1
-
Q1. What is this NODO document?
2
-
A1. This is a list of Feature Requests we get repeatedly that we simply
3
-
cannot do on the Archos. View it as the opposite of a TODO!
4
-
5
-
Q2. Record to WAV (uncompressed) or MP3pro format!
6
-
A2. The recording hardware (the MAS) does not allow us to do this.
7
-
8
-
Q3. Crossfade between tracks!
9
-
A3. Crossfading would require two mp3 decoders, and we only have one. This
10
-
is not possible.
11
-
12
-
Q4. Interfacing with other USB devices (like cameras) or 2 player games over
13
-
USB
14
-
A4. The USB system demands that there is a master that talks to a slave.
15
-
The Archos can only serve as a slave, as most other USB devices such
16
-
as cameras can. Thus, without a master no communication between the slaves
17
-
can take place.
18
-
19
-
If that is not enough, we have no ways of actually controlling the
20
-
communication performed over USB since the USB circuit in the Archos is
21
-
strictly made for disk-access and does not allow us to play with it the
22
-
way we'd need for any good communication to work.
23
-
24
-
Q5. Support MP3pro, WMA or other sound format playback!
25
-
A5. The mp3-decoding hardware can only play MP3. We cannot make it play other
26
-
sound formats.
27
28
-
Q6. Converting OGG->MP3
29
-
A6. The mp3-decoding hardware cannot decode ogg. It can be reprogrammed, but
30
-
there is too little memory for OGG and we have no documentation on how
31
-
to program the MAS' DSP.
32
33
-
Doing the conversion with the CPU is impossible, since a 12MHz SH1 is far
34
-
too slow for this daunting task.
35
36
-
Q7. Archos Multimedia support!
37
-
A7. The Archos Multimedia is a completely different beast. It is an entirely
38
-
different architecture, differnt CPU and upgrading the software is done a
39
-
completely different way. We do not venture into this.
40
-
41
-
Others may do so. We do not.
42
-
43
-
Q8. Multi-band equalizer!
44
-
A8. The MAS only offers the standard bass/treble settings and we can't do
45
-
anything about it.
46
-
47
-
Q9. Support other filesystems than FAT32 (like NTFS or ext2 or whatever)!
48
-
A9. No.
49
-
50
-
Rockbox needs to support FAT32 since it can only start off a FAT32
51
-
partition (since that is the only way the ROM can load it), and adding
52
-
support for more filesystems will just take away valueable ram for
53
-
unnecessary features.
54
-
55
-
You can partition your Archos fine, just make sure the first one is FAT32
56
-
and then make the other ones whatever file system you want. Just don't
57
-
expect Rockbox to understand them.
58
-
59
-
Q10. Add scandisk-like features!
60
-
A10. It would be a very slow operation that would drain the batteries and take
61
-
a lot of useful ram for something that is much better and faster done
62
-
when connected to a host computer.
63
-
64
-
Q11. CBR recording!
65
-
A11. The MP3 encoding hardware does not allow this.
66
-
67
-
Q12. Change tempo of a song without changing pitch!
68
-
A12. The MP3 decoding hardware does not allow this.
69
-
70
-
Q13. Graphic frequency (spectrum) analyzer!
71
-
A13. We can't access the audio waveform from the MP3 decoder so we can't
72
-
analyze it. Even if we had access to it, the CPU would probably be too
73
-
slow to perform the analysis anyway.
74
-
75
-
Q14. Cool sound effects!
76
-
A14. Adding new sound effects requires reprogramming the MAS chip, and we can't
77
-
do that. The MAS chip is programmable, but we have no access to the chip
78
-
documentation.
