#rockbox log for 2003-07-14

00:02:41Zagorwell that part doesn't take any time. the delay is waiting for BSY, which previously didn't use the correct address
00:03:13Zagorbut i agree we should investigate more and see if there is a workaround
00:03:20[IDC]DragonIt must have taken some time, because you saw the Rockbox logo.
00:04:03Zagoragreed. i wonder what really was happening.
00:04:11[IDC]Dragon;-)
00:05:06Zagorbtw, i'll check in 8MB plugin support in a few minutes. no PIC yet, maybe later if we figure out how to fix it.
00:05:30[IDC]DragonOh, that's great!
00:05:57[IDC]Dragonon the other end, it starts a compatibility problem.
00:06:08Zagoryes, it means another API version bump
00:06:39[IDC]DragonHow about running the plugins at a lower, common address, carving a hole into Rockbox?
00:07:29Zagorit's quite difficult. the linker can't handle working around a carved-out hole, so we'd have to manually try to piece it together.
00:07:40[IDC]Dragonversion bump? You want to have two groups of versins for that?
00:08:20Zagorno, i'm just checking the memory size in plugin_test()
00:08:30[IDC]DragonAh, good.
00:09:18[IDC]DragonAbout the hole: how about after the exception vectors? Then the Rockbox code doesn't need to flow around a hole.
00:09:38[IDC]Dragon(but I need to change my bootloader)
00:10:32Zagoryeah, that could work. i'll need to think about it some more.
00:10:52[IDC]DragonOK.
00:10:57Zagori'll commit this fix first. we can change it later if we want to.
00:11:14[IDC]DragonAnother OK.
00:11:46[IDC]DragonThis afternoon I made a flash firmware set for the FM.
00:12:02Zagordo you have an fm to test with now?
00:12:12[IDC]DragonNeed to try it tomorrow, hope to get hold of such a box.
00:12:22Zagornice
00:12:32[IDC]DragonA co-worker has one.
00:13:35[IDC]DragonThe Archos FM firmware is quite a bit larger, leaves less room for us.
00:14:08[IDC]Dragon12 KB in fact, it just went into a new flash sector by a few bytes.
00:14:20[IDC]DragonBut we still have plenty.
00:14:23Zagorok
00:14:53*Stevie-O yawns
00:14:55Stevie-Ogood morning
00:15:15[IDC]DragonOh yes, it's past midnight.
00:15:24Stevie-Oit's only 6pm here
00:15:27Stevie-Oand since I just got up
00:15:33Stevie-Oit's still morning
00:15:37Zagor:-)
00:15:42Stevie-Ohow goes it?
00:15:51[IDC]DragonAnd you call us old Europe, we're alwas ahead.
00:15:58[IDC]Dragonalways
00:16:28Stevie-Oyeah, you're like 6 hours in the future
00:16:33Zagori'm doing a few last cleanups before i go on vacation tomorrow
00:16:35Stevie-Ohmmm
00:16:40Stevie-Oso tell me, what's the future like?
00:16:44Stevie-Odo we have flying cars yet?
00:16:52Zagor:)
00:16:58[IDC]DragonOh, that's tomorrow? I understood the week after.
00:17:06Stevie-Owtf are those damn dorky scientists waiting for
00:17:43Zagoryeah, it's tomorrow. i probably expressed myself poorly.
00:18:02Stevie-Olol
00:18:06Stevie-Ooh man
00:18:07[IDC]DragonAnd you got the nerve to still be Rockboxing?
00:18:34[IDC]DragonMy girlfriend would be upset.
00:18:39Stevie-Oi was supposed to write the x86 emulator to run office XP on Rockbox today
00:18:48Zagorhehe
00:19:01[IDC]Dragonstill not done?
00:19:04Stevie-OI need to write a defragmenter for Rockbox
00:19:26[IDC]DragonThat would be slow, I guess.
00:19:45Stevie-Oonly if you think I mean the same thing as what Windoze Defragmenter does
00:20:24Stevie-OWhen I first got my FM, I just dumped all my mp3s in it as they were
00:20:43Stevie-Oso i had about 5 directories and 1100 mp3s in the root
00:21:01Stevie-O(it was a short time before I noticed it was cutting off the end of the list...)
00:21:30Stevie-Owhen I got Rockbox, I was forced to put everything into directories b/c of the 400 limit
00:21:47Stevie-Oso I made dirs [A-H] [I-P] [Q-Z]
00:22:19Stevie-Oand moved the mp3s into the right dirs
00:23:04Stevie-Owell while testing some new code (which still doesn't work) to speed up open()s
00:23:25Stevie-OI discovered that my root dir is like this:
00:24:21Stevie-O<dir> <dir> <dir> <dir> <over 1000 'free'/deleted entries> <dir> <dir> <dir> ...
00:24:45Stevie-Owell over 1000
00:25:06Zagorah, how silly :)
00:25:11Stevie-Osince it's probably about 4 entries per file, it's probably over 4000
00:25:19Stevie-Onow think about this
00:25:27Stevie-Oat 32 bytes per entry
00:25:33Stevie-Othat's 128000 bytes
00:25:49Stevie-Oat 512 bytes per sector, that's 250 sectors Rockbox has to read through
00:25:57Stevie-Owhich have NO USEFUL DATA
00:26:07Zagoryup
00:26:10Stevie-Oi also found an error in the shortname generation code
00:26:13[IDC]DragonHow about backing up the whole to a PC, erazing the box, putting it back?
00:26:34Stevie-O[IDC]Dragon: yuck
00:27:04Stevie-Oplus, files that I created *after* the deletions still aren't covering the beginning
00:27:21Zagoreven rockbox-created files?
00:27:32Stevie-Oless sure about those
00:27:37Stevie-Orockbox doesn't create much in the root dir
00:27:44Stevie-Oonly those internal files
00:27:48Stevie-Ofrom the ROM dump
00:27:52Zagorat least i wrote it to use first-fit
00:27:58Stevie-OI think those *are* at the beginning
00:28:28Stevie-OAlso, this giant root dir *is* fragmented
00:28:34Stevie-Oits clusters are all over the disk
00:29:06Stevie-Oso apparently it doesn't defragment the root
00:29:06Zagoryeah, i can imagine
00:29:22Stevie-OI wonder if it does subdirs
00:29:31Stevie-Ooh, a question about debug builds
00:29:42Stevie-Oi've not actually built one, since I have no serial mod
00:29:53Stevie-Obut i think it generates an .elf?
00:30:32Zagoryes, for use with gdb
00:31:05Stevie-Owhat's the debug format used to store the debug info?
00:31:32Zagorumm, not sure. it's part of the elf file.
00:31:45Stevie-Oi think it's DWARF
00:32:37*Stevie-O needs to find a dll to read DWARF
00:38:58Stevie-Ois there a homepage for elfutils or what?
00:39:19Zagorno idea
00:39:29Zagorbinutils maybe?
00:40:07Zagorobjcopy should contain code to read all sorts of elf sections
00:41:00Stevie-Omkay
00:41:54Stevie-Oah, libbfd
00:42:47Stevie-Oman, I got so much stuff I need to write
00:43:10Zagorthe hacker's dilemma :)
00:44:21Stevie-O(1) i need to finish jbrserbus, a driver to spawn virtual serial ports
00:45:01Stevie-O(2) hmm. I need food, too.
00:45:15Stevie-O6:44pm, kentucky fried taco hut should still be open

02:42:16Stevie-Oyo
02:42:25Jet8810whatsup?
02:44:18Stevie-Onot much
02:54:56Jet8810hmm
02:54:57Jet8810damn
02:55:00Jet88102200 mah battery
02:57:47Stevie-Othat's the fm
03:00
03:09:39Jet8810yeea
03:09:42Jet8810hmm
03:09:46Jet8810is recording from the radio illegal?
03:15:15Stevie-Ono?
03:15:26Stevie-Oif it was then they wouldn't have that feature
03:16:16Jet8810haha
03:16:20Jet8810nice argument :)
03:16:24Jet8810now, is it IMMORAL? :)
03:17:41Stevie-Ono?
03:17:50ricIIhmm do you care?
03:17:58Stevie-Othey play the stuff for free anyway
03:18:59Jet8810ric, Stevie, I really strive to maintain honesty in all this music online stuff
03:19:53ricIIwhat about software,, when is a idea your''s ?
03:23:07ricIIthere is a difference between copyright & authorship..
03:27:38PsycoXulbuying CD's is immoral
03:27:53PsycoXulin doing so you're supporting a corrupt industry that screws both the artists and the consumers
03:27:53BoD[]i agree
03:28:04BoD[]100%
03:29:03PsycoXulif you really want 100% moral music, i suppose you should either play it yourself, or go support a live band
03:29:31BoD[]you could happen to play something that is copyrighted
03:29:37BoD[]so it could be illegal
03:31:42ricIIor implemeny a (c) algorithim
03:33:24Jet8810heh
03:33:26ricIIor even worse reinvent the wheel
03:33:26Jet8810I buy CDs
03:33:27Jet8810an dpay fo rmusic
03:33:31Jet8810that gives me enough piece of mind
03:33:47Jet8810you can come up with justifications for it all, but I dont care WHO you steal from, its stealing
03:34:43ricIIwhat about using rockbox ?
03:36:18ricIIyou dismissed, but morally ?
03:36:56Jet8810rockbox is OFFERED for free
03:37:00Jet8810as an extreme method of gratitude
03:37:09Jet8810although I will make a donation once I Get some paypal funds in
03:37:21Jet8810if somebody offers it for free, its fine
03:39:45BoD[]i don't believe something "intellectual" can be the property of somebody
03:39:56BoD[]like, a song, a software, ...
03:40:11ricIIso how is music differnt?
03:41:39BoD[]it's not ;)
03:41:44ricIIbut I better talk about this when I'm sober..
03:41:52BoD[]:))

03:47:07Stevie-Oa song is not IP
03:47:13Stevie-Oand neither is software
03:47:25Stevie-Oideas are IP, and I have trouble with the concept of them being property
03:48:02BoD[]how is a song not IP ?
03:48:06ricIIdefine IP
03:48:44Stevie-Oa song
03:48:46Stevie-Oand software
03:48:48Stevie-Owas produced
03:49:01Stevie-Oit took time and effort
03:49:06Stevie-Omeasurable time and effort
03:49:34ricIIand how is this differnt from for e.g. my playlist code?
03:49:44Stevie-Owhat did I just say?
03:49:50Stevie-O<Stevie-O> and software
03:50:37BoD[]most song belong to somebody
03:50:53Stevie-Odidn't I just say that?
03:50:54ricIIhardeep did all hard work in (re) implementing it, where is the bord er ?
03:50:56BoD[]a song is an "intellectual" thing (as opposed to material thing)
03:50:58BoD[]so
03:51:01BoD[]a song is IP
03:51:08Stevie-Ono
03:51:10Stevie-Oa song is not intellectual
03:51:17BoD[]is it material ? :)
03:51:31Stevie-Oit is not tangible
03:51:37Stevie-Othat doesn't mean it's intellectual
03:52:00BoD[]ok then it's "not tangible"P
03:52:00BoD[]:)
03:52:04Stevie-Owhile intellectual things are intangible
03:52:11Stevie-Onot all intangible things are IP
03:52:43BoD[]ok maybe ... but what i was trying to say is that I don't accept the fact that something intanglible can be the property of somebody
03:52:54BoD[]for me, it belongs to nobody, or to everybody
03:52:55ricIIintangible, my english is comming short...
03:53:06Stevie-OricII: tangible == touchable
03:53:33BoD[]material
03:53:51ricIIagian where is the border...\
03:53:59Stevie-Owhere is what border?
03:54:39ricIIbetween intellectual & tangible
03:54:57Stevie-Ointellectual does not border on tangible
03:55:39Stevie-OBoD[]: then you've never created something intangible
03:55:54BoD[]true
03:56:02Stevie-OI get paid to write software.
03:56:10Stevie-OIf the software was not property of my employer
03:56:11BoD[]me too
03:56:13Stevie-Othey wouldn't get paid
03:56:18BoD[]it's sad
03:56:20Stevie-Oand I wouldn't have a job
03:56:23BoD[]it's not a perfect world ;)
03:56:24ricIIindeed.
03:56:34BoD[]but THAT doesn't mean it's RIGHT
03:56:42Stevie-Owhat are you talking about?
03:56:47Stevie-OI created that software
03:56:56Stevie-O*I* created it
03:57:01BoD[]are you sure
03:57:05Stevie-Oand you're saying I don't get to say how it gets used?
03:57:10BoD[]don't you use libraries
03:57:12Stevie-Ounless I have an evil twin
03:57:18BoD[]are you not just assembling things
03:57:22BoD[]that already exist ?
03:57:26Stevie-O...
03:57:35Stevie-Odo you own a car?
03:57:39BoD[]what is true creation
03:58:00BoD[]i think that "all works are derivative" ;)
03:58:07ricIIhmm
03:58:30BoD[]i dont own a car
03:58:34ricIII do,,
03:58:37BoD[]but i should ;)
03:58:41***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
03:58:41Stevie-Omore of that software was created by me, than what of my car was created by Honda
03:59:03ricIIwell my gf does, I got it insured etc.
03:59:04Stevie-Odoes that mean my car should have been free?
03:59:09BoD[]i dont think so
03:59:13BoD[]your car is material
03:59:27Stevie-Oit is an assembly of things that already existed
03:59:50BoD[]well yes
03:59:58BoD[]they transformed things
04:00
04:00:16Stevie-Odid it not cost them money to produce?
04:00:26BoD[]yes it did
04:00:28BoD[]but
04:00:38BoD[]you can copy something intangible
04:00:41BoD[]for no cost
04:00:47BoD[]you can't do that with cars
04:00:47Stevie-Othere's always a cost
04:00:57BoD[]ok an infinitesimal one
04:00:57Stevie-Oit's just far less for computer software

04:01:10Stevie-Onegligible
04:01:15Stevie-Obut not infinitesimal
04:01:18BoD[]that's the same
04:01:36Stevie-Ono, infinitesimal is immeasurable, negligible is so small that it doesn't matter
04:01:48BoD[]ok so that's the same for this conversation ;)
04:01:54Stevie-Odo you get paid?
04:01:59ricIIso the car bisness is not the same as software..
04:02:00BoD[]yes
04:02:05Stevie-Owould you rather your employer not pay you for the software you write?
04:02:07ricIIyes..
04:02:14BoD[]well "currently" i'm not employed
04:02:19BoD[]but that doesn't matter
04:02:33ricIIwell I get paid for knownledge..
04:02:37Stevie-Ogood, then you are presently the subject of your preferred economic model
04:02:45BoD[]i get paid for time
04:02:51BoD[]i give my time to code stuffs
04:03:03BoD[]but the code itself i would prefere it was free
04:03:11BoD[]it's not, i can live with it
04:03:16Stevie-Ono
04:03:19Stevie-Oyou get paid for your code
04:03:26Stevie-Oif you did not write code, you would not get paid
04:03:44BoD[]it's a service i give
04:04:06Stevie-Oyeah
04:04:09ricIInot true here,,,\
04:04:09BoD[]it has nothing to do with the fact that this code then "belongs" to the company, and they can sell it
04:04:10Stevie-Othe service of writing code
04:04:59Stevie-Oif they couldn't sell it
04:05:03Stevie-Othey would not pay you for it
04:05:07ricIIbut still there is authorship...
04:05:15BoD[]well as I said
04:05:26BoD[]i understand the "goal" of this
04:05:51BoD[]it's easy for people to be paid for the stuff they produce
04:06:05BoD[]but that doesn't mean it's right
04:06:24ricIII had to write code for ibm which I didn't want to put my name under it...
04:06:25Stevie-O<Sui88> 67% of girls are stupid
04:06:25Stevie-O<V-girl> i belong with the other 13%
04:06:27BoD[]in a perfect world, people could be paid for producing things, and these things would still be free
04:06:40BoD[];)
04:06:52*Stevie-O sends BoD[] to an economics class
04:07:23BoD[]i say : something that requires no money for being copied should be free
04:07:26ricIIin a perfect world, you wouldn't need to get paid..
04:08:17BoD[]very true
04:08:45BoD[]in star trek there is no money I think
04:09:10BoD[]i think the authors were a bit too optimistic about the future ;)

17:03:18Stevie[FP]they don't need a charge-discharge cycle like nicd and nimh do
17:03:31machtenxright
17:03:50Stevie[FP]plus
17:03:50machtenxbut I'm trying to justify buying the higher model
17:03:57machtenxbeyond batteries
17:04:06Stevie[FP]the liion in the FM is 2200maH
17:04:10Stevie[FP]err mAH
17:04:28machtenxso more sound quality?

17:08:00machtenxan FM?
17:08:16Stevie[FP]well 'best' is in the eye of the beholder
17:08:34Stevie[FP]the FM has no digital in/out
17:08:41machtenxwill it run with Mini Jukebox Recorder 15 ?

18:51:08Shrike|ok, i'm just reading all the rockbox documentation, it seems that there are lots of differences between recorder and studio ones
18:51:28Shrike|yes Lynx0 just been looking at them, it looks a lot more functional
18:51:37Lynx0Shrike|: The recorder is better, expecially because of the screen
18:51:53Shrike|yeh, but £100 more expensive
18:52:05Lynx0Yes...but you can record ;-)
18:52:14Lynx0And how much is the iPod?
18:52:59Shrike|ummmmm a 30gb one is £400 :)
18:53:37kujiyou know where a current flash firmware for recorder 20 is ?
18:55:13Shrike|What other features does rockbox give the recorders except for fonts?
18:57:52Lynx0Umm, games, plugins, configurable 'while playing screen', and more...

19:01:32Shrike|hmm it says in PDF manual that games are only for the recorder
19:02:38Shrike|so which of the recorders would you recommend?
19:04:10Shrike|hmm, the recorder 20 is only £50 more expensive

20:06:56midknight2k3I could tell him that i am very happy with rockbox

20:08:03midknight2k3dont you dare
20:08:17midknight2k3archos it is! :)
20:09:00Lynx0Well, rockbox is really good, but the archos itself may not have the built quality of an iPod.
20:09:13Lynx0I mean the hardware...
20:09:16Shrike|yeh
20:09:23Shrike|its a big more bulkier
20:09:29midknight2k3ever so slightl

20:09:36midknight2k3hey
20:09:39midknight2k3try th fm recorder
20:09:50midknight2k3it is smaller and lighter, and looks better

20:10:04midknight2k3lol
20:10:21midknight2k3lololol
20:11:03tpelliottI'm glad I have the older recorder. I like being able to change batteries.
20:11:37midknight2k3I'm glad I have the FM recorder. I like having a longer lasting battery that is replaceable when the time comes and archos releases them.

20:25:33midknight2k3not i

20:34:46midknight2k3hey
20:34:49midknight2k3dragon
20:34:54midknight2k3rombox is ok?
20:35:07[IDC]DragonYes, now on FM, too.
20:35:12midknight2k3yay!
20:35:18midknight2k3is it safe n stable?
20:35:27[IDC]Dragonfor which box?
20:35:31midknight2k3fm
20:36:00[IDC]DragonI guess, but will try a bit more. I flashed it 5 minutes ago for the first time.
20:36:17midknight2k3so how does this work can you tell me?
20:36:48[IDC]DragonThe most important thing is that the permanent copy, the original Archos software, is reliably coming up with F1.
20:36:58[IDC]DragonAnything else we can fix later.
20:37:07midknight2k3so how does it work?????? lol
20:37:15[IDC]DragonRTFM
20:37:25midknight2k3whre?
20:37:34midknight2k3i didnt see it no where
20:37:43midknight2k3but i will read it gladly :D
20:37:58[IDC]Dragonhttp://joerg.hohensohn.bei.t-online.de/archos/readme.txt
20:38:19[IDC]DragonTo be updated for FM soon.
20:38:26midknight2k3neat thanks
20:38:41midknight2k3by the way shrike he is putting rockbox in the player's ROM so it loads faster
20:39:29Shrike|i thought there was only 2mb of rom?
20:39:40midknight2k3that's ram\
20:39:43midknight2k3for buffering
20:39:50midknight2k3rom holds the standard firmware
20:40:06midknight2k3and rockbox (200kb) will replace the archos firmware (30kb or so lol)
20:40:25midknight2k3they rewrite it so it loads in 3 socinds instead of 10-15 seconds
20:41:35Shrike|cool
20:41:47midknight2k3very
20:41:51midknight2k3it's a breakthrough
20:42:03midknight2k3like the plugin loader :)
20:42:49[IDC]DragonGotta go, the weather is too nice here.
20:42:56midknight2k3bye

21:35:59midknight2k3lol
21:36:01midknight2k3im not bored
21:36:15midknight2k3im just randomly asking if you have any questions on rockbox or rombox
21:36:16Shrike|will it ever have the contacts function implemented, thats one thing like the one on the iPod?
21:36:31midknight2k3the priority on that is i believe 7
21:36:37midknight2k3it's coming soon hopefully
21:36:40midknight2k3perhaps as a plugin
21:36:54midknight2k3there's already a patch for it but soon maybe it will come with a plugin
21:37:24Shrike|cool
21:37:39midknight2k3the patches need to be compiled however
21:37:45Shrike|what other functions will be in the next release? as a guess ;)
21:37:57midknight2k3well there's daily builds
21:38:13midknight2k3so there are a few bug fixes and features once a day/week/month/whenever
21:38:24midknight2k3added to every day
21:38:43midknight2k3most people use them but some stick with the final versions in hopes of having a more stable rockbox
21:38:59Shrike|its updated daily? wow, they doing this professionally?
21:39:03midknight2k3it's not true, and daily builds are the latest in features and bug fixes
21:39:21midknight2k3i don't know what you mean by professionally :)
21:40:13Shrike|well as a job
21:40:21Shrike|or is it just a sideline project
21:40:45midknight2k3just a project
21:41:02Shrike|heh
21:41:10Shrike|they must spend a lot of time working on it
21:41:19midknight2k3a bit, yeah
21:43:01midknight2k3http://rockbox.haxx.se/daily.shtml
21:43:22midknight2k3under SOURCE TARBALLS it lists the changes for that day
21:43:35midknight2k3there were like 90 when the plugin loader came into play :)
21:43:58Shrike|lol :D
21:52:38midknight2k3ANY MORE QUESTIONS>
21:52:42midknight2k3I CAN ANSWER ANY ONE
21:52:46midknight2k3(about rockbox)
21:52:58Shrike|yeh, what does it sound like/
21:53:05Shrike|crisp and clear? good and good?
21:53:25midknight2k3depends on sound settings
21:53:28midknight2k3there are many
21:53:32midknight2k3and they're very adjustable
21:53:42Shrike|ok on the best sound settings
21:53:49midknight2k3VERY VERY GOOD
21:53:55Shrike|with mp3s encoded at 128kb/s
21:54:06midknight2k3that's what i used to use
21:54:08midknight2k3very nice
21:54:34midknight2k3ajustable is: bass, treble, channels, auto volume decay time, bass boost, loudness
21:54:43midknight2k3there's a karaoke mode too :D
21:54:55midknight2k3and stereo wide, stereo, stereo narrow
21:55:35midknight2k3wide makes it seem like it's far away and very expanded, and narrow makes it flat, close and compressed
21:55:39midknight2k3both have good uses
21:56:09Shrike|nice :)
21:56:25Shrike|this is sounding more and more like an essential purchase
21:56:54midknight2k3backlight works well but doesn't take up barely any power - i leave the backlight on 24, 7
21:57:08midknight2k3helps a lot
21:57:38midknight2k3with the plugin loader you can play about 10 games and 4 demos (demos are like screen savers)
21:57:47midknight2k3games are very fun
21:58:19midknight2k3Tetris, Snake, Wormlet, Sokoban, Star, Othello, FlipIt!, Sliding Puzzle
21:58:28Shrike|cool
21:59:02midknight2k3did you see the screenshots?
21:59:05***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
21:59:18Shrike|only of tetris wormlet and sokoban
21:59:36midknight2k3but all of them
21:59:38midknight2k3http://rockbox.haxx.se/screenshots/
22:00
22:03:55Shrike|cool screenshots
22:04:10Shrike|who took them, want to congratulate them on a great music taste :D
22:04:51midknight2k3lol
22:05:31Shrike|hmm i wonder how i can pay for this though :D
22:05:59Stevie[FP]steal it
22:06:22Stevie[FP]note that while that is the cheapest way to do it, certain legal entities may take issue
22:06:36Shrike|i would! but i'd have to go to the site's base that i'm buying it from, break it, find it, steal, and not get caught
22:06:40Shrike|easier to buy it :)
22:08:03Shrike|so what patches do you use midknight2k3?
22:09:23midknight2k3none
22:09:27midknight2k3i can't compile them well
22:09:31midknight2k3i have af ew though
22:09:39midknight2k3the wormlet patch and the chip8 emulator
22:09:46midknight2k3they were pre compiled
22:10:58Shrike|hmm, what do they need to be compiled in?
22:11:24midknight2k3compiled in? cygwin i think
22:12:53Shrike|hmm
22:13:02Shrike|definete purchase :)
22:13:15midknight2k3LoLoL
22:13:25midknight2k3did i mention
22:13:31midknight2k3custom WPS, and custom fonts?
22:13:54Shrike|nope?
22:14:02midknight2k3there are
22:14:10midknight2k3about 20 fonts
22:14:17midknight2k3and you make your own WPS! woohoo
22:14:55Shrike|and that means?
22:15:00midknight2k3http://rockbox.haxx.se/screenshots/wps.png
22:15:05midknight2k3while playing screen
22:15:13midknight2k37 custom lines
22:15:25midknight2k3you could have it say:
22:15:28midknight2k3ID3 TITLE
22:15:35midknight2k3ID3 ARTIST
22:15:39midknight2k3ID3 ALBUM
22:15:49midknight2k3Time elapsed / Time remaining

22:15:58midknight2k3Peak Meter
22:16:01midknight2k3Bit rate
22:16:04midknight2k3something like that
22:16:11midknight2k3could be a wps
22:16:23midknight2k3here's the info
22:16:24midknight2k3http://rockbox.haxx.se/docs/custom_wps_format.html
22:17:30Shrike|so i could have like the artist track album and all that and then like "I AM THE BEST! BOW DOWN TO MY AMAZING MUSIC TASTE!"?
22:17:42midknight2k3yeahhahahah
22:17:50midknight2k3as the bottom line or something
22:18:16midknight2k3have it scroll :D
22:18:32midknight2k3but what i said above was just an idea
22:18:37Shrike|:D yes
22:18:38midknight2k3there are like 100 things you can choose from
22:18:47midknight2k3http://rockbox.haxx.se/docs/custom_wps_format.html

23:29:36diddystar5no just a recorder 20
23:34:24diddystar5[IDC]Dragon: do differn't levels of compression in uclpack effect the speed of rockbox any?
23:35:29[IDC]DragonNot really. I'd say high compression may even decompress faster, because there's more re-use of data.
23:36:19[IDC]DragonBut it doesn't matter as long as we decompress in a fraction of a second.
23:36:32[IDC]DragonMost of all we have to wait for the disk.
