Homebrew Rockbox port?

[banjo2]

Ever since I got homebrew installed onto my DSi, I've wondered if a Rockbox port would be possible. I was reminded of it after seeing a post in DS(i) Noob Paradise.

Rockbox supports many sound formats, is very customizable, and is made for devices that only have a small amount of processing power, being MP3 players.

(I'm not asking anyone to "port this plz" but I'd just like to know if this would theoretically be possible, natively )

I know this is not really the answer to the question you are asking but if you are looking for a media player maybe LMP-ng can do the job.

definitely not theoretically impossible
but yeah, bet $50 that it's never going to happen sorry. even if it was 'easy', someone still has to want to do it.

Rockbox was fantastic! I had it on an old archos jukebox. I replaced the 30gb hdd with a 160gb. So much music. That thing was pretty crappy without rockbox. Would look great on a dsi! I’m sure there would be problems with closing the dsi and keeping playback. You’d have to open the dsi to change tracks on the dpad, or whichever button (L and R are too exposed) you have.

Yeah, that's true, most people would rather just use Spotify or YouTube on a phone.

Your best bet for music playback is Moonshell, or if you have a DS Lite, get a Play-Yan Micro. They play MP3s using hardware, and sound amazing.
