DannyUK Senior Member Registered: 12/09/99 Posts: 1130	Hi JM, No, there should be just the one file after you extract it called: PSR-SX900SETUP.PRG Is that not what you see? I got the download from here: https://uk.yamaha.com/files/download/software/2/1285152/psr-sx900_v103.zip Edited by DannyUK (10/30/19 06:52 PM)

Good luck Hi Donny, Now that is weird. Yamaha has a compatibility list , nothing over 32 gig. I had a Sandisk ultra fit 128 gig, must have been the S950 I tried it in, wouldn’t recognise it, just tried it in the SX, it formatted , and appears to save styles. So thank you, not that I’d probably ever use that amount of data on sx, but, better than having it sitting in a draw. _________________________ best wishes Rikki 🧸 Korg PA5X 88 note SX900 Band in a Box 2022

I ended up copying the extracted folder with the file inside to USB as well as just the file itself. The sx read one of them, just not sure which was the correct one. Wondering if all Extract programs are the same? _________________________ best wishes Rikki 🧸 Korg PA5X 88 note SX900 Band in a Box 2022

Gunnar Jonny Senior Member Registered: 04/01/01 Posts: 4402 Loc: Norway	I just downloaded the zipfile to see, (psr-sx900_v103.zip) , and the only file inside the zip is: PSR-SX900SETUP.PRG Thats the only file needed for the update, and shall be copied into the root of the USB stick. https://europe.yamaha.com/en/support/updates/firm_psr-sx900.html Edit: Sorry to repeat the posts above, did not see page 2 at this thread before I posted my reply.

BUT the file folder limitation on Yamaha is ridiculously low on the S models it was 499 files per folder which was a big pain when you have a few thousand songs, smf, mp3, lyrics etc, and have to keep switching folders to see them ...this needs to be fixed ...

Hi Donny, wondering if maybe that’s why they only list USB sticks up to 32 gigs. Anything over might just be a total waste of space. P.s great news Mitch , that you finally got it sorted. _________________________ best wishes Rikki 🧸 Korg PA5X 88 note SX900 Band in a Box 2022

Wondering if all Extract programs are the same? Hi Rikki, As far as I know, it should be the 1 file. The one I downloaded didn't get extracted into a folder it was just the straight .prg file that I coped onto the root of the USB stick and the SX900 picked it up straight away. I used WinRAR to extract the file contents but perhaps some others creates a folder as well, which actually is a good thing in case there are many files being extracted all over the place so it keeps it tidy. As long as it's placed in the root of the USB in the end then it will work.

Thank you Danny, must be the extraction software I used, haven’t got a clue what it is, but it insisted on a folder to extract into. I had read and reread the instructions half a dozen times and they didn’t match what was happening with my file. In the end I copied the file itself plus the folder with the file inside onto USB and hoped one or the other would work. It did thank goodness. At least next time I know to just let the extraction program do it’s own thing and I just need to copy the file.itself. _________________________ best wishes Rikki 🧸 Korg PA5X 88 note SX900 Band in a Box 2022
