i have several ideas
« on: August 04, 2011, 10:35:23 PM »
could you maybe make a plugin to run cellphone games, (without taking up too much memory)? how about an etch-a-scetch style graphics creation program(for us that like to doodle and take graphical notes). the thumbwheel on many mp3 players would be great for this. could you make rockbox not permanently loose drm capability? many of us would like to keep that.

This section is really for feature ideas you're interested in actually working on.

As it stands, "cellphone games" is pretty meaningless and vague.
Etch-a-Sketch style graphics editor - this would be possible and sounds like you just mean alternative controls for the existing graphics editor (assuming they don't already have these controls, I don't use it).

As for DRM, Rockbox itself will never support DRM. Permanent DRM loss is avoided where possible, already.

I think he's talking about those small Java applications that are usually written for S40 or S60-based phones, which are mostly games.

If that's the case, that'll be a toughie, mostly because we would have to implement a JRE into Rockbox to launch the games, and I know that most of us know how Java tends to be a little hefty with resources.
