I think this device deserves rockbox on  it.

its got alot of potential, seeing as ithas a nice LCD screen, can play video, radio, bluetooth, Rhapsody, Music, and much more, but it also is very limited in its sound features. but if rockbox is ported to it (if it is ever considered) i feel that the "fullSound" Feature, should be kept, simply because it is AMAZING in quality. but yeah... lets get this ported, ya?

UPDATE:
found the firmware files, the player file, and a helpful info file that can be modified to direct the bios to load up a different player/firmware, such as rockbox. as soon as i get the files uploaded, i will find someone interested that can help, as i am not very good with decrypting anything or messing with those kinds of files.

How would we "keep" something? Rockbox is not a modification of the existing firmware.  It is a complete replacement firmware that must be ported to the device and as such, we would have to implement whatever "fullsound" is into Rockbox.

xiion:
Full Sound is Philips version of blueray's Video upscaling, but instead is an audio upscaler.

which makes your music sound "decrapified."
im working on finding a way to let it show me the firmware, because it isnt in any of the hidden folders, and there are no system files. just empty folders (which might be a .tar archive since it has doen that to me before EX: transfered a .gz or .tar linux file to my xbox, and it turned into an empty folder.)
so im still messing with the device to try and find the firmware and get it into an mi4 file if not done already by the manufacturers.

So I want to do some work on this one. I got the SA5285. Already read some wikis and stuff. I want to open it and scan the pcb but I don't know how to open the player without breaking it. I looked at it, I can lift the back up a bit but only on one side. and I don't want to use blunt force and break something. I looked on the internet and didn't find anything. then I saw the wiki page for the 9200 on here and it looks a bit similar to mine. maybe I can open it the same way that the person did who opened the 9200.
Anyone got any tips on how to open it safely? of course it's my responsibility...
thanks.
