Need Help Re: Displaying the Volume in 10% increments using Bitmap Strips

Llorean:
What's happening in the old version of the SIM is more or less meaningless as it's code from half a year ago. I thought I explained this so I'm not sure why you're repeating to me what was happening with it.

The sim more or less is the tool for debugging this sort of thing, but you'll need an up to date one. It's only marginally easier to create one in linux (and in fact arguably VMWare is easier than native Linux since it comes with the cross compilers already set up). There's also the checkwps tool, but it would also require you to hand-compile it, and though I'm not certain, I'm pretty sure it's just the verification code from the simulator presented a different way.

As I said, the test you'd want to perform is getting it to fail to load everything (by as little as possible if you can), then significantly reducing the image size without changing the number of tokens so that you can see if the number of tokens really matters on its own, or if it's just a case of "more tokens means more RAM use" with you jumping to the conclusion that it's a token limit thing because of a six month old error message.

Basically, I need results from tests on current code before I make any more specific speculation, which requires you either build a simulator, or run more specific tests on the player.

And while I'm not sure the Nanos have different RAM amounts or not, the amount of memory reserved for the WPS isn't based on the total RAM but rather on the screen dimensions.

Current - or at least very recent - Simulators are available here http://rasher.dk/rockbox/simulator/

If you need or want to build Rockbox or a simulator the VMWare image is very impressive and easy to work with (I get a source zip file rather than using SVN as my 'play' PC is not connected to the web) - I used it as an example of how we should provide a demo setup for a project here at work.
Guidance here http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/VMwareDevelopmentPlatform

That's just what a good number of folk use the simulator for...

Now, PLEASE get a recent Sim, so that we can get back to trying to help you get your WPS working and stop arguing about who said what to whom and whether percent or dB is the 'right' way of showing volume (which should always go up to 11 BTW) - Thanks :-)
