SonicStage 4.3 Ultimate Edition

From valued forum member Avrin's topic, SonicStage 4.3 "Ultimate" Release 2:

Since the "Ultimate" 4.3 version seems to have gained quite a popularity, and appears to be less glitchy than any previous one, I decided to build a second release. This is purely a cosmetic update.

What's changed from the first release:

1. Updated Registry Information Setup is used now. This doesn't affect minidisc functionality in any way, but may add support for some newer ATRAC phones (you still need to provide the respective drivers).
2. The link to Minidisc Community Forums in the Help menu is replaced with a link to Sony Insider Forums.
3. Installation package extraction path is no longer saved to registry.
4. Windows Installer 2.0 distribution package is not included.

The complete list of changes from the official VAIO version (including changes introduced in the first release):

1. System prerequisites from Microsoft (Windows Installer 2.0, DirectX 9.0c, Windows Media Format 9, Windows Media Format 9.5, Data Access Components 2.5) are not included.
2. OpenMG Secure Module version 5.0 with the respective Registry Information is used instead of the original patched version 4.7.
3. Sony CONNECT Store support is no longer installed.
4. SonicStage Security Update is installed automatically.
5. Latest Personal Audio Drivers for SONY devices are installed automatically.
6. The VAIO support link in the Help menu is replaced with a link to Sony Insider Forums.

NOTE: If you have applied the experimental SonicStage patch 4.3.02 for Vista/Windows 7, you'll need to re-apply it after installation.
NOTE 2: If you need NetMD, you will probably have to install one of the drivers in the downloads section, as the older drivers have some different problems. In particular, if (as for many people) the system is Windows-64-bits, you will need the driver NETMD760, and you will need to undo some of the drivers installed by the SonicStage setup. If you have an MZ-RH1, you are especially warned to install that driver or its 32-bit cousin NETMD052.SYS (also under downloads) on every NetMD device.

Thanks to FreddyJollo for this image requested several times on the forums. It is the ISO for the Sharp MD software called Beat Jam. I don't know any more about it than that.
Good luck to y'all. You will still need, most likely the NetMD 64-bit drivers NETMD760.SYS available elsewhere in downloads.

SonicStage3.4.zip

By sfbp

File imported by an administrator. Uploaded at the request of a member because of some strange problem with NW-HD5. Not recommended for most purposes, especially with current versions (7 and 8) of Windows. More restrictions on content transfer than with later versions of SS.

MCREWM333.zip

By sfbp

This is the guts of the special disk needed to install and run MCrew on the CMT-M333NT and CMT-M373NT. It should also work for the CMT-C7NT. Running InstallDlg.exe or the setup.exe in the M_Crew. However the USB Audio driver (pclkusb.sys v.1.1) requires pre-installation (i.e. before turning on the M333).

The Sonic Stage installation originally on the disk has been omitted as it is a dire relic of the days when restrictions on NetMD were almost total. You should install the latest Sonic Stage, although it's not clear if any of the NetMD drivers there will work. For Win64 the NetMD driver (NETMD760.SYS) in this downloads section will work. Shortly the Win32 driver INF file will be posted too (the version which will work with all "known" units) that loads NETMD052.SYS.

Included also on the disc is the Label Maker 5.1 that people have asked for. However this has not (yet) been uploaded.
