./rockbox root folder?? (iPod Video 30gb)
The Lamma:
Ok, so I just downloaded Rockbox to my iPod, and I must say it is pretty sweet. However, I decided that my own backdrop would be sweet, so I went to the tutorial thing at http://download.rockbox.org/manual/rockbox-ipodvideo/rockbox-buildch12.html#x15-28900012.1.6 and it makes no sense. I might sound like a complete and dumb newb, but what is and how do you get to the ./rockbox folder? It says "If you want rockbox to remember your backdrop the next time you start your player the backdrop must be placed in the /.rockbox/backdrops directory." I can't figure where in the heck that is.
And not only that, I can't even locate my .bmp image when I go to Files on the main menu. I used The Gimp to save it as a 320x240 .bmp image, and saved it as 16 bit, as the page said to.
Am I overlooking something?
Thanks in advance.
AlexP:
.rockbox is a hidden folder - turn on view hidden folders in your file manager.
As for finding the bmp from the file browser, check what you have the Show Files setting set to.
The Lamma:
I use Mac OSX, so there doesn't appear to be an option to show hidden folders, at least that I know of
AlexP:
Of course there is, it is just hidden somewhat - that'll be OS X making it "easy" for you. Check out google for instructions.
The Lamma:
Ok, sweet thanks. I'm guessing I just need to create a backdrop folder in there now?
EDIT: Oh, I found a backdrop folder in there
Second edit: Now I have the problem of not being able to find the image on my iPod. Its a .bmp 320x240 at 16 bits - is that a wrong size or anything?
