Rockbox General > Rockbox General Discussion
Why I'm keeping the rockbox from my box [H320].
Llorean:
As was said, Rockbox won't implement DRM.
As for getting the DRM not to be destroyed when installing Rockbox, you'd have to figure out how to install Rockbox on a US Firmware H300, and figure out how not to damage the DRM in the process. Considering once the DRM is damaged, it can't be undamaged, you might need a decent number of US H300s that haven't had Rockbox installed or been converted to international firmware to test on.
zone22:
Instead of flashing over is it possible to emulate firmware from the hard drive.
In no way am I claiming to know what I'm talking about, but you never know what might spark a new idea.
Llorean:
Something *has* to be flashed, because we have to change what it loads on startup.
zone22:
and I guess you've already thought of this to. Simply adding on not overwriting any of the code.
I hope someday someone decides to firm up to the challenge. Till then I'll wait or learn and do it myself.
Llorean:
Ah, but if it starts running at the beginning of the code, we have to put our code at the beginning. Which means moving other code. If you don't want to break the original firmware, that means reorganizing things, but you have to do it in a way that doesn't break the DRM, and that's the problem.
Someone basically needs to figure out how to reorganize things where it won't break the DRM (if that's possible, for example there may not be enough room.)
