+title: Rockbox on my iRiver H120
+---
+
+<p>
+This was already reported on <a href='http://engadget.com/'>Engadget</a>
+and <a href='http://slashdot.org/'>Slashdot</a>, but in case you missed
+it; <a href='http://rockbox.org/'>Rockbox</a> has been ported to the <a
+href='http://www.iriver.com/html/product/prpa_product.asp?pidx=43'>iRiver
+H100 series</a>! The bad news: No realtime <acronym title='MPEG 1/Layer
+3 Audio'>MP3</acronym> playback (yet). The good news: <a
+href='http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/IriverPort#Rockboy_plugin'>Rockboy</a>,
+a port of the <a href='http://gnuboy.unix-fu.org/'>gnuboy gameboy
+emulator</a>! It's still a little rough around the edges, so I've
+started submitting
+patches. The <a href='/download/rockboy_menu-20050303.tar.gz'>first
+patch</a> &mdash; which has already been accepted to <acronym
+title='Concurrent Versioning System'>CVS</acronym> &mdash; adds a menu
+to Rockboy, and the <a
+href='/download/rockboy_state-20050304.patch'>second patch</a> adds load
+and save state support (via the menu).
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Anyway, <a href='http://rockbox.org/'>Rockbox</a> is great. It boots up
+about 3 times faster than the stock iRiver interface, and it has a lot
+more features, too! If you're an H120 owner who's unfazed by flashing
+firmware and cross compiling, then I highly recommend you give <a
+href='http://rockbox.org/'>Rockbox</a> a try (once the <acronym
+title='MPEG 1/Layer 3 Audio'>MP3</acronym> playback is ironed out, that
+is). As my parting gift, here's Bionic Commando running on my H120 (and
+a couple shots of my menu system as well):
