(1/2) > >>

killer:
i wanted to update my rockbox firmware for a reason that i cannot play the game doom, i've downloaded the doom wad on doom folder (/.rockbox/doom), but everytime i try to play the game the demo always appear!.. and i can't seem to find rockboy, another question, if i update/change my rockbox firmware (ver. 13660-07617) will i loose my settings?.

i'm using 5G 30GB iPod Video.

thanks ;)

safetydan:
Have you read the manual? It should answer all your questions.

killer:
yes i did, it's the ROLO right?!... and it says..
 
"Rockbox is able to load and start another firmware file without rebooting. You just “play” a file with the extension .ipod. This can be used to test new firmware versions without deleting your current version"

so this means that i have to download a new firmeware, extract it on my DAP then, what's next? ??? ... i'm sorry but it is really not that clear for me on how use it.

Chronon:
No.  ROLO is just a loader.  To update the firmware you can just extract a fresh rockbox.zip onto your player (root directory).  

killer:
ok, so if i extract the new rockbox zip, it will come out as .rockbox folder, will this overwrite my previous one and reset all my settings?
