Choppy scrolling

<< < (3/6) > >>

cereal_killer:
The config.cfg file is located in the .rockbox folder that should be in the root of your player. So plug your player to your computer. Open it in a file manager. Open the .rockbox folder and there you will find the config.cfg file. Open this file using a text editor and you will see all your settings. You can also attach this file to a post in this forum.

The .rockbox folder might be hidden, so make sure to have hidden folders shown.

Does this choppy scrolling get better after some time of use?

How many bands of EQ do you have on?

Sorry guys, I'm gonna have to try and figure out this cfg thing on my day off.  I've pluged it in, I've looked everywhere, I've unhidden crap, but I just don't know why the friggin' hell I just can't find it!!  I've looked in the one Rockbox folder I have on my computer, but theres just an installer app and thats it.  If I truly can't find it on my day off by googling the crap out of all this, I'll come back and just give up and say I'm an idiot and I just can't find it.

@soap
I have the EQ enabled, which to me means all the bands are enabled.  So I'm not terribly clear on that.  If you have a 6 band, 10 band, or a 12 band equalizer and then you turn it on - everything is turned on.  Am I missing something in the terminology here?  As far as the EQ goes - it is truly THE one and only thing I downloaded Rockbox for.  This is the one feature I wanted and cannot live without by turning it off if for some reason this is the problem.  If Apple got off there stupid ass and just put even the simplest of EQ's on thier ipods I'd go out right now and buy that ipod.  Kills me, cannot be that hard for Apple to put a measely 5 band eq on there.

You need to look on the player, not on your PC. See the attached screenshot.

The EQ requires quite a bit of processing power. The more bands you change to a value different from 0 the more power it requires. If you have all bands changed to non-zero and experience choppy scrolling this is a performance problem -- the Ipods CPU simply doesn't have enough power to do all that. Processing power is also likely to be (at least one) reason why Apple didn't put an EQ in there ...
