what happened?

i just installed rockbox and after i safely removed my ipod from the computer, it opens to original apple os again!, i tried pressing the menu and select button but it just comes back to apple os again!.. need help here! thanks

make sure your hold is off (try switching it on and back again); booting with hold on will cause it to boot the apple OS.

Also make sure you've properly installed the rockbox bootloader via the DOS prompt.

Finally, make sure that you're not using a custom build which is designed to boot the Apple firmware by default.

i tried to booting it with the hold switch off and i don't have the slightese idea on how to check if it is installed properly via DOS, i installed rockbox through this site http://www.kreator666.gabeandco.info/rockbox/documentation.html

You should probably use the installation procedure from this site.  I'm not sure what that installer does.

thanks for all the help guys!..  i just installed issued on this site, and now it's working.. i just find that the fonts are really small!.. but at least it's working now!.. thanks guys.

Check out the manual.  It will tell you how to do things like choosing new themes and new fonts and other such useful things.

after a few hours of tingling with this new firmware.. the controls are pretty confusing when your used to using apples OS, but i think i can get the hang of it, but when i tried to access the DOOM game, it says that.. missing base WAD?.. what does that mean?.. and it prompt me back to main menu!, how can i make DOOM work? thanks

The manual will also help with your Doom question. Please read it as it will save you a lot of time and questions.

That installer is heavily outdated and, AFAIK, not maintained by its creator anymore.

Unofficial installers are what the name says: unofficial. You use them on your own risk, and they won't be supported here.

thanks guys..but the reason why i use the program from that site is because i tried to download and run the rockbox on my 30GB 5G ipod video i was not able to find .rockbox folder on my DAP (disk mode), even though on the computer say that installition is complete!.. but when i downloaded and run the program from Kreator's site, it placed a .rockbox folder on my DAP but it was not able to boot up to rockbox.. then i run the rockbox software from this sites and presto!.. out came rockbox on my ipod screen!
