Rockbox Utility

Kreator666:
I knew somebody will come along with one of these and make me useless someday ;)

Well, I'm the lead developer of the unofficial installer for iPods, and that is a completed application.  Everything is automatic (iPod detection, installing bootloaders/builds).
So, if you want any help with anything (but it looks like you don't), you can ask.

Llorean:
Our goal is for the installer to work on all Rockbox targets, not just iPods.

As well, as iPodPatcher is coming along, there's going to be less chance of something going wrong, even if you install more than once on top of each other. :)

Kreator666:
I know, I was just offering help for the iPod side of things ;)
More then anything, detection.

I think that the biggest thing for this would be to have everything automatic (like my installer for the iPods) so that people don't even have to select which mp3 player they are installing it to.  If it is possible to detect all the players without user interaction... Well, that remains to be found.

Of course, I understand that the core installation coding isn't completed, but once it does come to the niceties I do suggest that you look into detection.

Llorean:
Right now, the new iPodPatcher can detect what sort of iPod it is automatically. Figuring out which drive it is automatically is going to be added. Some of the other players (H100/H300 at least) can't really be identified from the PC side, I don't think.

But yeah, I mean, contribute where you can 'n all. :)

Kreator666:
The new iPodPatcher sounds nice, especially after all the sysinfo/drive size stuff I had to figure out :P

Well, shoot me a PM if you (Cassandra or anybody who is working on this) want help or even want to look over the source code for my installer.
Good luck!
