3 | Installing the bootloader is only needed once. It simply requires you | ||
4 | to replace a file on your \dap{} with the Rockbox bootloader. To be able | ||
5 | booting the original firmware please make sure to rename the original file | ||
6 | properly. If you ever wish to uninstall Rockbox you should keep a backup copy | ||
7 | of the original file. | ||
8 | |||
9 | \begin{itemize} | ||
10 | \item Download the Rockbox bootloader. \fixme{Currently there isn't a | ||
11 | prebuild bootloader available and you'll need to build it yourself. | ||
12 | This is described in the wiki. Once a prebuild bootloader is available | ||
13 | the link comes here. Have a look at \download{bootloader/}.} | ||
14 | \item Starting at the root folder of your player browse into the folder | ||
15 | \fname{GBSYSTEM} and from that into the subfolder \fname{FWIMG}. | ||
16 | These folders are hidden. You can enter them by simply typing the name in | ||
17 | Windows explorers location bar or changing the display settings. | ||
18 | \item In that folder you'll find a file called \fname{FWIMG01.DAT}. Rename | ||
19 | the file to \fname{FWIMG01.DAT.ORIG}. Make sure you spelled that name | ||
20 | correctly as it is needed for booting the \playerman{} firmware. | ||
21 | \item Now copy the file \fname{FWIMG01.DAT} you downloaded to that folder. | ||
22 | Make sure the spelling is correct. | ||
