A17. The developers have discussed this. There has been a variety of supporting those?
A17. At the current time we belive this is not very likely (though
we are not completely closing out this possibility). The Micronas
chip (MAS3507) decoder in the archos does not natively support ogg
decoding and there is very little program space in the player to
implement it ourselves. The alternative would be to write a software
decoder as part of the RockBox firmware. However, as much as we love
our players, the computing power of the Archos (SH1 microcontroller) is
not fully sufficent for this need (Once again, this is not a definative
no. The world is full of brilliant people. We just aren't hunting
down all the ones not already involved with the project right this
instant).
Q18. When do you think there is a version available for my Archos?
A18. The developers have discussed this. There has been a variety of
dates bantered about. The truth is we don't really know, but a good dates bantered about. The truth is we don't really know, but a good
guestimate would be 1 to 3 months before we have full working source guestimate would be 1 to 3 months before we have full working source
for the Archos. Following that, we figure it should only be a week or for the Archos (as of late April 2002). Following that, we figure it
two before we finish porting Quake II to the platform. (Please see should only be a week or two before we finish porting Quake II to the
question 24 regarding this issue). platform. (Please see question 24 regarding this issue).
Q18. I don't see you mentioning ogg files on your list of ideas. What about
supporting those?
A18. At the current time this is not considered a possible option. The
Micronas chip MAS3507 decoder in the archos doesnt support ogg decoding
and there is too little program space in the player to implement it
ourselves. The alternative would be to write a software decoder as part
of the RockBox firmware. However, as much as we love our players, the
