just followed a guide to install this on youtube so i can play gameboy games on it
questions
1. why are the games so slow?? is the cpu/memory that bad?
2. with this can i bypass itunes and directly copy music over?
3. do i update to new firmware or codecs to play newer media files? as a first time user i've noticed that it can play mpeg files but some other files aren't recognised,
4. if i'm in image mode how the heck do i exit back into menu mode without holding play and 'shutting down'?
nls:
0. Welcome! :)
1. yes
2. yes
3. You have all the media support that is available in rockbox already installed if you installed a recent build, new format support is not added on a regular basis.
4. Check out te manual, see the link called "manual" linked on the left side of every page on rockbox.org

Next time, use the manual to install, not some random YouTube video.

You have questions, we have expectations:
1. - At least tell us what device you have installed the Rockbox software on. An iPod Video is much slower playing many games than an iPod Nano.

2. - Here you imply you have an iPod. The question though is something you could have learned had you read the manual, or even done a basic search of the forums. Both are activities you agreed to do before asking questions when you signed up for the forums.

3. - Once again I'm left to assume you are referring to http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/PluginMpegplayer. Again you are expected to perform a minimal amount of research (this topic is also covered in the manual) before posting here.

4. - Search the forums and manual before posting questions here again, please.

dude i didn't even know about the program before today dude, its impossible to do what you just aaid i.e "use the manual to install, not some random youtube video"
because i recently installed some hacked ipod games, i wanted something more interesting i.e emulators, as the ipod games are crap, i saw mario bros on youtube so i tried the mod, i never knew about its full potential so you can see my dillemma
as for the moderator below:
1. i thought i already stated it was an ipod video, if not then i must've forgot, no biggy, people make mistakes (its a ipod video 80gb)
2. yeah yeah read the rules, i'm sure every new person has gotten some moderator or admin shove the rules and policy in their faces on most sites (except for the nicer admins who welcome people instead), and i knew it would happen to me
i have read it, i have done some searching, but in the end i'm only human, and taking advange of technology, if i was going to filter a bunch of crap i knew nothing about, I would be like channeling through info like a dictionary, it was alot easier to just blatantly ask it, and the forum could be kept alive with other similar questions.
the search feature is not easily used on this site, it pops up with threads bunched up with small texts, it would give ANYONE a headache.
p.s thanks to the person who answer my questions you rock ;D ;D
