Mega Stick - 122 MB free after update

I've updated Mega Stick firmware from 2.01 to 2.04 (using newest drivers from site) under WinXP and everything went well ... except that after updating and formating I had 122 of 128 MB free (and there were no files on it, except settings.dat). Is this how it should be?
One more thing, I'm using it with NiMh batteries (800mAh), but they won't last long because MS1 thinks that Alkaline battery voltage is too low (and it isn't, it's normal voltage for NiMh, and MS1 works just fine on that voltage)... I guess that it could be solved in firmware, with option to select Alkaline or NiMh batteries.

No, it says (Main menu/About) 128MB total, 122MB free.

And we have to also consider the space that’s allocated for the FAT
Yes, that crossed my mind later. I just thought it would take less space.

I think the software is in some separate EPROM chip or some sort of a programmable chip like a micro controller rather than on the Flash memory it self, but who knows I could be wrong.
That's a good point, maybe it is on a flash ...
Anyway, thanks for the answers. At least I know I'm not the only one with 122MB ...

  • Getting iWork apps back for free after updating to ios8

    After updating to ios8 I lost all of my iWork apps. Now I have to pay money to get them back. I got them for free after buying the iPad mini retina last year and do not understand why now I have to pay money to get those back. I looked at the purchased section in the apps store but they don't show up there even if I had those apps before my iOS 8 update. Can somebody help me out with this? And am I missing something?

    Hi everyone, basically like above. I have updated my mac to Yosemite this morning and I wanted to do my school work but all the apps I need are gone. Even worse... I got them for free few months ago when I bought my mac but now they want me to pay 14 quid for one! Can I do anything with it ? I have also only used this account as it was my first one.
    please help.

  • I didn't receive iWork apps for free after updating iOS 7 in my iPhone 4s. Can anyone help me with this problem?

    Is there anyone have the same problem?

    Actually, if I read the release announcement correctly, it is available on "new" purchases." So even if you had a 5 from before the announcement, I'm not sure you would qualify.

  • Mega Stick Radio Problems

    Ok, I got the mega stick 256mb. I tried updating the firmware using my comp, however, it didn't work (I think its because I have an nforce2 chipset).  Luckily I was able to revive the player with my bro's comp, and now it at least turns on.  However, now my radio will only go from 79.5mhz to 90.5 mhz, while before it went from like 89 to 108 and now I cant listen to any stations.  Anyone have any idea?

    I had exactly the same problem and found out it was a firmware problem.
    It has something to do with your Mega Stick being the Japanese version so the FM is 75 to90.5Mhz.
    Update your firmware so that FM will receive up to 108Mhz. http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/firmware/frm/spt_frm_ia_list.php
    Hope this works for you - It did for me

  • MEGA STICK 520 Firmware update?

    Hi, well I´been searching and reading this forum for quite some time and I haven´t found answers to this questions and I though that maybe someone did, so here it is:
    I own a MEGA STICK 520 and I found a firmware update MS5520v0.2.0_FW.zip (2005-8-17) but I want to know exactly what does it changes, so if someone did the update, what does it do? And did you have any problems installing it? because I´ve read too many threads about players dying or allmost.
    Is it the first firmware update? cause aparently for what i´ve read a lot of firmware with problems were solved with new versions.
    Thanks in advance,
    Bherno
    Ps: sorry for my english, i´m from argentina. and please don´t answer me "just do it man!", because it cost me a lot of money and i can´t afford to kill it. I have two good reasons for doing the update, it´s really annoying that the player starts reproducing an album in the middle when it is prefectly organiced (in fact if you go manually to the first track it will play perfectly fine), and that the volume increases exponentialy.

    The latest firmware feature is more little bug, thus please update the latest F/W (v0.2.0)!!
    Update items is as follows:
    1. Fixed bug: When manage “playlist” and power off, after power on “playlist” will be disorder.
    2. Fixed bug: The file name will be cut under “playlist” mode.
    3. Fixed bug: When didn’t use a long time, the screen wasn’t display.
    Please do according to firmware update procedure of the following:
    Mega stick firmware update process:
    1. Please download and install the latest firmware and driver!!(http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/ia/ia/pro_ia_detail.php?UID=605)
    2. After firmware unzipping, it will show some files, please replace driver installation files (C:\Program Files\MSI\MS-5520)
    3. Please press sustained “play key” first (While mega stick can't be recognized by PC please add this procedure), then plug your mega stick 520 in your PC.
    4. Please go to "start" (below left corner) and enter "programs" and choose "MSI MS-5520" update now!!!
    5. As you update firmware that you can select "format data area" and after update success, you can release of your finger. (While mega stick can't be recognized by PC please add this procedure)
    Please note: While mega player can't be recognized by PC, please don’t put battery with update firmware.
    Hope to solve your doubt!!

    Sometimes it's better to read the entries here first, before posting *g*.
    Solution is very easy. Remove battery from Mega-Stick. Connect to USB while holding the PLAY-Button. Windows will find now a device called like recoverybla. Install the driver from the original MSI-CD. Now you can do a upgrade with a new firmware ... And ... it works ...

    After updating my iphone 4 with the ios 6 update. My iphone would no longer connect to my home wifi that is password protected. I know that I have the right password entered in. At work we have a free wifi connection that does not require a password and I can connect no problem to it. My ipod touch has no problem connecting to my home wifi. It is a 3rd gen ipod and does not have the ios 6 update on it. Please help!

    I'm having the same issues. Started when I upgraded iphone 4S and ipad1 to 5.1.1. Wife's iphone 4g on 4.4.2 has been ok. I've forgot the network on both devices and restored the iphone, none of which changed the issue. I've upgraded to ios 6 on the iphone 4s, problem still persists.
         One thing that will help for a time: go to your router and change the wireless control channel. When I first did this I got full connectivity for about 48 hours... and now the problem is back. I'm now changing the wireless control channel every 12 hours, which is a pain but at least keeps me connected. I've tried a few other solutions that are out there and that has been the best one so far.
         to do this on a motorola router: type 192.168.0.1 in your address bar.
    username: admin and password:motorola if you have not changed the factory defaults.
    Click on the word "wireless" and look for the "control channel" field. This may be set to auto or to 1, try changing it to 6 or 11 (preferred) or any other channel.
    The control channel can cause static in the wireless system IF there are several networks nearby that are on the default setup.
    There is a fair bit of buzz about this issue out there, some other things I've seen:
    This is a hardware issue. Go to the store and have your wifi antenna checked, some users reporting that they get free replacement devices.
    Check against other wifi networks that require a password (this is next for me). Logon to those networks and surf until your wifi stops. If your wifi connects to the internet but stops responding, then this is a software (or hardware) issue and apple needs to step up. Some are claiming this to be the case.
    IF you connect and stay connected/on the internet on another password protected wifi, then the issue is with your router. this is where things get cute.
    Comcast may tell you to update your firmware. Motorola may tell you that your cable provider is the only one who can push through firmware updates. Comcast may tell you that you are not in an area that is being updated. It's unclear if they say that to all customers, or just those who have purchased cable modems and aren't renting them from comcast.
    Good luck, more to come if I figure out anything else, and please post any solutions you may find.

    Firstly I updated my ipad into ios7 and after watching the video by Apple, iWork, pages and numbers are free for download after updating iOS 7. How can I download iWork pages and number for free? Please help me.

    stevejobsfan is correct; iwork for ios is free only for new purchases of new ios devices. A good work around (if you have wifi connectivity) is going to the icloud website on your ipad, and working on your document.
    A word of caution (the real reason I am responding to your post). If you do a lot of 'formatting' of a document on iwork for mac, and then save it in icloud; you will probably loose most of the formatting you have done (this will be true if you oppen the document in iwork for ios; also) It happened to me, and I did not duplicate the document before saving it to icloud; I lost at least an hours worth of work.

  • Unable to restore backup after updating iphone 4, because "not enough free space"

    I updated my iphone 4 to v7 via itunes (v12), and in doing so, my camera roll was erased as were most of my calendar events.  I am trying to restore the backup that I created just before updating, but I get an error message in itunes that says "itunes could not restore the iphone" because "not enough free space".  There is 2.5gb free on my iphone, and I created the backup just before updating so there should be plenty of room.  Does anyone know how to get the iphone to restore and/or how to put my pics & calendar back?  itunes hangs up at the end while syncing too...

  • Mega Stick 128: Update Firmware The Says Locked

    I've got a Mega Stick 128, i got it about 2months ago, i can't return it coz it was a present from my aunty in malaysia and i live in australia. now i recently formated by mistake with the windows formatting program, now it says media error. I went to the MSI website and then updated my firmware on it with the program, it now says LOCKED on the LCD when i turn it on. this then shuts down, i've tried updating the firmware even with both versions. i really annoying, i can't find an answer for this can you?

    right lets keep this problem in this thread.
    You need to give MSI support 24-92 hours for email replies and maybe longer if support in your country is currently overworked. also please check you have got the right email address at MSI- you need Tech Support not Sales.

  • Opening Photoshop after updating the free trial

    My 30 day trial has finished so I have just joined Creative Cloud (Student and Teacher Edition).  After updating Photoshop on the Creative Cloud app, I can't seem to open it.  When I click on Photoshop, all I seem to get is 'Your trial has expired' and 'Liscence This Software'.  How do I do that? Do I need to enter a serial number? If so, where do I get that from? I haven't received an email about it.
