I need some assistance with my "slide panel" PMP

[metalboy94]

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

[metalboy94]

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: )

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:

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.
so does the firmware have GB emulator?
thx for the reply man, i was scared that noone knew what was wrong.

[metalboy94]

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

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

Get lucky
