2 d12nv:
We are try to began develop an open source firmware for different players. Also we want to develop usefull tools for player & test them with help of forum users like on http://forum.easydigi.com/ or s1mp3project.

So if anyone have an interest idea, usefull skills or would like to help or test new programms - post down.

Thanks for everyone that is interested in this new adventure. Not only do we need programmers but also people that help in doing some important stuff, like testers, art, fresh ideas, source code sustainers (eg. upload in sourceforge), managing a groups (like yahoo groups or google groups), webmasters, reverse engineering (eg. getting the electrical schematic directly from a mp4 palyer), moral support, etc, and globally speaking anything that can be helpful for the project.

A little effort multiplied 1000 times becomes a big one =)

I can be tester and don't worry I have a full backed up firmware (I recovered my player from ADFU mode) so if it fu*ks up I can bring it back...

also I'm from Ukraine so you won't have to break your brain trying to speak english if you'r not so good at it... I also speak french and russian.

Thanks for you suport Sersoft, however i speak neither french nor russian, so i'll still breaking my brain writting in english =) (i speak spanish). Anyway it's better for the project to keep writting in english so many people can join us without the language wall.

I've doing my duty, and i haven't found yet a free z80 C compiler, but in the middle term i've been thinking in the arquitecture as a whole, so i already have a clearer picture of the project with the dificulties we must solved.

Some things we need for starting with:
1. ATJ20xx documentation
2. Z80 free C compiler
3. Schematics for common mp4 players
4. Maybe start a group (yahoo, google, here if possible, etc) to continue with this idea

I create web page for next development http://mympxplayer.narod.ru/
Also I create a forum without necessory registration http://mympxplayer.vdforum.ru/
Have you any idea about the name of project?

[Kivin]

[fjrg76]

Great job Kivin, i've registered my self already =) ... i have no much imagination for creating names, but some come to my mind right now:

mp4Xpanded
NextMp4
Mp4Reloaded
Mp4Ever
Mp4Smart

I hope to have more ideas soon =)
