It stays forever unless you change firmware or uninstall it. Wampy does not affect it.
Sony Walkman custom firmware (non-Android)

The only other thing I can think of as far as a feature I’d like is eq presets, and being able to save eq profiles (ie, a clear audio+ preset) similar to how we can save radio stations on the fm radio. Otherwise wampy is perfect with Walkman one- between the two of you (Mr Walkman and unknown) I feel like these devices are functioning at their absolute peak- well beyond what Sony had given! Thank you both!

Is it possible to look at the Region codes and decipher what makes each region sound different?

Only a couple of regions matter; they change volume amplification parameters because of volume cap - https://www.head-fi.org/threads/the-eu-volume-cap-mystery.600111/.
I think that's what walkman one built-in sound settings option does. There is also eq/song option in wampy, which is somewhat similar.

Thanks for the github link it was interesting reading.https://www.head-fi.org/threads/sony-walkman-custom-firmware-non-android.943661/post-18559083

So until we can decipher that binary code that gets loaded, we have no idea on what the region codes other than MX3, CEW and TW do.

Man I am loving wampy+w1. Thank you guys again. If anyone has some really great sound settings configurations they have found, please dm them to me to try out! Lastly a question- how does that dmp-z1 device relate to a50 and wm1a etc?

The DMP-Z1 is a totally different beast. https://sonypremiumhome.com/mobile/signature-series/DMP-Z1.php

But software wise… what does that thing run?

It's variant of the Walkman OS but contains additional capabilities like DSD Remastering based on it's hardware capabilities

DMP-Z1 is shipped with same firmware as A30/40/50 / ZX300 / WM1A/Z. From software standpoint it is identical to WM1A/Z (or Walkman One) - same filters, same functions. DMP-Z1 also has no volume tables because of different amplifier chip (which one?). There is no way you could bring DMP-Z1 "sound signature" to another device, because the secret is in hardware, not software.
If you are talking about nvram contents from other devices, there is zero chance that it changes sound in any way.
Interface features (like recording) are questionable, but more or less figured out.
About inner workings of sound libraries - all they do is check for region and then apply sound limits so Sony won't get sued. WM1Z service manual explicitly says that setting wrong region by a service worker is a serious violation. Why would a region setting alter sound, for what purpose? It doesn't make any sense from any point of view, only legislative requirements.
At this point I say that all regions (aside from MX3, CEW and TW) do nothing; there is no code that says otherwise; there are no measurements except this one, which proves my findings.

Forgive my ignorance here, but looking at this, it seems like there should be more than just 6 master volume tables, even with deduplication?
ov_127x and ov_1291 tables are not in wampy- but from that uniq.txt they seem to be independent tables different from 1280, 1288 and 1290? I apologize for my confusion.

What an awesome time to be an owner of a WM1/A/ZX
It’s amazing too see all the different things you can do

All NW-A30 tables are for A30 stock only. These tables are not accepted by newer devices.
==========
Wampy v1.9.0
- added spectrum analyzer to Winamp
- removed "DB char count" button from Misc tab
- improved behaviour on tapping Winamp track time (more responsive, works faster)
- fixed memory leak on Winamp skin change related to track title background colour
- possible fix for system hang on start
- possible fix for crash on tapping the screen
- doc up
- refactoring
==========
Oops! We ran into some problems.

Wampy v1.9.1
- fixed off-by-one error causing last volume table element to be absent (like Tone Control, SAMP_NC31_NCHP)
- added import/export to CSV to volume table online editor

Just installed the v1.9.1 version on WM1A (stock fw) and when enabling tone control the device restarts. Tried it multiple times and having the same behaviour.
Did anyone experience this in any previous version?

1. Are you enabling tone control in wampy or standard interface?
2. Are you on latest stock firmware version (v3.02)?
That should not be happening. Check wampy/log directory for any files and attach them here in a zip archive please.
