You don't really need to know a damn thing about coding to patch a build

Have a look here

Hope this helps,

i have actually been looking at this for a while. i have patched and cracked software (legally  ) but ive never done it throu command/cgwin. any tips. thanks for the link anyway thou.

Everything you'll need to know is available through the link I posted earlier.
A tip would be: "Don't jump in!", read...understand (or at least try to ), then give it a go.

First step would be setting up your development environment.

well... i understand learning is key. but this isnt my field of expertise. i just kinda want this feature real bad. im guessing its not possible to ask an already experienced rockbox patcher to do this for me and send me a link? (sorry if it sounds super lazy, i dont really have to much time to learn this...)
thanks for the advice thou

It is certainly possible to ask, but, assuming anyone else has any more free time than yourself to do something thay might not be interested in at all is another thing altogether

There is also the "give a man a fish/teach a man to fish" debate.

You have at least, reminded me that I need to update the CygWin Development wiki page...so, that's a bonus I guess.
Thanks

If I get some spare time that isn't full of doing the things I need/want to do...I could compile a build for you, but it would really be a one-off thing...then you'd either have to convince someone else to build for you or learn how to compile it yourself anyway.


PS: Are you familiar with Lrcplayer

im not familiar with lrcplayer. Is it a better lyric thing than what ive been asking for? im gonna try to learn more compiling stuff today. lol. i dont want to take up time (from developers) that could be spent making rockbox even more amazing lol. thanks for letting me know ST.

"Better" is subjective, the important thing is that you don't need to compile a custom (and, from then on unsupported) build to use it...it is already implemented.

Check your players Manual for more details on it specifically.
