PPENDIX SER FEEDBACK
Interfacing with other USB devices (like cameras) or 2 player games over USB
The USB system demands that there is a master that talks to a slave. The player
can only serve as a slave, as most other USB devices such as cameras can. Thus,
without a master no communication between the slaves can take place. If that
is not enough, we have no ways of actually controlling the communication per-
formed over USB since the USB circuit in the player is strictly made for disk-access
and does not allow us to play with it the way we'd need for any good communi-
cation to work.
Support other filesystems than FAT32 (like NTFS or ext2 or whatever)!
No. Rockbox needs to support FAT32 since it can only start off a FAT32 partition
(since that is the only way the ROM can load it), and addingsupport for more
file systems will just take away valuable ram for unnecessary features. You can
partition your player fine, just make sure the first one is FAT32 and then make the
other ones whatever file system you want. Just don't expect Rockbox to under-
stand them.
Add scandisk-like features!
It would be a very slow operation that would drain the batteries and take a lot of
useful ram for something that is much better and faster done when connected to
a host computer.
