I'm sorry but it doesn't :( See here if I missed something:

You are correct, it does not. I can clearly see your DAP is connected but there is no icon. I can see the icon file and .inf files on the DAP root directory.

Did you edit the .inf file to reflect the name of the icon you want to appear?

Here's mine:

[autorun]
icon=A80xB.ico
label=Network Walkman NW-A806

Note the reference specifically to A80xB.ico, which is the black one. Also note I the text after the label=. You can call it whatever you want.

I think everything I've written above can be found on this board (perhaps not posted recently though). I first did this with my NW-407 a few years ago now. Maybe the instructions used to be included as a text file in the zip with the icons...

Yes i copy/pasted the name of the icon to the inf file has shown in the imagem. I tryed everything lol It's not essencial to show the icon.. I just wanted to see how it would look like. The strange is that the PSP gets a icon if it is registered in the PSP media manager but i can't do it manually. I think I'll ask someone to give me the files resulting of the PSP media manager registering, make the necessary changes and put on my walkman to see if it works. It's my last ideia lol

PM Ishiyoshi directly, mention you followed all the steps correctly (including re-booting) and see what advice he has.

Ha ha - I want to see what it looks like too. In fact, I'm going to try it right now, and I'll report back with time of failure

Time of failure: 23.37. . . I have exactly the same information in my device as GusG. I copied and pasted the files over, and edited the .inf as instructed. But I have to admit I don't know what I'm looking for! Where should the icon appear? On the unit itself???

sorry, see the next post

GusG - I got it to work finally but it seemed a bit long winded and deviated from the initial simple instructions! I edited the .inf file first - and then I saved it to the desktop. Then I dragged it over to the device along with the .ico file.

Then I rebooted and it showed up! I'd attach the screenshot but it's a Word doc and I can't make it anything else!

Try it again, if it finally worked for me, it must work for you too and the icon looks so cool

I find this icon business a bit time consuming and 'Hit and Miss' also. On the face of it, it is a very simple thing to do. I've had my devices 'iconed' for some time now but they have all decided not to work again over the past few days for no apparent reason.

Nothng here.. again.. I even changed the properties of the inf and icon files with no success :( Oh well I guess i'll just forget about it

Did you try it exactly like I said? And did you reboot?

Yes, I used the inf file from the Zip, edited the name of the icon in it and saved it and then copied to the root of the player. I've tried creating my own inf file, with and without the label field, i'v tried creating with the option of type as notebook and as all files. Nothing works :S and i've tried in diferent Pcs too.. Everything lol
