i am a brand new fuze buyer and very happy with it except for i’m really eager to have rockbox, and i unfortunately have only a v2 which doesnt have RB. i’ve used RB in the past on my iAudio AND iRiver (old-school!) and love it - i really would welcome it for the v2 and judging from google/forum threads, many people are as well. is there any news on a v2 port? is the hardware that different?
Uh, there is a version for the V2 Fuze. It’s just not an official version. They mark it as unofficial/unstable, but I have yet to run into a problem with it.
I’ve been running it for weeks and it’s great.
While there is now a port to the V2 Fuze, back in August 2009 when that post was written, there was no such port.
There was a skin breaking change made in the code last weekend. If you’re running a daily build newer then r26641 you can get the themes here: http://themes.rockbox.org/.

Can you play video on a Rockboxed Fuze?
Yes, but Rockbox and the original Sansa firmware each require different video encoding, so a video encoded for one firmware won’t play on the other, though I suspect that once you get using Rockbox you won’t often be booting the original firmware anyway. You can easily use a program like WinFF to convert video for Rockbox (screen size is same as iRiver H100/H300 series so those WinFF presets are fine). If you search this board and elsewhere you can find various programs and scripts and batch files for encoding video for either Sansa Firmware or for Rockbox.
The stock firmware supports up to 32GB, the largest capacity in the microSDHC spec. As far as I know, Rockbox also supports up to 32GB. Any larger is part of the microSD X C spec, which very likely requires a hardware change.
32 GB will do for now, but since all my music is encoded at 24-bit/96 KHZ, that will just hold about 25-30 albums.
Has anyone heard if Sandisk plans on upgrading their players to support their next-generation 64 gb cards?
