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> — which has already been accepted to <acronym +title='Concurrent Versioning System'>CVS</acronym> — 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): +</p> + +<p> +<a href='/screenshots/rockboy-20050304/dscf0225.jpg'><img src='/screenshots/rockboy-20050304/thumb/dscf0225.jpg' width='160' height='182' border='0' title='rockboy on the iriver h120' /></a> +<a href='/screenshots/rockboy-20050304/dscf0226.jpg'><img src='/screenshots/rockboy-20050304/thumb/dscf0226.jpg' width='160' height='182' border='0' title='rockboy on the iriver h120' /></a> +<a href='/screenshots/rockboy-20050304/dscf0227.jpg'><img src='/screenshots/rockboy-20050304/thumb/dscf0227.jpg' width='160' height='182' border='0' title='rockboy on the iriver h120' /></a> +<a href='/screenshots/rockboy-20050304/dscf0228.jpg'><img src='/screenshots/rockboy-20050304/thumb/dscf0228.jpg' width='160' height='182' border='0' title='rockboy on the iriver h120' /></a> +<a href='/screenshots/rockboy-20050304/dscf0229.jpg'><img src='/screenshots/rockboy-20050304/thumb/dscf0229.jpg' width='160' height='182' border='0' title='rockboy on the iriver h120' /></a> +<a href='/screenshots/rockboy-20050304/dscf0230.jpg'><img src='/screenshots/rockboy-20050304/thumb/dscf0230.jpg' width='160' height='182' border='0' title='rockboy on the iriver h120' /></a> +<a href='/screenshots/rockboy-20050304/dscf0231.jpg'><img src='/screenshots/rockboy-20050304/thumb/dscf0231.jpg' width='160' height='182' border='0' title='rockboy on the iriver h120' /></a> +</p> + |
