Note

The 1.1 version is now quite old. We didn't manage to release the 1.2 version before the summer vacation, so we would recommend you to try one of the daily builds if you want to experience the true Rockbox power.

Version 1.1

Recorder support, playlists and scrolling are the main new features of this version. Read the release notes.

player-old This version is for old Archos Jukebox 6000 models with ROM firmware older than 4.50. rockbox-1.1-player-old.mod

player This version is for Archos Jukebox 5000, 6000 with ROM firmware 4.50 or later, and all Studio models. rockbox-1.1-player.mod Bug: Bass and treble adjustment does not work.

recorder This version is for all Archos Jukebox Recorder models. rockbox-1.1-recorder.ajz Bug: MP3 playback only works on Recorder 20, not 6 or 10. PLAY key is not detected, use RIGHT.

User interface simulators

• player simulator 1.1 for linux-x86 (48300 bytes) (if you don't have libgcc_s.so.1, get it here)
• recorder simulator 1.1 for linux-x86 (98184 bytes)
• player simulator 1.1 for win32 (126976 bytes)
• recorder simulator 1.1 for win32 (172032 bytes)

The simulators browse a directory called 'archos' in the directory they are started from. Create it and copy some mp3 files there. The buttons are simulated on the numeric keypad:

Player

4/6 = prev/next, 8 = play, 2 = stop, enter = menu, + = on

Recorder

4/6 = left/right, 8/2 = up/down, 5 = play/pause, / * - = menu keys, +/enter = on/off

Installation

Rename your current archos.mod (if any) in the root of your archos, then copy the rockbox archos.mod there. Make sure it's called "archos.mod" (5000,6000,Studio) or "ajbrec.ajz" (Recorder).

To remove the Rockbox firmware, just reverse the process: Rename the rockbox archos.mod file and replace it with your original firmware file. If you had no firmware file, just renaming or removing the rockbox file is sufficient.

(Note that some models cannot shut off while the power adapter is plugged in.)
