115Although Rockbox is considered fully functional on the \playername{}, there are
116a few limitations compared to the original firmware which you should be aware
117of before installing.
118\begin{description}
119 \item[Filesystem support.] Rockbox only supports the FAT32 filesystem. Other
120 filesystems such as exFAT or NTFS are not supported.
121 \item[USB DAC.] This feature is not supported by Rockbox, but you can
122 dual-boot the original firmware if you want to use it.
123 \opt{shanlingq1}{\item[Wireless.] There is no support for Bluetooth or WiFi.
124 You can dual-boot the original firmware to use wireless functionality.}
125 \item[Hotswapping SD cards.] Rockbox runs from the SD card, not the internal
126 flash memory. Hotswapping is technically possible, but you need to install
127 the same version of Rockbox to each SD card.
128
129 Some features might not work correctly after hotswapping and you may
130 experience crashes or instability. Removing the SD card while data is being
131 written is liable to cause crashes and data loss, and possibly corrupt your
132 filesystem.
133 \opt{shanlingq1}{\item[Touchscreen.] There is only basic touchscreen support.
134 Further work is required to make the UI more usable with a touchscreen in
135 general.
136 \note{The touchscreen can be used in two modes, either a 3$\times$3 grid mode
137 which divides the screen into areas to emulate a set of physical
138 buttons (the default setting), or ``absolute point'' mode where the
139 touchscreen is used to point to items on the screen.\\}}
