New Ports / Re: Tapir Player

« Last post by speachy on July 11, 2025, 02:09:40 PM »

Thank you for your thoughtful response.  Yes I think you are right about the DAC.

We'll probably use the SF32LB52-ULP schematic as a starting point, it's likely already cost-optimised.

https://oshwhub.com/li-chuang-kai-fa-ban/li-chuang-huang-shan-pai-sf32lb52-kai-fa-ban-v1-2

I'll post a schematic here when there's an initial design. The device should be easy to flash and debug.

BTW, I wrote up a "rockbox wishlist" some time ago, just some stuff to consider when putting together a schematic:   https://www.shaftnet.org/~pizza/rb-wishlist.txt

Plugins/Viewers / PictureFlow in HiFi Walker - Green Tint

« Last post by GD on July 11, 2025, 12:51:54 PM »

Hello everyone, I want to know if there is a specific reason why the PictureFlow plugin on the HiFi Walker appear with all the album arts tinted green. It's very strange, because when I look at the same plugin on iPod reviews with Rockbox it looks fine. Thank you for your time!

Thanks, it compiles fine now.

Let's see if it runs.

Hardware / Re: Battery tables

« Last post by bahus on July 11, 2025, 04:58:58 AM »

Battery shows different higher voltage when charging hence different tables. You can try and calibrate those values for your battery if you see big differences.

It seems https://gerrit.rockbox.org/r/c/rockbox/+/6322 adds a way to adjust those values without recompilation.

« Last post by bahus on July 11, 2025, 04:33:47 AM »

disable charging via USB in order to prevent any damage to my batteries

Can be done in custom build by modifying powermgmt-ascodec.c. It seems emptying enable_charger(void) method should suffice:

Code: [Select]

static void enable_charger(void)

}

New Ports / Re: [N3DS PORT] Build errors when compiling sdl plugins (duke3d)

« Last post by bahus on July 11, 2025, 04:27:05 AM »

Seems DevkitARM  compiler is more strict about variables defined in .h files. It seems you have to make all problematic variables as extern in .h files.
For instance in display.h:

Code: [Select]

int _argc;needs to be replaced with

Code: [Select]

extern int _argc;
and define them in some c file once. For instance in engine.c:

Code: [Select]

int _argc;
