Hi

the FW is better but the PBS still dont work very well, PBS movies still gives many gliches, If you can repair this will be great.

The firmware is far good, but treu its not 100%
some movies could freez

I cannot repair it but Temi and RistoE are stil busy to make it better
and i read NewAge has also plans to make a new Yamada 6600

if more news comes i let you know

AC

insted they use the newage v15 they could use the [MTZ V15 - cHiEsa Mod V2] version (is based in newagev15) because:

it seems the subtitles bug .srt and .idx/sub (the dvd dont read correct the microseconds and for that sometimes the subtitles disapear to fast) is corrected.

and 42 characters bug is corrected (the subtitles will work if the subtitles name is bigger than 42 characters)

Hi

alwaysconnected can you test this please

It seems that none dvd shloud be able to play GMC with more than 1 warpoint, but I test a movie with 2 warpoints and the movie works well (only some gliches hapend because the PBS), can you test this please and with 3 warpoints to, because if this works the player will stay great. (I think I use the apex b6 - and the dvd used was a denver 228)

If you have a movie with 3 warppoints ?

i want to check it

Redcat, I think it is normal for the players to play GMC with 2 warp points. 3 warp points is when all players have problems. And we're talking about XviD, right?

If you have a movie with 3 warp points and it plays perfectly, it will be something revolutionary!

I dont have any divx with 3 warpoints.

The normal is only play 1 warpoint, 2 warpoint is suposed dont work in any fw

I stand corrected. That's right, it's 2 warp points, or more, that don't work with XviD. And I can tell you that they don't work with this one either. I happen to have run the DivXtest CD v1.1 and both XviD GMC tests fail.

Another thing: you mention DivX, the problem is with XviD and GMC not with DivX and GMC. DivX and GMC has no problems.

Hi, i am from Croatia and I need help. I have Yamada 6600 with "Yamada6600_1250_v15_Mtz" firmware. How can I update my player to read movies with SUB. I am download "http://koti.mbnet.fi/teevar/tiedostot/APEX-YAMA_B7.zip" and I burn zdvx6600 on cd (finalizing cd, disk at once, 8x). When I put this cd in player it says : No disc or Unknown disc. I also download ProCaster_v2 (zdvx2410) but I got the same message. What can I do?
Please, help !

dalibor download this RAR
in this RAR is an iso
burn the iso with nero, fireburner or any other tool
burn it on a CDR(w)
and have fun greats AC

http://home.planet.nl/~feer0011/yamadaV15+...sub+TXT+SUB.rar

Again message "Unknown disc". I burn the iso on a CD-R at 4x and again the same message. What can I do?
Maybe I must remove the last upgrade and then put the new iso, but how?

I suceed. I burn the iso with Alcohol 120% and it works. Now read .SUB and .TXT subtitles.
Thank you, alwaysconnected.

Good
i am cery glad to hear it worked

Finally...A firmware that supports packed bitstream..I installed it this morning and it worked great job thanks...One very bad thing I have noticed..When I go to FF the avi, it crashes the machine?? Any ideas?

Keep up the good work

yup is wierd problem
yesterday i had a AVI the did not work normal in normal play
when i played it in 2times FF it works normal
we need to wai for a new bug free version

on some AVI the player can freeze an give a wierd noise
also on some avi the sound is Good and the movie is slow
after few secons all normal

Same here Alwaysconnected.

I played one yesterday and the sound just got stuck. So I had to turn the machine on and off. If it can be done with the 6700 (which I also have and works very well now with packed bitstream), surely it can be done with the 6600.

Any idea which group will release the new firmware? I hope they do soon

NewAge is going to look in december to the new thing
I hope Temi en RistoE going to fix something

We just need to wait

I recently upgrade my yamada 6600 with APEX-YAMA_B7 firmware and PB is working fine.
My question to all of you is:
Is it possible to make code page 1250 version of this firmware?

If that is not possible can you just tell me which tool was used to make fonts for this firmware. I tried to modify fonts with MtkFontCreator but canged fonts looked misshapen when I started my player.

This firmware has some specific requirements for the fonts it uses. I'm not 100% sure this is the only requirement, but I think you should choose "NEW compatibility mode" option (near the button where you save the font). That will help.

For whatever reason (bug?) sometimes, some characters are still wrong. If this happens, try to change the font size, by increasing or decreasing it by 1. It appears to solve the problem with the troublesome fonts. Another thing: when you insert the font, with MTKRemaker, don't worry if they look weird. In principle, it's no problem, they will work on the player. I think it's a bug in MTKRemaker, with this "NEW Compatibility mode".

Good luck and let us know how it worked for you.

Just to let you know that i sent to NA a new firmware with the new Risk 5.0.5.1 (but only with 2 arm parts) from this player

https://www2.setssl.com/~hivizone/dvdplayer/main_frame.htm

and this firmware is for 8MB players!

If you can import he arm/Risc part´s i don´t know. If yes, maybe it will work in 8Mb 6600.

I don´t have news from NA except that this is a 8mb firmware because is very busy right now.

Regards

so perhaps we are lucky

v15_SUB_SRT_TXT_XSUB_PBS
Great job. Thanks.
What I tryed to do is change font 7-10 for subtitles into 1250 code, but I was unsuccessful. Tell me why please. Fonts are strange or coded or i dont know.

You've got to use MTKFOntcreator (latest release, 0.6.2) and save with the "New mode". And you've got to be lucky that all characters will be OK. If they aren't, try to change the font a little bit, like adding or subtracting 1 to their size.

Thanks for your help. I´ll try that. I hope i´ll be succesfull.

Hello

Here is modified FIRMWARE for YAMADA6600 s PBS,SUB,TXT,XSUB.

GREAT I FINALLY MADE IT.

YAMADA6600

I think somethings goes wrong
File not found if you need space
attach the file in the forum
or email it to me i put it on my ftp space

What is the base for this firmware? Is it Temi/RistoE beta7?

Thanks for posting firmware..But the link is dead?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
thats what i want to tell you ppl

Thanks for link Always Connected.

I am not sure model 6600 I have 4mb or 8mb? I mangaged to download the rar from the link meg sent installed it but seems to have the same issues as the original firmware posted in this thread. eg Bitstream works but when you fast forward the machine crashes

I looked that the firmware always connected posted above and found it a bit scary due to it stated 8mb only and needed serial cable! So Ill leave that one alone

Ill keep checking back to this thread for news and updates fingers crossed

also news for the 4mb players

--------------------
I task that this Risc block is one development of the RISC Yamada6700
For the player with 4 Mb of DRAM we to wait for what to make Yakumo in future.
-----------------------------------

so progress

I check it and it seem to be OK for me now. Try it please again. RAR is correct too.
Let me know if it´s still bad.
By

I see file was changed (ISO image date 21.11. vs 3.11.2005) ...why and what was changed...I missed history log and last update info in that page.

Hello everyone,

Afrer reading many topics on many forums on many languages i finaly did this.

I flashed my yamada 6600 with this firmware http://yamada6600.wz.cz

As I live in Croatia code page 1250 is useful for subtitles that I rarely use but I want to use them if I file like using.

Firmware seems to be OK (However I didn't test it thoroughly)
Noticed that even player reckognize 2 subtitles in folder , regardless of which one has been set in the menu it always shows the same one , probably the one that has the same name as avi file.


What I Noticed and I was hoping is lack of SUPPORT for OGG audio and maybe NERO DIGITAL.



I wonder if someone for example MTZ can incorporate those features in yamada 6600 firmware and make it bootable from CD:)


For people who installed united 4070 Pavonio V5 can you tell me precisely how did you do it ? By cable or by CD. The site is in Italian and I do not undersatnd a word , It says something about burning procedure wizh nero. But I find that mtk.bin is file for mediatek flasher prorgam over serial cable .Is that right.

Besides there is something more that I do not understand. I read that YAMADA 6600 has Mediatek "DE" chipset.. On the site of the firmware http://www.versiliaweb.net/united4070/index.htm is says it is for Mediatek 1389FE.That confuses me a bit.

alwaysconnected You say you have installed it.How and does it work completely.

MTZ , if you as an expert can say a few words I would appreciate it very much:)

Merry Christmass to everyone..

I don't have this player, so I can not mod this firmware. The best in firmware mods is New Age. He is not member in this forum but AlwaysConnected can bring the latest news about this player.
Personally I think this player is old, and with 40-60 euro you can buy a new one which is better. Now you have experience, you know where and what to search for the best player.

enjoy,
Mtz

Well It may be old, but it would be nice that people who have it have at least ogg audio support.

Mtz, I don't know why but i thought you had yamada 6600 ,maybe because of firmwares you made for it.

Alwaysconnected , do you have any info for me?

New Age made the v4 for yamada 6700

and he wrote some time ago this


Currently I have my shedule regarding mediatek firmware mod releases:

Yamada 6700 this one is done

Xoro HSD400 Pro (for 2 servo version)
Philips DVP720SA
Philips LX3900SA
Yamada 6600

So I don't know when will I reach the time when I can start the Y6600 mod. For 4MB players there is a fine RISC (3 arm codes) with lot of features and for 8MB players seems like this new generation RISC with Nero Digital support works just fine.
-------------------------------------
So i think he is now on the other things
I keep you ppl informed
---------------

I did not installed that united 4070 Pavonio V5
i only installed the Temi mod made on the version mentioned in the earlier post

Thanks guys,

I have opened mine 6600 today...Took a photo as well, I see 2 chips above mediatek chip so I guess this one is with 8 MB of memory.




However, I'm new in this , and do not understand what "RISC" is. It's a pity I do not have any cable prepared yet:)

http://www.my-yamada.co.uk/phpBB/viewtopic...7&highlight=8mb

the numbers for 8mb version are:
is425s16400a 7t
g0301100n 0348

q2160915

at 5665h
t3b17d

mt1389de
0351-ams
d0pwm
-----------------------------
any other numbers you have an 4mb

Diffreent chips inside (is425s16400-7t)...Maybe i should look for datasheet or info about it.



Edit:

have found data sheet and I have 2 chips but only 4 MB of ram. (Each chip is 2 MB)is425s16400-7t

...
unlike yours "is425s16400a 7t" where 8MB is just in one chip.

had bad audio video desynchronization on one divx 3.1 CD with firmware:http://yamada6600.wz.cz/.

changed with Mtz Yamada6600_1250_v15_Mtz.This one work pefect with the same divx file.
http://mtz.softpedia.com/index.php?option=...atid=2&Itemid=4

still waiting for ogg, think I may need a cable:)

So does http://home.planet.nl/~feer0011/yamadaV15+...sub+TXT+SUB.rar handle .sub AND .srt ?
At the moment I'm using NewAge v15 from http://mtz.softpedia.com/index.php?option=...w&catid=2&id=33 . Is the upgrade worthed?

One other thing: I use K3B under Linux. Are there any problems writing the ISO from the RAR archive?

Thanks.

if you have a yamada 6600 (4mb player) it works good i heard
if you ahve a yamada 6600 (8mb player) it freezes and crashed a lot, also can give a wierd noise.

if you donnot have an iso burner @ linux

you can extract exe iso in sie are 2 file
dummy and bin

the bin is the firmware, the dummy is not always nescessary but i recommedn to burn.

if you have nero for linux you can burn it normal

So, after a great deal of consideration (and after I opened the box to make sure I have the 4 MB version) I have decided to go ahead. I burned the iso in K3B without any problems and dived in...
The update was... well, it was normal.
After the usual Defaults Reset and the 30 sec without electricity I fired up the player and everithing was ok. The .srt and the .sub worked ok, but there is no 1251 codepage available (only 1250 and 1252), and so the Romanian specific characters were replaced by their (ab)normal replacements.
So far, so good.

The plus: .sub subtitles (finally), nice subtitle options
The minus: background (if enabled) appears also for volume, no 1251 codepage, no .ogg (at least not yet, hopefully).

Question: when the firmware is remastered is it possible for the Search algorithm (Fast Forward, Rewind, etc.) to be changed from just {2X -> 4X -> 8X -> 16X -> normal} to also include the directional keys (up, down, left, right) just like mplayer or BSplayer uses {up -> skip forward 1 minute, right -> skip forward 10 sec, down -> skip backward 1 min, left -> skip backward 10 sec}?

you are very lucky to have a 4mb player
the file you download was only 1252 code page
temi en reistoE did not created an other version

the ogg is not implented
the background you can change with mtremaker
the otther things i can't test i only have the 8mb

but nice to hear it works good on your player

Well, I'm new in this but I can't understand that something does not work iwith 8MB of ram and it works with 4MB..

Not a regular situation in the world of computers, as the matter of fact it is opposite.

On the other side seems logical to me that there might me something that requires more ram and 4 MB is not enough.

Not the same situation in stand alone Divx/XVID plaxers?

i donnot get it either
but i read more and more ppl with 4mb can have more options then ppl with 8mb player

you would say 8mb can have more but this time its not true
damn you Yamada builder
