iPod Rockbox Installer (Windows)

<< < (2/7) > >>

Kreator666:
New version out (Version 5).

---------------------

Version 5 by Bjehsus:
 He has done an excellent job, changing:
-Added a nice GUI.
-Done away with copying files to C:\Rockbox. That was pointless, and not needed.
-Cleaned up the code a bit.
-Merged the installer, the Linux installer, and the uninstaller into one file--Installer.bat.
-Added Mini 2G bootloader support - something that should've been there since the beginning.
-Almost a total re-write, re-structure.

Coming from me, the orginal developer, this is a wonderful job that Bjehsus has done.  It was sorely needed, but I lacked the motivation.  Well done Bjehsus!

Please read the first post of the thread for detailed information!

---------------------

Just wanted to let you guys know over here (Rockbox is, after all, your project :P).  V5 has a GUI and is a lot easier to use, but keep in mind that it is an unofficial development.

Again, read the thread at iPW if you need more information.

CodyM:
Just wanted to point out that if you don't use Windows, I wrote this installer that works on any system with a Python port:

Looks pretty good (although basic), CodyM.

I would like to inform everybody here about version 7 and what has been going on since v5.

Version 5 has been taken down to a bug, addressed in v6.

Change log for v6 through v7:

Version 6 changed/added:
-Major bug fix when trying to install Rockbox along side iPod Linux.
-Automatic iPod location through ipodpatcher.exe.
-Cleaned up more code.
It is very important that you get this update, as version 5 may break your iPod Linux installation. This version won't.

Version 6.1 changed/added:
-iPod Mini 1G support.
-ID variable implemented (because of Mini1G/2G conflicts in building the bootloader), but this should not affect or be visible to the end-user.

Version 7 changed/added:
-Text reader screen to view the ReadMe.txt file (this one) inside the Installer GUI. Available at Main Menu.
-Addition of WGET.EXE program. Big thanks to the developers of the WGET project!
-Support for update/download of bootloader files through WGET. WGET.EXE will compare timestamps and download a new bootloader if your one is obsolete.
-Fixed bug that froze the install process just before making the Rockboot binary. This has been associated to the ID variable not being correctly implemented.
-Code clean-up and minor reorganization.


Thanks for the support so far (that is coming in through our download counters on the iPW forums), development will continue.  I plan to add automatic Daily Build download/extract/move to root soon.

Bjehsus and I would be highly honored if this installer is adopted as the 'official' Rockbox installer, as I believe it to be the most complete.  Regardless, the updates will continue until the product is highly polished.

Thanks all :)

So I just used this on my 60GB 5G ipod, and everything seemed to work properly, but when I disconnect and reboot the ipod all I get is a screen that says apple.com/support/ipod. Any thoughts?
