when i got to extract all the files from the rockbox.zip it extracts them all in my unzip application.. but when i ask it to put the extracted zip (.rockbox) it only puts a folder onto my ipod... i dont know whats wrong.. all the files are extracted i the program please help. im on a mac if that helps

Chronon:
Just so we're clear, the result of unzipping rockbox.zip should be to place a folder named ".rockbox" into the root of the FAT32 partition.  Are you saying that your unzip tool is putting this directory inside of a separate directory when you extract to your iPod?  Remember that since the .rockbox folder begins with "." it will probably be treated as hidden by your OS.

If this is indeed your problem then you should be able to find a fix by using the search function, since many others have encountered this issue in the past.

my zip extraction wont let me copy the whole folder. soo i had to make my own folders inside of the folder title rockbox.. it wont let me put a period before the rockbox folder in my ipod.. i have all the folders inside of the ipod listed correctly with all of the theme stuff inside the folders.. except teh first folder isnt named .rockbox... how can i get the period in front of it?


sorry first time useing Rockbox

Chronon:
Try renaming it from the shell (command prompt).  Windows will also not allow you to rename folders with names beginning with a period through the GUI, but it will allow this from the command prompt.

Do this:


--- Code: ---mv rockbox .rockbox
--- End code ---

It should rename the folder to what you want.
