Creative Zen Vision:M
Sonic:
So, could we just install our firmware directly to the 32MB flash memory, so that there is no need to mess with trying to figure out the hash, since this seems to be the only roadblock(or at least the biggest one)? I'm just a noob at this, so it's just a suggestion, but 32 megs sounds like plenty of space to me.
Sonic:
Another question: has the firmware (excluding the hash) actually been programmed, or is everything waiting on figuring out the hash?

The problem is that we dont currently know how to write code that the processor can understand, we need the firmware reverse engineered or documentation on how to do it for us to be able to port rockbox to it.
BTW
I just email Creative contacting them whether we could get information on the hardware for the Zen Xtra and here is what i received:

On behalf of the Rockbox Community, I would like to know if Creative would consider releasing information on older mp3 players such as the Zen Xtra. If you released information to our community and supported our project, Creative would be seen as one of the best open-source friendly companies. No one would complain about functionality as anyone could add their own ideas to the firmware. Any support would be greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Chris Oliver and the Rockbox Community
Creative's Reply:
Dear Customer,
I'll forward the request.
Be aware that in most cases, Creative is under NDA with parts used in the device, and can not release related information .
But I will forward your email request.
If you still require assistance, please reply to this email with any previous correspondence to ensure the quickest and most accurate service.
Best Regards ,

I haven't bothered to count, but theres someone emailing Creative asking for info every month or so. From now on don't bother posting about it unless they give you info.
Also, instead of posting "HOW ABOUT WE DO XXXXX", just try it yourself, and post what the results are. We don't need another 4 pages of people speculating about a port from people who have no intention of actually contributing to one.

Tomorrow I'm ordering a 1.8 to 3.5 IDE converter so we can see whats on the hard drive
I attached Microsoft's Visual Studio debugger to the 1.61.01 upgrader
I included the log in this post
It seems odd, it looks like it loaded some Nero and other application dlls.
But what looks important is...
'ZENVisionM_30GB_PCFW_L21_1_61_01.exe': Loaded 'C:\CtJbFW\cttemp\Jboxcrl.crl',
'C:\WINDOWS\system32\xpsp2res.dll',

hope this helps somehow
