Hi you ask:
Hi,
I have sent several messages asking for help. I am not sure if they got
through. I have a Zune and need speech Software. Can any one create Rock Box
software to work with Zune?


Sure they can. It's another story to think that a developer will do it
though!

If I remember correctly the Zoom is a Microsoft product right? Most open
source coders do not like Microsoft. It's the principal of the think I
guess.

You need to know that a lot of work goes into porting rocbox on any player.

Bottom line?

Don't get your hopes up man!

Please respond.
Hope

.Hi guys,
.I'm not sure this went through. I'm not at my PC w/ the address book.
.I received a 60 GB white IPod for Christmas. I'm installing Rockbox, but am
.receiving errors at step 8 in the manual. I unzipped the font and the CVS
.build to themain root of the player. I also put the english voice file in
.the lang dirrectory. I downloaded the two files for my PC that are in the
.c:\rockbox folder of my PC. I went to run then typed in cmd and pressed
.enter. Typed in c:\rockbox, and got to that dirrectory.
.Then I typed in ipodpatcher --scan
.I was told it was device 1 or given the number 1. Then I made the backup by
.typing ipodpatcher 1 -r bootpartition.bin
.That went fine.
.Then I typed in ipodpatcher 1 -a bootloader-ipodvideo.ipod
.I got some kind of error saying failed to load bootloader. It recognizes it
.as a FAT32 5 gen IPod video, and is in disk mode.
.Help!? I followed all steps in the Rockbox manual. For other Blind users,
.I'm using Jaws 8, and XP home.
