Hmm. I used virtual XP, but that didn't solve my problem. Try the installation from another machine if you can.

r859 is the latest I could get. I know there are some builds after this version but the links I can find seem no longer available. By the way, I used a Windows XP running on a virtual machine on top of a Mac OS X. The USB connection/mount could really get flaky.

Hello guys,
I just bought a used iPod Classic 120GB (2G) and installed Rockbox on it a day after. It works like a charm (kudos to every single person involved!)...
...except Doom. You probably are aware of that bug. When you click play, the OS get stuck while "Starting graphics engine" (http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/12721 - not my bug report though).
I tried to search a solution but found nothing useful. Well, in this thread there are some hints that turning of "user timer" fixes it, but I don't really understand what to do.
Can anybody help me?

i also , tested on Ipod Classic 160GB (7G) on "rockbox-ipod6g.zip" latest file from rockbox.org page, trying to launch Doom, tried it on older versions, same result, i tried once before on a older version, and somehow it went past the graphics engine but quickly hanged at the line after ... please fix this ... DOOM is the father of proper FPS games and it would sure rock to play it on a Classic.. :)
also please help !!!!!
i am using latest build "rockbox-ipod6g.zip" from rockbox.org and i get Left and Right music channels swapped!!! i used to think the sound was dull now i realized it's because Rockbox is swapping the sound!! when i play it in Foobar2000 on my Windows 7 64-bit desktop, on the same headphones (JVC FLATS HA-160B black, from Amazon) it plays fine!!! but i notice in Kendrick Lamar's "Bitch Don't Kill My Vibe" using the same MP3 file the bling at the beginning plays normally on the right on my PC but on the Rockbox'ed classic it plays on the left ... so everything doesn't sound naturally stereo separated... please i don't know how to apply .patch file so please help me the poor man. i NEED my music in TRUE STEREO!!! thank you :) :) :)

I almost blinked when I saw the emCore installation page, but I just double-checked the Rockbox forums, and going by what I'm reading here, after installing emCORE, we can finally use Rockbox Utility.

I feel the exact same way. After reading as much as I could on this thread, I've come to the conclusion that it's just too temperamental for me to want to try. Sucks too because drag and drop and EQ sound so good to me. :(

It's good to be cautious, but if you follow the steps you should be allright. In case you mess up it's very very likely you'll be able to recover using iTunes to the OF. Once Emcore is succesfully installed you're safe, and you can mess up Rockbox as much as you want, holding down the menu and select key for seven seconds will reboot the Classic and bring you back to the bootmenu. I've used r859 ever since the day it came out, not a single crash or reboot for me. On the original firmware on the other hand....

So I installed Rockbox, and I love the features so far. That being said, the battery on my ipod drains really fast now. Does anyone have any suggestions for a specific build or changes I can make to alleviate this? I am running Emcore r859 and a daily build from January.
