Apparently having to answer my own question, I learned by experimenting that the following have to be updated: \.rockbox\rocks\firmware_flash.rock \.rockbox\viewers\rockbox_flash.rock \ajbrec.ajz \.rockbox\rombox.ucl or \.rockbox\rockbox.ucl The last three can actually be anywhere. 0 Save your current setup to a config file 1 Copy these files to their appropriate places. 2 ROLO into the new ajbrec.ajz 3 run rombox or rockbox.ucl, depending on which type you're using. 4 Optionally, delete the above files, as they are no longer needed. 5 play the config file to return to the previous machine state. 6 save the new machine state to a config file to preserve the settings that might have been added. I break up the config into two parts, basic setup and listening parameters. Basic setup is things that won't normally change. I have three listening parameter files: audio books Music random music. These contain parameters that change. For audio books, especially those ripped from tape, I want max treble, almost no bass and no base boost. I use much more flat settings for music. I'm probably going to break "music" up into two files, rock music and everything else.
