00:03:40[IDC]Dragonbut lcd_update_rect() saves you half a second, as expected
00:04:05mattzzallright!
00:07:27[IDC]Dragontry this:
00:07:29[IDC]Dragonif ((y_pixel & 0x7) == 0x7)
00:07:30[IDC]Dragon rb->lcd_update_rect(0, y_pixel & ~7, LCD_WIDTH, 8);
00:07:30 Quit c0utta (" HydraIRC -> http://www.hydrairc.com <- The dawn of a new age")
00:08:02[IDC]Dragoninstead of lcd_update()
00:12:48mattzzyup - thanks.
00:13:32mattzzI will have to change it because I am counting downto 0 now, right?
00:13:54[IDC]Dragonyes
00:14:26[IDC]Dragoneven simpler then:
00:14:27[IDC]Dragon if ((y_pixel & 7) == 0)
00:14:27[IDC]Dragon rb->lcd_update_rect(0, y_pixel, LCD_WIDTH, 8);
00:15:43mattzz1.15secs @ 15 itarations ;-)
00:15:57mattzzlast update is missing
00:16:01[IDC]Dragonany reason for some variables to be unsigned char?
00:16:27mattzzthis is going to be a tough review ;-)
00:16:28[IDC]Dragon unsigned char n_iter;
00:16:29[IDC]Dragon unsigned char x_pixel, y_pixel;
00:16:37[IDC]Dragonyesss
00:17:00mattzzboy, my first code review...
00:17:18mattzzwhat do you propose instead of unsigned char?
00:17:42mattzzint for 32 bit performance optimum?
00:17:58[IDC]Dragonif you use smaller types than the native, extra code is needed after arithmetics to limit the value again.
00:18:26amiconnextu.b in this case...
00:18:33mattzzok, so I should use INT ?
00:18:39[IDC]Dragongeneral rule: use int or unsigned int if size doesn't matter
00:18:46mattzzok
00:22:16[IDC]Dragonint is probably best for x/y_pixel, because you mix it with other signed values in the calculations
00:22:30[IDC]Dragonint/long is no difference
00:22:31amiconnmattzz: Use unsigned for x / y, shifting will be faster then.
00:22:37[IDC]Dragonon a 32 bit CPU
00:22:56amiconnGrr, nonsense.
00:23:34[IDC]Dragonthey are not always positive, aren't they?
00:24:05amiconnYes, of course. Nonsense, as I said.

00:35:22[IDC]Dragonstrange, a tail loop didn't help the iteration.
00:35:47[IDC]Dragonit's fastest with while (++n_iter < max_iter) at the top
00:37:18mattzzwhy not post increment?
00:37:46mattzzah... forget it
00:38:04[IDC]Dragonbecause then it can increment in the same register before the check
00:38:24mattzzI see
00:38:26[IDC]Dragonelse it would need another for the original value.
00:39:16[IDC]Dragonso this is cheating by one iteration ;-)
00:40:21mattzzit's worth it
00:40:28[IDC]Dragonstrange: unsigned char is faster for the iteration counter and limit
00:40:53[IDC]Dragonmaybe because of the shortermemory fetch?
00:40:58mattzzhow much? 3%?
00:41:10[IDC]Dragonnot that much
00:41:32[IDC]Dragonmaking up another nickname?
00:41:47mattzz:-)
00:44:39mattzz1.12secs - that was another 0.03 secs @ 15 iterations. nearly 3%!
00:44:52[IDC]Dragondoing what?
00:45:10mattzzpre increment in while statement
00:45:25mattzzcould also be that one iteration less....
00:45:39[IDC]Dragondon't forget it dous one iteration less than "specified"
00:45:45mattzzbut the result matters, right?
00:45:54[IDC]Dragons/dous/does
00:46:01[IDC]Dragoncheater!
00:46:32mattzzbut it _feels_ a lot faster now ;-)
00:47:13amiconn(-;
00:48:26[IDC]Dragonare your screen lines OK now?
00:48:57mattzzYup, I put the b&w version on mattzz.dyndns.org/archos/">http://mattzz.dyndns.org/archos/ (Schwarzbrot release)

00:53:04mattzz4<<28 ?
00:53:07[IDC]Dragonstrange magic number
00:53:25[IDC]Dragoncan't the compiler resolve that?
00:53:53mattzzdoes he have to?
00:54:04[IDC]Dragonyes
00:55:03[IDC]Dragonyour coords are off by 1
00:55:19[IDC]Dragonstart at LCD_HEIGHT-1
00:55:28[IDC]Dragoncheck if >= 0
00:55:41[IDC]Dragon(so it has to be signed)
00:58:01mattzzhm, that would explain the strange simulator bahaviour
00:58:25[IDC]Dragonyou're writing off-screen
00:58:33[IDC]Dragonvery dangerous!
00:59:05mattzzback in file list screen the filenames where garbled....
00:59:12mattzzfixed now
00:59:33[IDC]DragonI just started your old plugin, what a breakthrough, this new one!
00:59:59[IDC]Dragonold took 36 secs for 10 depth
01:00
01:00:23mattzzresult of a good teamwork
01:00:37[IDC]Dragon;-)
01:00:52mattzzthere was an intermediate release with 3.6 secs
01:01:02mattzzin the patchtracker
01:01:44[IDC]Dragonah
01:01:46mattzzbut this one is much more fun
01:01:58[IDC]DragonI'm old-fashioned
01:02:04[IDC]Dragondo you if ((y_pixel & 0x7) == 0)
01:02:17[IDC]Dragonagain after fixing the coords?
01:02:37mattzzwhoops
01:05:02[IDC]Dragonand you may fix the true iterations, init to one more, display one less
01:07:17[IDC]Dragonwell for speed then, any more would need asm
01:07:30[IDC]Dragon(I guess)
01:09:23mattzznow I don't need the final lcd_update_rect anymore, due to the way of counting. nice.
01:11:28mattzzGentlemen, do we have a patchtracker candidate here, or what?

01:25:53mattzzok, full patch committed to patchtracker
01:26:30[IDC]DragonI was just preparing it anyway
01:26:41mattzzah, I see
01:26:48scott666whats the total imrpovment speed?
01:26:54mattzz300%
01:26:59scott666nice
01:27:18mattzzfrom 30 secs to 3.5 secs to 1.16 secs now
01:27:40mattzzwith much higher accuracy
01:29:05[IDC]Dragonwhy the lcd_clear_display() at the beginning of calc_mandelbrot_set()?
01:29:30mattzzjust a habit from old C64 times
01:29:32[IDC]Dragonyou don't update it, or qould you like to?
01:29:39[IDC]Dragonwould
01:29:57[IDC]Dragonit was only happening in your old code
01:30:01mattzzhonestly, this line seems to be obsolete
01:30:45mattzzah, wait. it's not
01:31:04mattzzwe want a complete redraw.
01:32:08[IDC]DragonOK, I'll put an update behind it.
01:32:26[IDC]Dragon(you do a complete redraw anyway)
01:32:31mattzzyup
01:33:03[IDC]Dragondon't forget to take it out when you redraw a stripe ;-)
01:33:53mattzzgreyscale first
01:34:52amiconn[IDC]Dragon, mattzz: I just uploaded an update to grayscale.c (not my 3% tweak, since it looks too weird).
01:35:27[IDC]Dragonbut which?
01:37:42amiconnI've rewritten my safe replacement mechanism for lcd_update() to not cause flicker within the grayscale overlay area. And it contains a minor speed tweak.
01:38:20[IDC]Dragon"safe replacement"?
01:39:18amiconnAs you surely know, you cannot safely use lcd_xxx() functions that directly write to the lcd controller while having the interrupt running.
01:40:17amiconnSo I had defined a flag which is set by the replacement function and then read within then interrupt routine.
01:40:53amiconnThis used to do an lcd_update() *instead* of flipping to the next bitplane. So it caused flicker.
01:41:42amiconnThe new version first flips to the next bitplane *and* lcd_update_rect()'s everything around it afterwards.
01:44:54[IDC]Dragonmandelbrot wasn't in cvs yet?
01:46:05[IDC]Dragonamiconn: OK, understood, I wasn't aware of the "non-grayscale" side activities.
01:46:36mattzz[IDC]Dragon: nope
01:48:23amiconn[IDC]Dragon: This is useful if the grayscale overlay doesn't cover the whole screen, e.g. for a status line at the top/bottom in a game.
01:48:51[IDC]Dragonmattzz: now it is
01:49:21[IDC]DragonI took the liberty to brush it up a bit
01:49:39amiconnThis is useful because you cannot use fonts within grayscale unless you define some as bitmaps. (I'm thinking Minesweeper here).
01:49:47***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
01:49:57mattzzthanx a lot. could you please also close the patchtracker item?
01:50:20[IDC]Dragonif it already shows up
01:52:01[IDC]Dragonclosed
01:53:18amiconn[IDC]Dragon: There is still my patch for memcmp() which isn't that useful after all, I think. What should I do with that?
01:53:53[IDC]Dragonwe have no memcmp(), right?
01:55:07amiconnNo, we have memcmp() (in C), but it is used only in very few places, and my asm replacement is bigger, so I consider it a waste of space.
01:55:37[IDC]Dragonah, I remember
01:56:00[IDC]Dragonthe memcmp() places are not spped critical, iirc
01:56:19[IDC]Dragons/spped/speed
01:57:55[IDC]Dragondoesn't cry for integration
01:58:16[IDC]Dragonbut I'd like your disk functions enabled
01:58:33amiconnNo it doesn't, thats why I ask what to do with it. Should (can) I close this myself?
01:58:47[IDC]Dragonhave you tried the write on somebody with a bad disk?
01:59:02amiconnNo, not yet.
01:59:08[IDC]Dragondunno if you can close it, try
01:59:55amiconnThe C writing is also sped up in the current builds, so far nobody did complain about it.
02:00
02:00:49[IDC]Dragonbedtime is long overdue
02:01:27amiconnPerhaps somebody (me?) should prepare 3 test builds (with read/write/both optimizations enabled) and post on the ml to test these (along with a warning).
02:02:14[IDC]Dragonsounds good :)
02:02:53amiconnI'm using both optimizations all the time without problems, but then there are these old Hitachi HDs...
02:02:54[IDC]DragonI'm off, nice talking to you guys.

11:10:49[IDC]DragonLinusN: while you're in that FAT area, how about the rmdir()? ;-)
11:12:05LinusNhehe, i just committed some very old changes i found on another computer :_)
11:12:42LinusNrmdir should not be different from the normal rm if the dir is empty. or?
11:13:20[IDC]Dragonno, delete() uses open(), which checks for dir attribute and fails if so
11:16:55LinusNi'm talking about fat_remove()
11:17:57LinusNhow far did you get with your rmdir patch?
11:18:42[IDC]Dragonit's all there, except the rmdir() itself working

11:33:11[IDC]Dragonthe remove_dir() helper function will need to call rmdir() then, see the comment there.
11:33:34[IDC]Dragonthat was my question as well, in the posting
11:33:56LinusNwell, we can't answer questions about your own code :-)
11:34:04[IDC]DragonI copied that from the remove() code, not knowing what it does
11:34:15LinusNremove() doesn't call fat_truncate()
11:34:49LinusNoh sorry, it does
11:34:50[IDC]Dragonline 257 of file.c
11:35:19LinusNvery unnecessary

11:35:37LinusNfat_truncate() frees unoccupied clusters
11:36:09[IDC]Dragonwhich have been reserved in advance to that file?
11:36:25LinusNthat is, if you (re)write to a long file with much shorter data

16:52:23amiconn|workThis is because the "win32-sdk" doesn't include the plain vanilla gcc, only
16:52:25amiconn|workthe sh-elf one. That's why the page tells you to download and install that
16:52:27amiconn|worktools package separately (instead of building it yourself).
16:53:15lImbusmhmmm
16:54:06amiconn|workOf course you can, instead of downloading the tools binaries, also install the native GCC in cygwin (with the cygwin installer).
16:54:23lImbusI downloaded it separately, then unzipped it and so on. I didn't want to make the tools myself, that was your idea. before, I had the same probs compilin the rockbox itself, that should work
16:54:28amiconn|workThis is what I did; it also enables you to compile the simulator with cygwin.
16:55:00lImbusthe only one real prob is I am running out of hd-space on my notebook
16:55:32amiconn|workThe problem is: if the tools' sources are newer than the compiled binaries, it tries to recompile them (that's what make is about).
16:56:15amiconn|workI could send you the current tools binaries.
16:57:05lImbusahh. for win32 ?

17:25:42amiconn|workAs your sdk installation is now working, you can start developing for rockbox. Unfortunately you won't be able to compile the uisim with it unless you install native gcc.
17:26:40amiconn|workSorry, can't help with compiling the uisim on vs.net, since I don't have that.
17:28:10lImbusah well, ok, I'll make my first steps on the hardware directly

18:08:36elinenbedoing it in cygwin seemed to work okay.

18:10:12factedthanks, I already got it to work :)
18:10:33factedThank you for your help and your patience though
18:10:55factedoh, one question:
18:11:15factedonce I patched the files necessary, what files do I need to move into my archos recorder?
18:11:37factedthe rockbox.ucl and the main file (*.ajz)?
18:12:17elinenbeif you don't have scramble in your path then rockbox.ulc will be 5 bytes
18:12:31elinenbeyou will probably just want to compy *.ajz onto the recorder.
18:12:50elinenbethen "run it" by pressing play on the file.

20:15:30pvhOla!
20:16:01pvhWhat do you guys think of a simplified play structure?
20:16:13pvhIt could be based on the F2/F3 menus.
20:16:22pvhPress Play, default play behaviour occurs.
20:16:38pvhHold down play, the pop-up menu appears (which I believe has pitch right now).
20:17:05pvhUp: Queue Next, Down: Queue Last, Left: Insert Next, Right: Insert Last.
20:17:25pvhFile-system stuff goes to On-Play for rename/delete.
20:17:42factedi like the customizable patches out right now
20:17:45pvhPlay on a directory, by default, plays it.
20:17:56pvhForward on a directory descends into it.
20:18:01factedyou can customize what play does, and what foward does
20:18:09pvhWhat's the patch number?
20:18:17factedi like that last suggestion...about the playing a directory
20:18:18factedhold on one sec.
20:18:20CtcpIgnored 4 channel CTCP requests in 1 hour and 51 minutes at the last flood
20:18:20*pvh is thinking more about what a good UI design would be.
20:18:35factedhttp://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=935682&group_id=44306&atid=439120
20:19:01factedi do like your idea about holding the play button down for more options
20:19:05factedrather than for pitch
20:19:23pvhIt's intuitive, I figure.
20:19:31pvhButton-down, wait for a moment, then bring up the menu.
20:19:45pvhQuick down-up, and you get default behaviour.
20:19:54amiconnpvh: play + left/right/down is not possible at the same time
20:20:00pvhOh?
20:20:16pvhOkay, well, once the menu is open, just leave it up until a key gets hit.
20:20:28factedyea, that would make sense
20:20:39factedhold play on a song opens up the menu
20:20:40pvhIf play on a dir plays the directory, then play _in_ a dir could just play the song.
20:20:45amiconnThere are 2 groups of 4 keys each, where it is not possible to reliably detect pressing 2 or more of them at the same time.
20:21:28factedpvh, is this for a patch?
20:21:36pvhYeah, I'm not doing anything else today.
20:21:39amiconnGroup 1: f1/f2/f3/up, group 2: left/play/right/down. This is why there is no "up" in the quick screens.
20:21:51pvhAh soo.
20:21:57pvhI had wondered about that.
20:22:03pvhOff is a group of its own?
20:22:25amiconnOn and off are each connected to a port of its own.
20:22:50pvhWell, that shouldn't change too much.
20:23:11factedpvh, if you get it done today, will you pleast post the link on the newsgroup?
20:23:17factedi'd love to test this out for you
20:23:20pvhYes, of course I will.
20:23:25factedgreat
20:24:21pvhWhere's the pitch menu moved to?
20:25:59factedsomewhere else :)
20:26:04factedi don't know
20:26:12pvhThat _was_ how you called it up before, right?
20:26:39factedbut I think this ability to more easily manipulate the playlist is much more important than the pitch menu...
20:26:45pvhYeah.
20:26:58pvhI was going to look for it in the files to orient myself on the code.
20:27:12factedyou should also check elinenbe's patch for the WPS
20:27:21pvhWill do.
20:27:28factedpressing f3 would allow you to see the playlist...
20:27:39factedwhich isn't possible in any other way yet
20:27:41pvhAh yes, I think that's a good idea too.
20:27:43factedthat i knwo of
20:27:51pvhIt's like a two-liner patch, as well.
20:28:19factedi tried to apply it but I got some errors and I'm a newbie with the patches, but if you can incorporate that with your new patch...
20:28:34factedThat would do tons for the usability of the playlist
20:28:35facted:)
20:30:51pvhI'll probably keep my patch seperate.

20:43:54amiconnHydraIRC cycles through all possible matches.
20:44:21LinusNpvh: i don't like to hold a key for a menu to pop up
20:44:37LinusNthe extra delay is annoying
20:44:53pvhOkay, so make it momentary.
20:45:31LinusNthen it becomes more difficult to start the music
20:45:41LinusNi like to press Play to start
20:45:49pvhIt's simply a matter of finding the right timing on the button.
20:46:08LinusNthe concept we are working on is to use f3 for a context sensitive menu
20:46:25LinusNand f2 for a configurable menu
20:46:39pvhI think that's a good idea, but it's hard to explain those to people.
20:46:43LinusNand get rid of all 2-key combinations
20:47:03pvhI do think that's a good idea.
20:47:12LinusNwhy is "hold play for a second" easier than "press f3"?
20:47:49pvhBecause it looks like a play button.
20:47:52quelsaruki think, holding a button is not a good aproach
20:48:08*pvh shrugs.
20:48:18pvhI'll make a patch, and people can try it and tell me what they think.
20:48:31amiconnLinusN: I'm all for the idea of configurable & context sensitive menus, but some of the 2-key combinations are also _very_ handy...
20:48:49pvhOn-Up/On-Down for example
20:49:06LinusNwe have an idea of configurable "hot keys" as well
20:49:15amiconnpvh: I never use this (assume it is pitch).
20:49:17quelsaruk'cause some buttons are *slow*, i had that problem on my old recoerder, and sometimes using combos was awful, when pressing ON+PLAY, i pressed just PLAY, and so on...
20:49:43LinusNthe goal is to be able to operate rockbox with only one hand
20:49:48pvhAmi: No, it's paging through directories.
20:50:34LinusNpvh: in the dir browser, yes, but it is pitch in the wps
20:50:36amiconnAhh, in the dir browser it is paging. Didn't know that yet.
20:50:43pvhAmi: It's a good-un.
20:50:54pvhLinusN: Yeah, but I like the paging, and I don't like the pitch shift. ;)
20:51:04pvhLinusN: s/like/use/
20:51:25amiconnThe 2-key combo I'm using most is on+play.
20:51:26LinusNwe can still keep the paging, it has nothing to do with the context sensitive menus
20:51:37LinusNon+play will be moved to f3
20:52:20monkey666i think if i can play halo or mario sunshine i can press on+play
20:52:48LinusNwith one hand?
20:52:52amiconnLinusN: I think context sensitive menus will _require_ the button bar, otherwise the user may get very confused.
20:53:13LinusNamiconn: yes, that's why i implemented it
20:53:17quelsarukLinusN, i've been disconnected for 15 days... are there any changes/new things that i should have in mind for the splash menus? I had nearly 800 mails from rockbox and had to delete all them without reading or die in the try :(
20:53:48LinusNquelsaruk: no, most changes have been bug fixes or talkbox stuff
20:54:08pvhWhat do you guys think of the playlist F3 patch?
20:54:11pvhHas anyone else tried it?
20:54:22LinusNplaylist f3 patch?
20:54:32pvhJust replaces the F3 menu with the Playlist browser.
20:54:46LinusNi haven't tried it and i don't think i will
20:54:58monkey666i dont about your halo skills but i can play halo nearly on-handed
20:55:06monkey666one*
20:55:09amiconnLinusN: I noticed a minor bug with the button bar. For now it is supposed to work only in the dir browser.
20:55:22LinusNthere are lots of issues with it
20:55:38LinusNit is on in the plugin/font/lang browser for instance
20:56:02pvhYes, it's quite a preliminary patch.
20:56:20LinusNpvh: the playlist f3 patch is not interesting because we will have a context sensitive menu on f3
20:56:30pvhAhh.
20:56:33amiconnYes, that's what I've noticed, and it is confusing, because the keys don't work then.
20:56:55LinusNamiconn: yup, it's on my (mile long) todo list
20:57:40LinusNgotta go away for a while, i'll be back

23:00:56amiconnEasiest way to try: download Rockbox 2.2 (just double-check if it is for the right version), unzip it to the root of your Archos,..
23:01:31solarisi tried that... but no go, i'll try again
23:01:48amiconnthen after unplugging the USB restart the unit with F1+ON, This should boot into the Rockbox v2.2 .ajz _via_ the Archos v 1.28 ...
23:02:13solarishmmmm.... ok
23:02:15amiconnThen you can flash the correct .ucl
23:02:23solarisi have 1.40a version when i start
23:03:44amiconnThere are now pictures on the download page to spot the right model. If yours says v 1.40 then chances are it is either an FM Recorder or a Recorder V2.
23:04:12solarisit's a v2 without fm
23:04:36amiconnThen the V2 package definitely should work.
23:05:06amiconn(I own a Recorder v1 btw. That's why I mentioned v 1.28)
23:05:41solarisok
23:06:11solarisok, file copied and restarting
23:06:53solarisstill same thing..... no go
23:07:14solarisi'm in 1.40a, no rockbox
23:07:49amiconnHmmm. You said that while trying to flash it told you about checksum errors.
23:07:50solarisshould i try recorder? instead of v2?
23:07:56solarisyes
23:08:47amiconnThis means that the .ucl was corrupted. Chances are that your .ajz is also corrupt. Did you re-download the package?
23:08:59solarisyes
23:09:07solarisyeap
23:09:18solarisand directly copied from zip to the root
23:09:47amiconnHmmm.
23:09:54solaristhat's what i said....
23:09:55solarislol

23:10:53amiconnCould you send the .ajz _as read from your Archos' root_ to me? I could have a look.
23:11:03solarisok
23:11:05solarishold on
23:11:13solarislet me try the non-v2 version
23:11:43amiconnPerhaps the file corruption occurs while copying to your Archos. (Faulty USB port/cable/driver etc.)
23:12:05solarishmmm
23:12:42 Quit HenrikB ("Lämnar")
23:12:58amiconnOf course you may try v1, as well as FM. This only doesn't boot into Rockbox if you get it wrong.
23:13:38amiconnsolaris: Got it.
23:14:42solarissame problem with v1
23:15:11solarisso, the problem is that it won't run ajbrec.ajz
23:16:08solarisi can't see the .rockbox from 1.40a nor ajbrec.ajz, is that right?
23:16:25amiconnGood news: the ajbrec.ajz you sent is the genuine V2 version of Rockbox 2.2, and it is not corrupted.
23:16:25solariscan you see ajbrec.ajz from archos firmware?
23:16:33solarislol
23:16:40solarisGREAT!!!
23:16:52solarisnow, the bad news???
23:17:14amiconnNo, you can't. If it is there, it will be loaded on boot, if it is the correct version.
23:17:27amiconnDid you try the FM version?
23:17:32solarisnot yet
23:18:29solarisok, copied
23:19:06solarisrestarting...
23:19:46solarisnope, it stayed in archos
23:19:50amiconnHmm, just remembered that the Archos fw _sometimes_ has problems to find the correct ajbrec.ajz, if there are either old directory entries left over or there is some other file in the root whose name starts the same.
23:20:09solarishmm
23:20:15amiconnYou can try the following (assuming you use windows)
23:20:43solarisyes
23:20:53solarisxp
23:20:55amiconn(1) Put back the V2 version of rockbox to archos root.
23:21:02solarisok
23:21:46amiconn(2) Delete all files from the root which are not absolutely necessary, especially those which start with ajb....
23:22:02amiconn*all _other_ files of course
23:22:23amiconn(3) Perform a scandisk, to make sure.
23:23:02amiconn(4) Perform a defrag (make sure you batteries are in a good shape, especially if you don't have USB 2.0).
23:23:16solarisi have over 15 gig of mp3 and audio books
23:23:21amiconn(5) Retry to reboot with F1+ON
23:24:03pvhsolaris: You don't have to delete all the files
23:24:11pvhsolaris: Just files in F:\
23:24:30solarisok
23:24:31amiconnStep (4) may take quite some time then, but it is one method to get rid of "dead" directory entries.
23:25:58amiconnThere is at least one other method that was mentioned some time ago, have to look up...
23:26:09solarisok
23:29:33amiconnsolaris: Look at the faq (http://rockbox.haxx.se/docs/faq.html), Question 64 contains some suggestions.

23:30:56factedhow's the patch going pvh?
23:31:11pvhdoing some real work at the moment
23:31:19factedahh
23:31:24factedi guess that's acceptable :)
23:32:07solarisok, i'll try that, thx amiconn, brb
23:32:18pvhlinus doesn't seem to like the idea, but that's okay. if it works for me, that'll be good enough. ;)
23:32:27factedyea, i read some of the conversation
23:32:35factedi agree with you, to each his own...
23:32:45factedwho knows when the customizable menus will be ready anyway
23:32:49factedin the meantime, the patch is great

23:38:29amiconn? what? which? why?
23:40:04Quelsaruki mean, i left my old jukebox in my house, so as i went to the beach.. no testing :) and now.. i'm back in Portugal and the box is in Spain :(

23:43:52danhans224is there anyone here that worked on the rockbox?
23:45:05Bagderseveral
23:45:41danhans224how did you all get started on this project, any skills you need to know?
23:46:04QuelsarukBagder, maybe you want this info: With 2100mAh batts, my box lasted for nearly 9 hours, doing a full disk (20GB playlist) random play (non-stop) with aprox. 50% CBR 192kbps, 20% CBR 128 and 30% VBR with an average bitrate of 190.
23:46:17danhans224it's so cool, just wondering how you all did it
23:46:45Bagderdanhans224: lots of hard work
23:46:56Bagderand many skilled people
23:47:25danhans224i know.. what type of stuff you have to learn to do this?
23:48:03Bagderyou mean to rewrite a firmware from scratch on an average consumer mp3?
23:48:12Bagdermp3 player
23:48:13danhans224yup
23:48:32Bagderelectronics, low level programming and higher level programming
