I created this thread for keeping you up to date when I release a new version of ZVMWizard and to not bloat the original thread.
There isn't much changed, but I've added a debug option to the editing of Hjukebox.grs, so (hex-)editors can see more easily what other blocks besides the PNG blocks contain.

I believe the text color and other information (maybe positioning of the images?) are located in these blocks (with Format=1 & Format=3 maybe).

The other formats (2 & 4) contain PNG images and the name of the used font in the current theme (so it would be possible of using several fonts throughout different themes i.e. the blue one and the pink one and it would maybe be possible to use several fonts in the *same* theme)

That isn't a problem at all I don't code closed-source.

Be warned that this code is pretty old, so it doesn't look very nice

Please use something else to host your files, rapidshare and megaupload are bloated with ads and wait times. Try zshare.net or sharebee.com

I'm going to post this here:
the reason why I'm so absent on the forums and rockbox etc. is because I'm having exams right now.
So I won't be here for another 2 weeks or so.

btw, zook released some similar tools on the rockbox forums yesterday, see the wiki for downloads. Zenutils, they are called. This zook has put really much hard work into this, and he doesn't even own a zvm himself!
His tools also decrypt the fboot, fresc and TL block. I dunno what we can do with this though, think you have to be some kind of genius to understand it, but it's interesting to look at the file, got lots of different strings.
As far as i understand the rockbox thread, the TL block contains the drivers for the lcd screen and buttons etc. maybe this helps mcuelenaere and the rockbox people able to make their own for rockbox?
You'll also see that there exists files on the player not included in the firmware archive (nk.bin), like jukebox.hds for example.

Sadly, there still seems to be some problems with the encryption, though. (Some) parts of the TL block contains errors ("assertion failed" or something). So I don't think we are able to put it all back together and make it work again.

Here's a link to the wiki on rockbox.org (i really hate the layout of that site, soo hard finding what you're looking for):

Best of luck for exams MC, make sure you concntrate more on them than this, congrats for the hard work so far

And your right, the rockbox wiki, actually the entire site is really hard to navigate, but some of those pages are so intresting if you just randomly browse, personally I have bookmarked the ZVM port wiki page and make sure I check it for updates everyday

You might also want to check out the thread at rockbox about the porting. I've read the entire thread. I don't understand all of it, but it's really interesting to read how they found the keys for the checksums. Some of the posts by mcuelenaere and zook also contain a lot of info which is not present in the wiki.

Again, i will post the link, because of the bad page design, although you can also find the link in the wiki:

Yeah, like looking at the end of the files, comparing the different firmware versions to see if there was some pattern in the empty bytes at the end.
Can't wait till mculenaere is finished with his exams. Will you be working on porting rockbox now, or continue modifying the original firmware?
And good luck!
