Oldest:

Since no one is providing a compiled Gigabeat Rockbox that suits my taste and is also up to date. I just made one for myself and tested it a bit. It seems that it is stable and without the glitch (crashes in a few cases, like showing Version and playing plugins) as appeared in previous patched builds, and I thought a few people might also find suit. So I am sharing the file here.

The build is based on SVN revision r14426 and patches as of 20070822. The patches are:
