP3052B chipset. Before y0u flash y0ur mp5, make it backup first, and before proceed to the backup sesi0n, click RSV inf0 first, if y0ur firmware is abn0rmal but y0ur player is g0od and working, do n0t proceed to backup n0r flashing with0ut good buckup firmware that fit with y0ur device. bcoz it may bring to dead y0ur player..

yes BonesCollector, i never thought that line would be there, thanks a lot! :)


@ waldopulanco the firmware is normal, i have a backup and i've been flashing for some time (once i tried 11 firmwares in a row :D ). but it was abnormal with an older version of FRM pro. it said the RSV size and Fw Size were negative.

The last hope metalboy94:

*rips clothes off* IM TIRED OF THIS S**T!! IVE HAD ENOUUGH! F**K SUNPLUS!! IMMA BASH THE PMP TO THE GROUND AND GET A GAMEBOY!!! AAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!

sorry for cursing but thats exactly my mood right now.

I have a pmp slide panel imodo A08. I want that somebody edits the DefaultFW.bin to activate the GB/GBC/ and .bin emulator and sens me the edited version of this DefaultFW.bin to download. I made a backup of my firmware and uploaded it to mediafire. This is the link:
Copia2.rar
I tried to edit it with the Notepad but when I upload the firm to my pmp it didn't work. Please, edit the DefaultFW.bin replacing the line A:\SPMP_25MN1.bin SUNPLUS556GAME drm_ vibration backlight TAEND .mid .wav for A:\SPMP_N1_12M.bin .gb .gbc .GB .GBC A:\SPMP_G1_12M.bin SUNPLUS556GAME drm_ vibration backlight TAEND .mid .wav. It doesn't work using the Notepad, please edot it and I hope that my pmp works fine with the edited version of the firmware. I want to play GB/GBC games with my A08. Thanks! - Nicolás
