Rockboy on Sansa E250

Even Though the Rockbox port for the Sansa e200 series player isn't finished yet, I installed it on my Sansa media player. When I noticed that the gameboy emulator Rockboy wasn't playable, not only this it wasn't installed by default, I poked around in the source code and mapped the BUTTONS_TO a playable configuration. Rec is start, scroll-left is select, select is A, power is B (Just don't hold this one down to long after 15 seconds the unit shuts down) :) here is the fruit of my hour or so's labor.

well it looks like a day later the maintainer released a rockboy for sansa thats has way more functionality than my version so go get now don't just sit there why are you still reading this? go.. shoo... rockbox rocks :)

I've spent this morning revising some of my changes.

I have the save and load feature working (playing zelda with out being able to save really sucks)

changed the rec button to save/exit and the scroll-right as start

this is not in the rockbox svn I won't commit changes because I'm not a developer plus I stripped all functionality for other platforms except the sansa e200 series.

if your interested in this contact me and i can send you the changes.

Is there any way to save progress on these roms?

[SuperMoo332]

i dont like ur setup of icons and stuffs

[wormocious]

if it is a v2 you can't run rockbox. only v1 e200s can run it, check the case on the back.
