  3. Re:What I want... on Xiph.org Releases Theora Alpha One · · Score: 1

    Hey guys, after some minor *hacking* you can get the RioVolt SP-250, to use the Iriver IMP250 firmware. I am pretty sure that they do not support Ogg-vorbis yet, but IMO their firmware is superior (more features etc.) If you want to know how to hack the Iriver firmware, follow the instructions below.


    IMPORTANT
    The hack worked fine on my player, I accept absolutely no responsibility in the event that it [being the firmware hack] messes up (screws up, destroys, renders unusable... etc.) your RioVolt.

    1) Download the IMP-250 firmware and extract it.
    2) Open it up in your favorite hex editor. I used Hex Workshop.
    3)Change the first 16 characters to

    53502D3235300000

    4)Save the file, and quit.
    5)Rename the file from "IMP-250.hex" to "SP-250.hex"
    6)Burn the file to the root of a CD, throw it in your RioVolt, and enjoy.

    (MAKE SURE THE POWER DOES NOT DIE WHILE FLASHING THE FIRMWARE!)
    If you have any problems e-mail me (subject: SLASHDOT)
    Happy Hacking!

    Most mp3 CD players do this. I know from experience that all the riovolt players require you to burn the firmware file to the root of the disc, pop it in, turn it on, wait 30sec, remove the disc and go.

  17. One feature I hope that they leave out on ARCADE: Blinkenlights with Tetris · · Score: 1

    I remmember reading about Blinkenlights, and when I noticed that you could send an sms message to it, all that came to my head was either someone using it as
    a) A giant spam-board
    or b) a way to increase the web-counter for goatse.cx (no more... PLEASE!)

    So now that it will have a higher res, all I find myself thinking is
    Please! no more messaging!

    On a sidenote, what happens if x (insert large number) all call and try to play at the same time? Or, what happens to a system that has 78000 watts (26*20*150Watts) running through it and gets slashdotted?
