Ipod photo 40gb has bad resolution, all the colours are wrong

(1/13) > >>

AustinMarton:
Hi there, I have been trying to install Rockbox on my ipod photo 40gb (bought for this purpose). It is formatted to fat32, and the install has worked fine, but the colours are all wrong.
It looks like trying to display a picture with higher resolution than the monitor.

The colours are also wrong in Rockboy, instead of monochrome it's orange and black and white, it's kind of inverted looking. I have tried a number of different skins and the basic ones display fine (blue background black text) but no pictures or icons display correctly. Is there another version of Rockbox for ipod photo I could try? An older build? I tried to use the grayscale ipod version but it says bad checksum.

Any help or suggestions you can give will be much appreciated, I really hope I can use this instead of the apple firmware :D

Thanks,
Austin.

I would try extracting a fresh build.  Apparently it's not displaying bitmaps properly, but I don't know why this should happen.

AustinMarton:
Hi thanks for the quick response. What do you mean by a fresh build? Do I need to compile from source? I've got the latest version of rockbox from the website.

Chronon:
It's possible that some corruption occurred due to a bad extraction.  I don't really have a good explanation for what you're seeing.   Still, I think it's worth redownloading the current build and doing a fresh extraction to your player just to eliminate that possibility.

Does the Jpeg viewer work properly?

AustinMarton:
Okay I have tried extracting and reinstalling and no luck (even on a different computer). The jpg viewer works but has the same issues with colours. Is there somewhere you can change the LCD screen type in the theme config files or something?
