List of units

This is a list that shows individual units that people have purchased and whether they support the .BIN format or not, in an effort to find out which units does and which does not.

I added a firmware column. It would be good if you could dump your unit's firmware, upload it somewhere and link it here, so we could investigate and people with wrongly flashed units could use them to repair them. --ZenitraM 10:17, 23 July 2008 (UTC) "Support the .BIN format" isn't so clear-cut, I've got a sku.10238 and the .bins seem to freeze the device, but with Sprite's demo-0.1 the keyboard loop actually works and you can quit from the freeze by pressing a button. The midi doesn't play, but I verified that the binary is running and keyboard reading works by compiling a version with a check for keymap[1] != 0x8000, which causes the software to exit the "freeze" only by pressing Ok, while other buttons are ignored. So it seems that .bins could indeed work in all devices where they are visible when copied to the game directory, but firmware version differences or something else is causing variations in e.g. the os call mappings, which causes graphics/audio/etc. to fail? (my fw version reads 05-01-2008 too, though :-/)
Unit Purchase date Chipset Firmware info Support .BIN FW dump Other notes
Walmart Canada June 2010 SPMP3052a V321.5678 YES ? Look familure? The documentation doesn't mention that it playes NES games, but they do work.
DealExtreme SKU.1579 January 2009 ? ? NO ? It plays only NES games at a reasonable speed, has a camera, no FM and no clock. I dumped the firmware which I may upload later.


[1] August 2008 SPMP3052a v321.5678 YES [2] Supports NES, GB, GBC and .BIN games! No FM or Clock. (this on board PMP-704-v23.00). I have one more with board PMP-704-v21.00 which plays only NES games!!
Dealextreme 10238 July 2008 SPMP3052a ? NO ? Only supports NES games. BIN appear in menu but freeze when you try to launch them.
DealExtreme 12354 June 2008 ? ? NO ? Didn't show anything except NES games in the menu
Dealextreme 10238 July 2008 ? 05-01-2008 NO ? Show BIN games and GB games in menu, but fails when you try to run them (the GB game I tried changes the system font the first time I try it, and crashes the unit the second time; BIN games freeze the unit, blank the screen or report 'bad format')
Dealextreme 10238 July 2008 SPMP3052a 05-01-2008 NO ? Similar problems to above report for this player; BIN files crash. Internally identical to photos in Serial_Port, except with white plastic LCD frame instead of black --pelrun
Dealextreme 10238 28-04-2008 SPMP3052a 05-01-2008 YES ? I think the report above may be from a different hw revision or perhaps faulty hard/firmware: the device worked fine for me and I used it to develop mp4pong on.
Dealextreme 10238 24-07-2008 SPMP3052a V4.01.080611 No [3] I put all the bins in the games folder, and they don't show up in the games menu. But I did open it up, and it does have the SPMP3052a chip inside.

Also, the av cable they shipped with it didn't fit in the av socket of the player. --Phire

Dealextreme 9504 December 2007 SPMP3050a ? NO ? Bought 4 players, 3 of them had a SPMP3050a, had RTC clock enabled, no BIN games..--ZenitraM 10:17, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
Dealextreme 9504 December 2007 SPMP3052a ? YES Here ..but the 4th one played them. No RTC, BIN games, GB/GBC games supported, firmware had a blue background. Unit is slightly different as the one pictured (different side buttons size)--ZenitraM 10:17, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
Dealextreme 9554 August 2008 ? ? YES ? I also have a 10238 that seems to be the same as Phire's, above.--simonb
Dealextreme 10238 August 2008 SPMP3052a V4.01.080611 NO ? Only supports NES games. BIN do not appear in the menu. Opening the device revealed that it has 8 MB RAM (133 MHz SD-RAM with 16 bit bus). The PCB Version is "HL-SM301-V2.0-20080504". You can find a few images of the inner parts of the device on my user page. --Wejp
Geeks.com MP4-GAME-BLK 2007 SPMP3050a ? NO ? Can't get it to go into USB ISP mode with any combination of keys. Will only recognise .NES games. I tried every three letter file extension possible by using the BASH command:

for a in {A..Z} ; do for b in {A..Z} ; do for c in {A..Z} ; do name=TEST.$a$b$c ; touch /media/disk-1/GAME/$name ; done ; done ; done

(Where /media/disk-1/ was where my SD card was mounted). Only TEST.NES was listed in the games menu of the player. --techt
