Rockbox Utility will ask you for a compatible copy of the original
firmware. This is because for legal reasons we cannot distribute
the bootloader directly. Instead, we have to patch the \playerman{}
firmware with the Rockbox bootloader.
Download a supported version of the \playerman{} firmware for your
\playername{} from the \playerman{} website, links can be found on
\wikilink{SansaFuzePlusPort}.
