Repairing and Upgrading Rockbox Capable Players / What are the alternatives to iFlash for an iPod Classic?

« Last post by Psychotronics on September 28, 2024, 11:34:37 AM »

I'm getting real tired of the issues that come with Rockbox and iFlash. Going back to the OG firmware isn't an option: iTunes won't even recognise my iPod anymore.
I chose iFlash because it was easy to install, but it's getting frustrating enough that I'm willing to learn whatever's necessary for a better solution. Has anyone ever installed an actual SSD on it? If so, was it hard?

Apple - Installation/Removal / My 7th gen with iFlash keeps corrupting its firmware

« Last post by Psychotronics on September 28, 2024, 11:32:40 AM »

Did a fresh install of Rockbox two days ago. Today, I plugged it to find it saying "no firmware found". Opened up AOMEI, the iPod's drive shows up as "unformatted". It's the second time this happens this week. Any ideas what might be happening to it?

Thanks @rockbox_dev123.

I am working on an update, which includes this fix and a couple of other little things I noticed.

Rockbox Utility / Re: Ipod 6th Gen Mountpoint error

On Windows the mount point is the device's drive letter.  You should be able to select that.

that could still be pointing to a voltage issue, it could also be a faulty chip could be an issue with our context switching and it could also be clocked wrong because of a wonky multiplier between the cpu and sd controller

Rockbox Utility / Ipod 6th Gen Mountpoint error

« Last post by pjcairns on September 27, 2024, 03:21:14 PM »

I am trying to install Rockbox on a 6th gen classic ipod using Windows 11.
Having gone through the iTunes/Rockbox installation process when trying to use the "Configure Rockbox Utility" & choosing the "iPod Classic (6th gen) I get the error message "Mountpoint does not exist".
Not being familiar with UNIX & its subtleties is there any way I can resolve this error other than resorting to repartitioning (using AOMEI Partition Assistant 10.4.2) & starting again?

re unstable sd card try boosting dcdc voltages or force into non HS mode in the sd driver

It's been long time but JFYI. Changing voltage and forcing non HS mode didn't help. What helped - unboosting cpu. Finally found the culprit. Not sure why but with boosted CPU sd writes are pretty fast fail on my e200v2 (only writes, reads are fine - often fails even on bookmark creation). And after cpu_boost(false) gigs are written without any errors.
It's not something sd card specific - I tried two different brands (samsung and sandisk).

Now playing screen doesn't display the seconds correctly.
They are being cut of in the middle.

Edit the WPS file and change the following:

Code: [Select]

#__Time Elapsed
%Vl(mainDisplay,30,190,40,15,2)
%al%pc
#
#__Time Total
%Vl(mainDisplay,-70,190,40,15,2)
%ar%pt

See here https://download.rockbox.org/daily/manual/rockbox-ipod6g/rockbox-uildap4.html#x24-459000D.4 to understand what to change. Ultimately I believe the width value of 40 needs to be increased to 50 for both. I've set it to 50 and it works for me with an audiobook that's more than 1hr long (so displays like 00:00:00).

The problem with doing this is it messes up the alignment of the total track time. To fix this you need to change the y value of the Time Total text from -70 to -80.

That works perfectly for me. e.g. the changes are:

Code: [Select]

#__Time Elapsed
%Vl(mainDisplay,30,190,50,15,2)
%al%pc
#
#__Time Total
%Vl(mainDisplay,-80,190,50,15,2)
%ar%pt
