Olympus m:robe MR-100

[baab22]

Hurray, it works!!! Thanks for that.

hold switch works, power off has only failed on me once...
OF.mi4 boots fine with the original bios boot method, music has a bit of delay when changing to another few songs at times, but all other features are working smoothly as of now, ill report any bugs.

some bugs ive noticed: songs have frozen on me, sometimes it showsthe wrong track in the "next track" field.

[Gryx]

My m:robe freezed 2 times while changing track, maybe i press to fast?

But it's better than the original, load times of the songs seems to be quicker.

I've just found a bug or whatever...

"Pause on Headphone Unplug" option works reversed. Take a look at that option.

Also, for last 2-3 days, on daily builds download page, latest daily build's link is being deleted... Is there a reason why? For example "20080312" was there 8-10 hours before. but now, I can't find it...

Umm almost forgetting! battery indicator works perfect on "20080312" version...

I don't understand this statement. We keep daily builds for 30 days, and that include the mrobe100 ones. See this page:

Update: it should be noted that we have not yet officially started to support the mrobe 100 so all these offerings should still be considered bonus and subject to change.

This morning I downloaded version "20080312" but when I check the site now, it's gone... It seems the latest version is "20080311"..  Truly, it's not a problem for me but I wondered that, if a known bug or something caused link to be removed..

Check that link
http://download.rockbox.org/daily/mrobe100/


(" http://www.rockbox.org/dl.cgi?bin=mrobe100 "seems to be broken.)

edit: checked " http://www.rockbox.org/dl.cgi?bin=mrobe100 " and yep! 20080312 is there..

#1 - download.rockbox.org is three different servers, so perhaps one of them that you got to see actually missed the 0312 version. The ones I've seen have had it

#2 - the http://www.rockbox.org/dl.cgi?bin=mrobe100 URL is a single one however and it certainly works for me

Well spotted - now fixed.

I have a question about the dual-booting. Everybody says to hold the power button after turning it on to switch to the original firmware, but that doesn't work for me. If I continuously hold it from the start, all I get is a red screen until a let go, and no matter how fast I press and hold the power button after letting go once, I get Rockbox, which continues to shut down from my holding the power button.

And yes, I do have the original firmware in the same place, renamed to OF.mi4, and I have the latest (3/13) rockbox build. Am I supposed to have another name for it, or have some special file for it to work?

[xiion]

you press it once to turn it on, let go of the on button, then once it loads the M:robe bootscreen image (with the head phones) you press the power button once more, and it should boot the original firmware.
dont hold it down, it pauses the bootloader.

[scaramanga_goldengun]

Nope, still nothing.

[lowlight]

Do you have the latest bootloader for Rockbox? That's different from the latest Rockbox build. The bootloader is what starts either Rockbox or the OF.

The bootloader is here: http://download.rockbox.org/bootloader/olympus/mrobe100/

Okay, I just downloaded it, and I saw it say "loading original firmware..." and it found the file, but then it said something about a "bad checksum", which is weird, because the original firmware worked perfectly before installing Rockbox. I tried renaming the original firmware and taking out the Rockbox one, and I found I got the same thing. I'm sure I didn't delete, rename, or move any files other than the original firmware (which I renamed to OF.mi4), so I have no idea why it's saying that.

Rockbox for the M:Robe is now an official, "supported" port and as such available from the download page http://build.rockbox.org. This means any new bugs you discover (check wiki for known issues) should be reported at the bug tracker http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/index.php?type=2. This thread will be closed soon - please use appropriate subforums for further discussion.

The manual is also available (might take a few hours for the download mirrors to pick up) http://www.rockbox.org/manual.shtml. If you discover any mistakes or omission, please report them so they can be fixed.

Strange indeed. Could you make the OF.mi4 file available so we can check it out to see if it is either corrupt or an unknown version.

[scaramanga_goldengun]

No problem, here's the link to my OF.mi4:
