Who dares win! MSI™ MEGA PC is now available!
A mini infotainment station that breaks new horizon for multimedia PC
By revolutionizing the application and environment of traditional multimedia PCs, MSI™ will announce the MEGA PC series this March at CeBIT 2003 in Hanover, Germany. MEGA PC is a full-function multimedia PC that combines information and entertainment to offer hi-fi stereo, DVD/VCD, MP3, TV and high-performing computer functions in an infortaining component with novel appearance.
As revealed in its name, MEGA (MSI™ Entertainment Gaming Appliance) satisfies the needs of both power and game users for infotainment with various multimedia functions and high-performing calculation function. The integrated AGP 8x display and real-time 3D functions that ensure perfect video and calculation make this Pentium 4 based component ahead of ordinary PCs, so that users can enjoy uninterrupted fun of 3D PC games.
To provide higher flexibility for users, MSI™ MEGA PC will launch the market in barebones, so that users can choose CPUs, RAM and hard drives according to their real needs. With the wide range of accessories for MEGA PC including streamlined wireless remote controller, a pair of 5.2 channel hi-fi speakers, wireless keyboard, wireless mouse, and AM/FM antenna, users can build their own home theater with just an MEGA PC to enjoy quality DVD pictures and hi-fi stereo from the 5.1 channel speakers.
Instead of the conventional LCM panel, MEGA PC offers the revolutionary cold light panel to display the mode (MP3, CD and AM/FM), status (time and track information) and EQ mode (classical, jazz, pop, etc.) of the hi-fi stereo, in order to blend MEGA PC to your daily life. Moreover, the 6-in-1 card reader (or floppy disk drive) equipped under the LCM panel allows you to connect digital cameras and multimedia devices to browse pictures, data and files directly on the MEGA PC. The cache control panel at the bottom of MEGA PC even offers a wide range of I/O interfaces, including USB2.0, IEEE 1394, MIC, phones, and fiber SPDIF, so that you can connect to more digital platforms and devices.
MSI™ MEGA PC will be announced at CeBIT this March. Either the brilliant orange MEGA PC based on SiS 651 chipset or the cold green MEGA PC based on VIA KM400 chipset will offer the Plus version (with onboard TV and 6-in-1 card reader functions) to satisfy your needs for infotainment.

MSI Mega Sky Aerial

Hi just wondering if anyone knows if the MSI Mega Sky Aerial is weather proof.....
please reply.

Yes, i have coverage. I wrote, that with default aerial i have around 65/15 signal. I am few km (maybe 5km) from broadcaster (i found thiw word in dictionary, hope is ok) and i can see it (no obstacles in way).
As i wrote, if i use default antenna, i have bad signal, so sometimes i have drop-outs and "colored squares".
If i use any other antenna, signal is worst than bad, can't tune anything.
Of course i tryed moving with aerial, every place when aerial can stand.. I am trying this around 3 months!
I asked in some local forum, if anyone tested dvbt here. They answered to me something like this: yes, works perfectly.
But noone have MegaSky 580 (some internal pci cards, pcmcia cards, some usb keys from pinnacle or hauppage or technisat or other), but few of them using same aerials, that i bought (smaller passive Technisat or bigger Technisat with ampfilier)!
So, from my eyes looks like MegaSky 580 is "not very successful product".
If you have any hint what other i can do, so say it. But i think i tryed anything.
And i'm not saying about horrible software called PrestoPVR - "Blue screen of death" is every day when i trying to use it..
I have one more thing. I found, that is two different models of MegaSky 580 (different producer or technology, different drivers, different sign).
First is "DTV USB MINI" and second is "PC-DTV Receiver". I have "DTV USB MINI".
If you don't trust me, look here (driver download): http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/driver/dvr/spt_dvr_detail.php?UID=624&kind=6
Maybe is "DTV USB MINI" model crap and MSI started to produce new version with differend technology..
Anyway, my MegaSky 580 is really unusable.
(p.s. sorry for my bad english, i'm not a native english speaker)

But it comes to normal when i plug it into my my housemate computer which is not using nf7-s mobo. I am wondering of how to solve this problem for long long time already. Can anyone tell me how to solve it? Even i had updated the firmware to the newest but the problems still occur.

MSI Mega 865 DVDRW Drive

Hello. Can you please tell me which DVD writer I need to buy for my MSI Mega 865. I want to add a DVD writer behind the panel and my third party Sony doesnt open the front panel. Do the MSI drives work OK. Thanks.

Hi williac10,
Though you are right in asking for a better alternate optical drive here but I think it'll be better if you ask the Mega PCs users in our Mega PCs, SFF PCs Forum .

i wish u can help me... i just want an easy way to PLAY VIDEOS on my player 536...
thnx...
waiting replyz...

5536 and 5540 can playback avi and .mov video files, but these files codec must be M-JPEG format!!
Please attention: 5536 didn’t playback MP4 or WMV video formats, and also couldn’t reveal these files!!
“Quick Time7 Pro” and ““Canopus ProCoder Demo v1.25” converting software can support 5536/5540 video format (M-JPEG) to playback, but “QuickTime7 Pro” isn’t free, you have to purchase it, and “Canopus ProCoder Demo v1.25” is free, but only can use 30 days. Please go to below website to download it and you have to register and login!!
(http://www.canopus.com/products/demos/index.php)
When you download “Canopus ProCoder Demo v1.25”, please modify file name to “ProCoderDemo_1_25.exe”, then this file just can become execution file, after installation you have to check video and audio codec, have a little trouble, I will explain how do set M-JPEG codec!!
When you perform “Canopus ProCoder” software, you will find out “Source”, “Target” and “Convert” selection, please go to “Source” and add which video you want to convert, next please go to “Target” and choose “Add” selection, then choose “QuickTime file” in the basic, after that, you will detect “Target Parameters” on the right, please according to below codec format to set, finally, please go to “Convert” selection to begin converting!!
Video setting:
Width: 320
Height: 240
Frame Rate(fps): 10.000
Interlacing: Non-Interlaced
Aspect Ratio: Video: [4:3], Pixel: [1:1]
Encoder: Apple Photo JPEG or Apple Motion JPEG A
Codec options: Click for Codec Properties
Audio setting:
Channels: Stereo
Sample Rate(kHz): 11.025
Bits / Sample: 16
Encoder: 16-bit Big Endian
Codec options: Click for Codec Properties
By the way, You can select another sample rate parameter on the audio setting, but you can only choose 10.000 frame rate (fps) on the video setting, this value will influence whether can playback after converting video, so this setting is very importantly!!
Please try again!!

How to install BDA-drivers correctly to MSI Mega Sky 580 dvb-receiver

Hi,
I tried to use MSI Mega sky 580 dvb-receiver with DVBViewer program. It should work because both have bda-driver support. But DVBViewer says "No hardware found". I think the problem is that the bda-drivers of the MSI stick are not installed correctly. I have downloaded the newest drivers and installed them. I read in a forum that the bda-drivers must be installed separatelly in device manager. I tried but it didn't work. I have Windows XP pro, AMD athlon XP 2600+ and Asus A7N8X-E motherboard. Presto-player works well.

I’m not sure what do you mean.
The product I have is this: http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/multimedia/mut/pro_mut_detail.php?UID=615
And the drivers I used can be found here: http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/download/dld/spt_dld_detail.php?UID=624&kind=6
Actually I’m not sure which driver is the right one. Please ask if any relevant information is missing.

MSI Mega 180 problems

Hello all, i'm quite stuck on something and need some help.
I have recently purchased an MSI Mega 180 deluxe and installed an pioneer a07 dvd writer in there, for some reason it won't let me burn cd's in audio cd format from wav files, which i need for my music studio.
Also i constructed an external case to put an internet pioneer a03 dvd writer and did the same process and believe it or not i was able to burn a audio cd, so not sure what the problem is, could the msi mega 180 dislike my newer model of pioneer, or is the pioneer on it's way out, which i find strange as it's newer and quite new.
I use nero to burn most of my cd's or dvd's which had no problem with when the dvd writer was on another desktop, it seems to get up to 26% and just freezes there, which the buffer level not moving at all.
Hope someone can help, thanks

Sounds like all of your drivers are not up to date....
Here's what M$ has to say about it (shamelessly copied and pasted from another different website/board post).
Stop 0x000000D1 or DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
The Stop 0xD1 message indicates that the system attempted to access pageable memory using a kernel process IRQL that was too high. Drivers that have used improper addresses typically cause this error.
Interpreting the Message
This Stop message has four parameters:
Memory referenced.
IRQL at time of reference.
Type of access (0x00000000 = read operation, 0x00000001 = write operation).
Address that referenced memory.
Resolving the Problem
For additional troubleshooting suggestions that apply to all Stop errors, see "Stop Message Checklist" later in this appendix.
Stop 0xD1 messages can occur after installing faulty drivers or system services. If a driver is listed by name, disable, remove, or roll back that driver to confirm that this resolves the error. If so, contact the manufacturer about a possible update. Using updated software is especially important for backup programs, multimedia applications, antivirus scanners, DVD playback, and CD mastering tools.
For more information about Stop 0xD1 messages, see the Microsoft Knowledge Base link on the Web Resources page at http://www.microsoft.com/windows/reskits/webresources. Search using keywords winnt, 0x000000D1, and 0xD1.
Update Drivers
Updated and comaptiable drivers are very important when running XP. Check your hardware with the HCL http://www.microsoft.com/hcl If you hardware is not on the list it does not mean it won't work it just means it hasn't been tested by Microsoft and they won't Guarantee it to be compatible. If it not on the list check the manufacturer's website fo an up to date XP driver, if they don't have one you may be out of luck. This goes for motherboards and the bios too.

MSI MEGA 533 with FM Radio won't connect on USB! Brand new from a box !!!

hello,
i'm having trouble connecting MSI MEGA 533 with FM Radio, on usb port on my computer.
I've tried to connect it on USB 2.0 port on laptop and desktop computer, with MS Windows XP SP2 installed, nothing happens. When I start player it works like a charm, i can listen to radio stations, record radio station, and record voice, but when i try to connect it to USB via cable from a box nothing happens.
I've tried to downgrade it to firmware version from cd, with a standard procedure, hold play button, start download software, connect via usb cable, and the player is not detected by computer.
PLEASE if there is a way you can help post your reply as soon as possible.
Thanks

Hi gagac
Try uninstalling the current driver on your computer and download the following driver.
http://rapidshare.de/files/20262928/MS5533.zip.html
This driver is a backup copy that I uploaded on rapidshare from my Original CD Rom that came with my player & I know that it works with firmware v1.00.06.
What I find is unusual is that you got firmware v1.00.06 on your player straight out of the box as it usually comes with v1.00.01 or v1.00.02.
If the above driver doesn't work, and since that you have Windows XP, you may want to try upgrading to firmware v2.00.02. NOTE: You will need to also download driver v1.672 from the MSI Website as this is the only driver that works with v2.00.02.
CARE: You may want to read the below topic first before upgrading to v2.00.02 as there have been some issues concerning driver v1.672 & v2.00.02.

MOVED: Need help with msi mega 180 + athlon xp-m combo

This topic has been moved to Overclockers & Modding Corner.
Need help with msi mega 180 + athlon xp-m combo

AFAIK, you shouldn't need a pinmod for a Mobile Athlon XP CPU to work in a nforce2 mobo
did you have any other CPU installed prior to this one? if so, refer here to clear the CMOS: Clear CMOS Guide
next, refer to your manual, or download from MSI, for location of the FSB jumpers; ensure J8 is shorted across pins 1-2, and J7 is shorted
finally, enter your BIOS setup menu, and under Advanced Chipset Features, set CPU FSB to 133mhz (or even 166mhz if you have DDR333 memory). the only thing i can't see in the Mega 180 manual is where you set the multiplier...
which is where the BIOS has limited overclocking features, and you might have a problem here
i think i'll pass this over to the Overclockers forum, where someone may be able to give a better answer....

MSI MEGA PC parts

Hello, I just got a MSI mega pc and I was wondering what i needed to buy to make it work. I heard you can only buy msi made optical drives to work in the multimedia mode, is that true? I bought a MSI D16 16x dvd drive, would that work? I can't seem to find the cdrw-dvd combo drive anywhere yet, do you have a link for that? I can't find a good tv tuner card either, I saw a msi mega tv tuner card and also 2 tv anywhere cards from msi, which one should I get? And which video card should I get? I'm looking at the msi vtdr-5600 because it is cool and quiet, which is good for the mini pc, but I don't really need a tv in if I'm going to get a tv tuner, do I? Thanks

Hey, thanks for the reply, so i should be able to use any cd drive to work the cd player and mp3 right? Since i don't need the video in if i'm getting the tv card, what video card should i get? I want something that I can play games on but also quiet and not too hot, any suggestions? I also bought corsair 512 pc3200 memory, the MEGA only uses 2700 i think, will the pc3200 work with it? Can i also put a 2.4 800mhz bus hypertreaded cpu and use it at 2.4? The MEGA only has a 533 bus, which hyperthreaded cpu's can be used? Thanks

MSI Mega 865 TV-out card

I am ordering an MSI 865 Deluxe this week and will use it with my TV. Unfortunately I have been told that the MSI Mega TV-out card will not be available in our country.
Does anyone know or use other brands of PCI TV-out cards with their Mega PC?

I would also recommend a converter, here is an example of what you are looking for.
http://www.ascent.co.nz/mn-product-spec.asp?pid=108377
More reasons for this are no drivers and Macrovision will work. If you use a gforce and try using the TV out most DVD playing software will stop, this will not happen with a conveter.
The Graphics are not the quickest on the 865 but tend to do the job.

MSI Mega 865 PRO???

Lookie lookie, the next Mega has been unveiled:
http://msices2005.vtion.com/
They're revamping the faceplate, moving the knob and buttons to the right side. Also, it includes a 7-in-1 reader, with new support for MMC cards. It looks like they're finally including a wireless-G card. Most intesting is the claim of "Home Theatre Without Windows". They use different wording on the site than for the Hi-Fi mode of the 180's and normal 865's, which implies that this machine would be able to play movies without booting Windows.
Judging from MSI Athletic Support, they'll probably shaft us with specs to its display and remote too.

i own a MSI Mega 865..and im happy with it..but i never turn the thing off...
so the Radio/CD/MP3 player...and if i waited and got the 865pro...even the DVD player on the would be of absolutely no use to me!
if this wants to be a real all-in-one HTPC...i would really need a few things :
firstly ...DVB card with BDA support.....
secondly ....the on-board graphics must be fully DX9 compliant..including the freaking drivers...and be more than 16MB onboard-VRAM...i would like DirectxVideoAccelleration, VMR9 and HardWareMotionCompenstation support ..which i belive are currently only on the radeon and nVidia FX and later cards
next we need more than just VGA and s-video....we also need DVI-in/out...and while your at it MSI..give us component too
i belive the SPDIF 5.1 in and out are an absolute must and it should stay...the more channels the better
as it stands i had to fork out a whole lot more money to get this the way i wanted it...this MSI *WAS* really a barebones HTPC....but since i finished building it im very happy with it
