Mega Stick version?

This may be a stupid question, but how do I check the version of my Mega Stick 128?
I need to know this so that I can check for Firmware upgrades

turn the stick on and press the black tuner button on the side of the stick (where you would normally rotate to change songs/stations). after you see the word "music" then slide that same knob to the left or right until you see "about". press it (not turn or rotate) and that will give you the firmware number and memory availible...

MEGA stick 511 (512mb)

Hi, my problem is that, i don't know or it just imposible, i can't get to divide my mp3 into differents folders, i create de folder but when navigate through the mp3 there are all mixted up , is there a way to get them separate in folders?
THX

For MEGA stick 511 (all capacity versions) you can divide your mp3s to as many folders as you want but when you navigate through them from the MEGA Stick menu they will be all together but they are in the order that you put the folders. first the mp3s from the first folder, second the mp3s from the second folder etc.. the problem is that the mp3s are all in a row so if you want to go to the mp3s of the second folder you must one by one go to the first fong of the second folder.
Sory for my english! i am terrible!!! please anyone who understands what i am writting repost it in real english!

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...
Thanks yo your help.

MSI Mega Stick 511 Lite (without FM) 128MB won't skip songs

I just bought a MSI Mega Stick 511 Lite (without FM) 128MB. I am unable to skip to the next song when playing. I can fast forward the song but it won't let me skip to the next song. Does anyone have a similar experience or know the solution ?

I think it might be that i held the menu button too long. A quick flick to the left or right (letting go quickly) seems to make it work. P.S. The firmware upgrade to version 3 is good coz there is now a playlist option.

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)

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!!

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.

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.

Mega Stick 1 dictating machine noise

When writing a sound from the built-in microphone observed sufficiently loud stranger rhythmical noise. I tried to change RECORD RATE - no effect, changing the frequency to 48000Hz noise in the addition becomes whistling. Connection of external microphone also does not solve a problem. Can owners of this unit tell their impressions - beside them dictating machine works also or not?

Here are several examples of dictating machine record with noise (Mega Stick 1 MS-5511, firmware version 2.xx):
record of absolute silence, 22500Hz:
http://neversf.narod.ru/V011.wav
record of human speech, 8000Hz:
http://neversf.narod.ru/samp001.wav
record of mobile phone ring, 22500Hz:
http://neversf.narod.ru/V010.WAV
P.S. try to increase volume during playback

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

did you use the correct firmware file for your MegaStick 528, as there are two different variations?
