    I used Rockbox on 2 of my iRiver H10 20GB MP3 player back in 2006, and it was AMAZING!! I had different themes, different games including rockdoom which is a modded version of the original Doom and the controls were easy and the game was so much fun! They even had crazy visualizers which was really cool when listening to music. Battery life wasn't that good so I had to uninstall Rockbox and install the H10's original firmware which I loved more in the end. Still was really awesome and I would definitely recommend trying it out if you have a couple of old iPods or MP3 Players laying around or if you have a couple flash modded iPod or MP3 Players! Great video! Brings back so many memories! :)

    Hey. If I want to use my iPod classic dual, do I need to add all music files twice? (Once via iTunes and once via drag&drop) to be received by either firmware? Or is one of the ways working for both?

  • @cobra727

    Жыл бұрын

    ok what do you mean by "dual", is this a duel flash board or duel booting os? For the first one that shouldn't matter, the Ipod just sees one drive. If you're talking about duel booting os, then I think that it only works one way, rockbox can read songs that itunes puts on the ipod, but itunes can't read songe put there on rockbox.

    I didn't try, but i think it is possible. The limitation happens don't cause the size the hd or ssd, but cause the RAM. When you have 128GB full of content, the OS loads a index of them into a database which is loaded into the RAM memory. More content make the database bigger and the RAM can't deal with that. I think that rockbox don't use a database index like stock OS, but just look up the content on hd or ssd it self, so to me sounds that can be possible Edit: I just remember that you can face a motherboard limitation to. If this happen there no way to increase the storage capacity over the limit

    Good instructional video. But Why oh Why do you have to speak sooo quickly? When you show a movement on the pc eg extracting files, you've done it very quickly. I had to keep pausing before moving forward. It was easy to install though, but it's early days I'm finding it a wee bit difficult to navigate.
