Categories Sony MZ-N505, Microsoft Windows 10

Since there are no official x64 drivers for the Sony MZ-N505 for Windows 10, the installation of the drivers require some different steps. These steps might also work for Windows 11, but I have not tested this myself.

What you need:
  • Sony MZ-N505 (or similair)
  • Minidisc disc
  • Mini USB cable
  • Computer with Windows 10 installed
  • Zadig
  • Platinum MD
  • Some of your favourite music in mp3 format
What you do:
  1. Connect the Sony MZ-N505 to the computer using a USB Mini cable.
  2. Download Zadig and run the executable.
  3. Make sure Net MD Walkman is selected
  4. Install the WinUSB driver.
  5. Download and install Platinum MD next.

Platinum MD should now be able to detect the device and write music to the disc in it.

There finally is a working stable release of Little Piggy Tracker on the Miyoo Mini Plus! Although the volume of sound on this device sucks ass, it’s just loud enough to somewhat work with it.

  1. Download the latest release of LGPT for your Miyoo device on from https://github.com/djdiskmachine/LittleGPTracker/releases/.
  2. Unzip the file.
  3. Create a folder with the name LGPT.pak and copy the files from bin in there.
  4. In the LGPT.pak folder, create a Samples and a Tracks folder (you can copy the demo song to Tracks).
  5. Edit the next two lines in the config.xml file (located in LGPT.pak) into the following:
    <ROOTFOLDER value="/mnt/SDCARD/Tools/miyoomini/LGPT.pak/Tracks"/>
    <SAMPLELIB value="/mnt/SDCARD/Tools/miyoomini/LGPT.pak/Samples"/>
  6. Mount the micro SD card to the computer.
  7. Copy the LGPT.pak folder to the Tools folder on your SD card.
  8. Done!

You can now unmount the SD card and put it back into your Miyoo Mini Plus.
To launch the application, go to Tools and open LGPT.
