Changing Boot Loader Default
« on: September 16, 2007, 07:25:34 PM »
Can I change the boot priority of Rockbox ? Let me explain. I like the default Sandisk Sansa firmware, but I cant deny Rockbox some smaller advantages (i.e. GBC games, doom, I like how it uses the radio better etc). But for general MP3 playing, which is about 80-85% of what I use the thing for, I do like the way the Sandisk firmware works.

So can I change the way the bootloader works so that it boots my internal firmware by default, and Rockbox when I hold the left button? Thanks.




EDIT: Changed topic title.

Yes, but you'll have to edit the code and compile the bootloader yourself.

Also, please read the forum guidelines, as they require you to use a descriptive post title.

Alrighty. Thats a bit advanced for me, but I suppose I could try it out (I would have to be very certain before I flashed it to my player though :) ). Does anyone know of someone whos already done this, so I could just download/install it?

Is there a mirror for the download? Link is dead and a quick google only turned up the same dead link.


EDIT:
I may have lied, I think this may be it

EDIT2:
Correct link here. Tested and working. Thanks guys.
