(Sorry to > bother you with this, it's probably a really annoying newbie > question, but i couldn't find anything on the faq list). It is in the ROM. The Archos is set up to load the firmware in the ROM first, then it will look for an ajbrec.ajz file in the root directory and load that file if it exists. This is how Archos would supply its own updated firmware (if such a thing existed <g>). When you drag the rockbox .ajz file onto the root of your drive, you're just giving your recorder an update. Remove that file and you go back to the original firmware. Now once you see how nice rockbox is, you're going to want to re-flash your recorder (assuming it is hardware compatible, as most are) and put rockbox in ROM as well. You'll boot much faster, and you can still revert to the archos firmware, as a copy of that is also stored in the ROM. But save that operation for later, and make sure you read the instructions first. =) Received on 2003-11-08 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
