Rockbox on Sansa Fuze V1 8GB

[KiwiCam]

I've just purchased a Sansa Fuze with version v01.01.22p firmware. I gather that this is a V1.

From reading these forums, I was under the impression that I can run Rockbox easily on my Fuze and that V2 was still being worked on. I tried to install Rockbox using the Rockbox Utility, but it doesn't recognise my Fuze. It's on the F: drive.

I then tried the manual install and have succeeded in extracting the sansae200 zip file into the fuse. I then tried to install the bootloader using Sansapatcher, but the utility states that no E200 or C200's are found and aborts.

Am I mistaken? Can anyone please help?

Rockbox isn't meant for everyday use on the Fuze. It's only useful for developers at this time.

Ok. I'll remove the .rockbox folder form the Sansa. I assume that I can just select and delete?

I was getting all excited about having Rockbox on the Fuze (after seeing the Fuze Rockbox emulator. Sweet.) I'll try to be patient.

Thanks for now.

after seeing the Fuze Rockbox emulator.

Just as a note, it is a simulator, not an emulator.  The difference is quite important.
