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:

  • Megastick 520 Firmware Update Error

    I tried to update my MS-520 firmware (version 0.1.7 to 0.1.9) but for my surprise the UPDATE PROGRAM detect the files I had downloaded (tagged MS520 0.1.9) as MS511 , ¿Can someone in MSI explain that? Of course my MS520 became unusable   but afterwards I put it again to work using the Recovery Mode.  The case is, ¿IS MSI DOING THINGS CONCIOUSLY?
    Another point, ¿IS POSSIBLE TO UPDATE THE MS520 INTERNAL DATE? The files I recorded were tagged in 1997 or something like that...
    The functionality of the MS520 is EXCELLENT  but not the SUPPORT FROM MSI  which must be performed in a better way not to lose customer confidence.
    If anyone can help me solve these doubts...
    Thanks.

  • Aluminum Keyboard still sticking after firmware update

    I purchased my iMac last week, and have run all the system updates. The day I bought it, one of the keys stuck momentarily, but quickly stopped, so I let it pass...since one of the udpates I ran later that day was the keyboard firmware update. Today, though, the decrease volume key stuck. And stayed stuck. To get it to stop sticking, I had to shut down the iMac, unplug it, and the plug it back in and reboot. I've searched online here and via google and saw a few references to this firmware update (Aluminum Keyboard Update 1.0):
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/firmware_hardware/aluminumkeyboardfi rmwareupdate10.html
    I've downloaded the update, but it tells me it's already been run (it has, I ran it when I bought the machine). I double click the firmware updater in my utilities folder and it tells me I'm up to date... So, what now? Anyone else still having problems after the update? This *****...I finally convinced my wife to make the switch and I end up with a problem that the fix won't fix...
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
    Robert

    Did you get it fixed and how? I'm having the same problem with my iMac that I just bought. Now, I'm surfing the net for answers.
    I do plan to bring my machine to the nearest service center this weekend. But, if anyone can help, please do.

  • Mega Stick 511 USB2 problem

    The USB2 doesn’t work, I try it in 5 different computers, I update the driver’s and Firmware, it is broke??? I buy it a day ago!
    Thank you

    Quote from: nozzle on 01-September-05, 22:18:11
    All,
    The problem has been "sorted" for me. After speaking with the very helpful Alick in MSI support, he pointed me to the right firmware for my MS5511 1GB Megastick:
    http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/firmware/frm/spt_frm_ia_detail.php?UID=607
    It's the one called "MEGA STICK 511 Firmware" not "MEGA STICK 511 USB2.0 without FM Firmware" (what a horrible website!) and it's version 002.001.009.
    Still the annoying 'This device can perform faster' message - but it's connected as USB2.0 full-speed and not USB1.0 slow-speed, meaning you can fill up the 1GB in about 20 minutes, as opposed to several hours.
    I compared Alick's results using HD Tach (http://www.simplisoftware.com/Public/index.php?request=HdTach), and got the following results:
    1. A USB1.1 device will read at around 0.8 MByte/s
    2. My MS5511 device will read at around 0.9 MByte/s (USB2.0 full-speed's theoretical max is around 1.5MByte/s)
    3. A USB2.0 high-speed memory-stick will read at around 9.0 MByte/s (USB2.0 high-speed's theoretical max is around 60 MByte/s
    4. My (slow) hard disk will read at around 30 Mbyte/s
    5. A really good hard disk on a fast PC will read at around 130 MByte/s
    The real problem I have is that MSI are marketing their USB2.0 device as if it's a decent speed, whereas it's only slightly faster than USB1.1. It takes me 23 minutes to fill it up, which is way too long.
    Anyone else finding their Megastick any faster?
    After upgrading my firmware to 3.000.006 I have got the same problem I get the 'This device can perform faster' message' but this was not the case before the firmware upgrade when I had 2.0. Also with the old firmware I did almost filled my stick and I didn't timed it but I think it could take about 10 minutes.
    I have the MSI MEGA Stick 511 - Lite, 256M and it has no FM radio. Should I then not use the firmware listed as wothout FM?

  • USB (Mega stick), sound output and PS2 problems

    ==USB problem==
    The MSI MEGA STICK do not work with the MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR.
    When you plug it, its recognized, you can write on the MEGA STICK, delete files but cannot READ from MEGA STICK. It freezes while display "reading". I have tried on lots of PCs. Only my MSI motherboard do not work properly. The same problem with my 2 MEGA STICK. And i had tried Windows XP and Linux. Same problem. Others USB devices works fine. Even card readers...
    ==PS2==
    My optical wireless mouse do not works properly. When i turns on the computer, it works ok. If i restart, do not work. Restart again, works. And go on... Only this mouse. Others MB works fine.
    ==Sound Output==
    And also with my sound output. The eletrical one (coaxial).
    It do not work with my 5.1 home system. It works fine with my old SB Live. It gets worse when i use my tv output from my Radeon 9100. It only works SOMETIMES when the tv output is not plugged in.
    Thanks to all that could help me.

    Mega stick.
    have you updated the firmware ?
    No. It Freezes before being able to update. Also the update do not tell about solving this problem
    "Firmware version: 2.05
    Update items
    1. Improve delete MP3 and voice files function.
    2. Fix device will restart while forward/backward Voice file."
    you do know that windows xp does not come with usb2 drivers.
    sp1 does and you have to install them yourself.
    go to device manager and delete all usb entries and reboot and windows will install the usb2 drivers next time you boot.
    if you get a slipstreamed version of xp you dont need to do this as it installed usb2 drivers rightaway.
    slipstream means a xp disc with sp1 on it.
    My XP cd is already SP1. Also tried on BIOS to use only USB 1.1V
    PS2.
    tried to use the other ps2 contact ?
    No. Could i use the keyboard PS2 to plug the mouse?
    SOUND.
    this is not my area but it could be a good idea to post what the equipment is.
    have you tried the latest drivers from http://www.nvidia.com ?[/quote]
    Its a brazilian brend. You wont know. CCE. Its works fine with DVDs, my old SB Live! and others. Only with my K7N2 do not work properly. Its an AC3 decoder. The problem gets worse when i use the Radeon 9100 tv out.
    Look like the problem on this thread.
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?threadid=29572&sid=&hilightuser=26427
    This is my old thread. Never solved. :-(
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?sid=&postid=319195#post319195
    When i updated the BIOS, it got even worse. Not even with the tv output unplugged it never worked anymore...
    Its very disapointed to buy an expensive MB and realized that it do not work properly...

  • Mega Stick 511 problem

    I've just bought a Mega Stick 511 and right now it's making me want to do this  . I'm running Windows Xp (although the manual seems to be for 98se users) and everytime I go to the device manager to look for the driver Player Recovery Device Class, it's not there although this- MSI MS-5511 USB Device- is listed under disk drives. I've downloaded the updated firmware and drivers from the MSI website and I'm following each step but this just keeps throwing me for a loop. I don't think it's a connection problem because the LCD screen on the player shows that it's connected. So if anyone out there has any clue how to fix this and then proceed to tell me how to actually load MP3 files onto it (because even that I'm sure I will stuff up), please please help me.

  • Mega stick FM recording

    Hi everyone!,
    Yesterday I´ve bought a Mega Stick 1 (firmware 2.04).
    What i like most from mega stick 1 was the posibility
    to record FM radio stations.  
    Radio reception its not as good as I spected  , of course,
    now its digital sound pretty much high quality than my
    old radio (sony). I strech the earphone wire and had
    better reception (as the FAQ suggest).
    I recorded about 40 minutes of music with 44.1 mhz
    quality . When I wanted to listen what it had recorded
    I found that the sound sounded dirty, like dirty one or
    lined CD of music. It was not cause bad reception, its
    something wrong on Mega Stick record algorithm.
    Thast anyone has a clue of what wen wrong?
    Help please.
    Thanks in advance,
    Alex.

    Yeah... it's doesn't record at that rate; even if you set it to...
    I also though it would record the radio at the same quality you are listening it if you set a rate high enough... but it didn't; don't know why.

  • 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.

    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 ...
