Do you think i can post it in "New Ports" or is there no way this will ever run?

[saratoga]

I've never heard of that player so I don't know anything about it.  If you're interested in porting to a new device, see:  https://www.rockbox.org/wiki/NewPort.html

I'd second this port. It's a pretty decent mp3 player, with fm recording, & voice recording. Rockbox would be awesome for this mp3.

One day Ill buy it, & get information such as CPU used & such, then report back.

good to hear
its rly a good player. Rockbox would be awsome

It contains an Actions ATJ2157, aka. a "shovelware" player; it has only 224k of SRAM, nowhere near enough to run rockbox.

Hi, this is the pro one, do you happen to know what it has?

Hmm, I dont think that its as good as the Phinistec Z6 as theres no voice and fm recording. Hopefully theyll release an mp3 with both these that has much more RAM.

I believe it is called the Phinistic Z6 Pro

[erika1996]

Is it 100% proof that it only have that low Ram
i mean the player is not that old

I also have contact the company via support mail, sent a request about cpu and ram. They have not answered until now.

It's not a matter of how "old" a player is, but what it was designed around. 

To put this in perspective, The SoCs used in most of those shovelware "mp3/mp4 players" have between about 1/3rd to 1/10th the RAM as the the original Rockbox platform (ie the Archos Jukebox) did two decades ago.

(The Actions Semi ATJ2127/2157/2167 series has 224KB, IIRC.  The highest-end Rockchip RKNano-D model has about 1MB total but is split (ie not shared in a usable manner) between its two processor cores.  The RKNano-C only had 384K.  Those two SoC series can be found in the majority of what's on the market today.  In comparison, the original Archos models had 2MB of RAM, most of the Sansas we support have 8MB, and even the original iPods had 32MB of RAM!)

I was told by Phinistic last year that the Z6 (regular model) had rockchip nano D yes.

However, I think this Z6 Pro has something different but I have been unable to verify what cpu it has.

They just tell me that it has ESS DAC 9218 chip

Anybody know?

If it has something that would work with rockbox, that would be great, it is only $69.99
