Rockboy speed

<< < (2/3) > >>

ComposerDude:
Alot of what Chronon says is rather well put.  ;D

Chronon:
Thanks for the kind words.   :)

LambdaCalculus:
El_: I would like for you to please take the time to read these articles, so you can see what Rockbox is about, and why we say these things:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hacker

And if you can get a dead tree edition of this essay, please do so:

And one last book:

El_:
I never said anything more than my first post!  I understand that this is all done in spare time, it's free software, etc, I just wanted to know why it ran slowly, and if there was any way to make it run faster!  

I'll still take answers for the second question^!

And thanks for the quick feedback!

LambdaCalculus:
You did ask for a lengthy explanation, so we gave you all the explanation we could.  ;)

The best way to make Rockboy run faster would be to see if maybe someone would like to take a look at the source for it and see if maybe they can optimize it a bit to make it run better.

Just remember what ComposerDude pointed out earlier: Part of it is the target you're running on. If you've got a Gigabeat, then speed shouldn't be an issue. The iPods, on the other hand, are quite a bit slower than the Gigabeat, so performance will be hit.

But if you really want to see Rockboy crawl, check it out on the Archos devices...
