Sandisk Sansa e200R

Is there any way to get some kind of sansa e200r emulator that will run the firmware on windows and let me change that around so I don't end up bricking my sansa in the process of trying to get rockbox to work properly?

Thats a good question.  Toni's emulator has been able to run the retail firmware for a good while now, but I believe hes only tried it on the non-R model.  Might be worth looking into:

The problems we have to get Rockbox on the R models aren't really related to the firmware, but rather to the differences in the pre-bootloader. At least two people have already run the R model firmware on a vanilla e200 player.

Our problem is that we haven't yet managed to get an R model to load the rockbox bootloader and accept it as a fine mi4.

So, if we're lucky we might soon be able to replace the BL in e200R models with out custom-patched version, that will accept dummy-signed mi4 files.

That sounds great! All I have to offer though is my best wishes on success.
And...thanks for yours and everyone else's efforts!

I tried to replace the firmware on an e250r with the firmware of an e250, but i just got "load main image failed." the easy fix is to just drag the old e250r firmware back to the player in recovery mode. :-[
