Help update the Firmware Editor

Oh,ok in understand now.
I think it will be better if the current function :"creat new item with selected rect" would simply add the item in the lst just like you see it in the image,so if it's relative to the start offset it should make the difference between the image offset and the start.That way will work for both sequential images and not .

The way it works in RKLogoEdit is if you want to jump over a picture for example you get a .lst entry like:-

ItemName=FM
ShortDesc=Radio
ItemDesc=FM RADIO
ItemID=940
ItemType=1
SubType=0
ItemFlag=0
ItemRect=0,0,240,320
OffSet=-1,&h11D0

whereas a sequential entry would be :-

ItemName=FM
ShortDesc=Radio
ItemDesc=FM RADIO
ItemID=940
ItemType=1
SubType=0
ItemFlag=0
ItemRect=0,0,240,320
OffSet=-1,0

note the difference in the line "OffSet=" , the "relative offset"

This method could be used for the dancemammal editor too to jump over pictures or only choose selected pictures.

Yeah, we're all looking forward to firmware extraction so we can play a little on our players...

Hi All,

I guess it's update time,

Sorry it's been so long, my job does sometimes get in the way

Most of the work on the Editor has been completed, the rest of my time has been spent on the extractor.

I will have to split the next release into two parts

1. The Editor
2. Firmware Extractor

this will give me more time to work on the extractor.

New Features of the editor:

Import / Export of all images in firmware
Backup / Restore of players data
Text String Resource Editor
Firmware CRC32 creator
More LST file menu options
16bit and 24bit image import
Export Raw Data
LST file header editor

Firmware Extractor (In Progress)

Direct USB Access
USB Enumeration
Firmware Extract to file
Flash Ram Scrape

I have spent many sleepless nights reading USB specs (hope you all appreciate it)

I will be releasing the Editor Soon, hopfully followed by the extractor (once I get it working)

Cheers
Dancemammal

I think a lot more people would be pleased with a working extractor then upgrading the editor.

p.s. Hooray for Dancemammal!

Hooray!

Yes, the extractor would be much better to have.

I'll ask again... Is there any possibility of getting SigmaTel firmware themed? I love my Meizu M6SL but i don't feel like selling my old player and that interface is UGLY. :P
