Re: Porting rockbox to n900
 

Rockbox already supports that:

I've quickly tested the feature, it's currently broken as the log file is not properly written on shutdown.

I'll start a KNOWN_ISSUES file to track this and fix it in the future.

Re: Porting rockbox to n900
 

All the H-somethings I've tried had really great sound, even with the stock firmware. Note sure if and how Rockbox makes it even better ?

That's cool. I've never even seen an actual H300 remote, don't think they were ever available in Europe. Everybody seemed to use H100 remotes which are perfectly compatible. So it makes sense that Rockbox went for that first, and means I need to give it a try...

That's a pretty generous offer from you there, thanks for that! However, I depend so much on that H340 I spent a small fortune on in 2004, that I since bought two other cheap, used units (an H320 and an H140) as spares, just to be safe. Both came with H100 remotes, so it would take some really extreme circumstances for me to take you up on that :)

Re: Porting rockbox to n900
 

just a question: What power button is defined for this emulator? "Return" or "+" do not work. Or: what is the default way to quit rockbox in this emulation?

Re: Porting rockbox to n900
 

Well FLAC support is pretty good, but I did treat myself to a pair of Shure E4s when I changed the firmware to Rockbox so that's probably a pretty major factor.

Press CTRL+BACKSPACE to bring up the task switcher and then click on X.

The button mappings need some work, especially for the plugins.

Re: Porting rockbox to n900
 

just wanted to confirm that the duplicate database entry issue is indeed fixed.

any ideas on further minimizing the CPU utilization in the future? I had it paused in the background for a few hours today and noticed in BatteryGraph that it was still using roughly 50% CPU (compared to the CPU normally being < 5% for me when idle), so I wonder if there is anything more that could be tweaked.

man, this app has really completed my n900.

Re: Porting rockbox to n900
 

Can anybody please post some screenshots, for those of us on the fence about installing this?

Re: Porting rockbox to n900
 

Well,looks aren't everything, but here's a couple basic screenshots. Take a look at Rockbox.org for an idea of how skinable it is (very) - while there you can read up on some of the features that make people love it so much.

This looks very promising. It runs very smooth so far. After Instinctiv was canceled I thought I would be stuck with the default media player. This just brought new life to my N900!
