Ipod 30GB 5.5 plugin problem :S

[G1g10]

          well, First of all, im latin so my english isn´t perfect.
          hi, i got a 5.5g ipod, its a 30GB. I pot Rockbox to my ipod, and all perfect, but....  i cant got the doom plugin work.. :S:S  

          i do everything that the manual says, and nothing..

          i´ll explaind you everything about the location and everything.

º i first download  the rockdoom.zip that contains this.

º .rockbox\doom and inside of this have doomf.wad and rockdoom.wad

º then i get the

º doom1wad.zip that contains the doom1.wad

º i create a folder named doom into de .rockbox folder of my ipod.
( H:\.rockbox\doom )

but the same message :S  what can i do??

[Chronon]

You didn't mention what you did with the zip files other than download them.

What files are in "\.rockbox\doom\"?

[G1g10]

well i get all the files into the "\.rockbox\doom\"

it means  inside the \.rockbox\doom\ i have 3 files is it ok?

[bascule]

What Chronon was trying to say was did you actually unzip the files?

[G1g10]

sorry i dont know what chronon is..  i think its the "º" no??

i dont put a unip the files, because i think it will be obviously, but well now i say.. i unzip all the files, and then i copy to the ipod..

in the folder of doom i got this. :

doomf.wad and rockdoom.wad (base wap) right?

and doom1.wad  

[AlexP]

sorry i dont know what chronon is..  i think its the "º" no??

Chronon is the name of a person above who replied to you.  Â° is a degree symbol.

[Chronon]

Well, it does sound like you have the right files there.  

doom1.wad or doomf.wad (I guess that's what they're naming FreeDoom now) would be the base WADs.

[G1g10]

hmm.. so, what i need to do?? change the names to the files??


pd:

Chronon is the name of a person above who replied to you.  Â° is a degree symbol.

ohh  ok sorry ;P  xD  thanks for the info of the degree symbol.


edit: i´ll put a pic, for u see what i got!

No, the filenames are alright.  But you should try to download those WADs again.  It looks like the download got corrupted somehow.  The doom1.wad should be 4,077,564 bytes = 3.88 MB, not 3.982 KB.  Those files are all much too small.  Consider that they contain all of the graphics and other media for the entire game.

Just as a note, in other languages, the use of comma and period in numbers may be swapped so that 3.982 means three thousand nine hundred and eighty-two.

Wow.  I must be having a bad day of it.  Hopefully I'll be a bit more on the ball next time I log in.  I should have noticed that.  Windows only reports two digits in the mantissa.  

Those are the same file sizes as I have. . . I was hoping that a simple explanation like a bad download would explain this.  I'm afraid I have no further suggestions at this point.  Hopefully someone else can add some insight here.

What I want to know, is what message is the "same message" that our user is getting, since the first post in the thread is apparently referring to something outside the thread.

Also, he referred to his iPod as H:\, but the picture shows G:\, so I want to know if that's on his iPod or not.

Which "Game" are you choosing in the list in Doom?
