Fast (tetsuized?) Kernel For Sharp Rom, Does it help mplayer play wmv files better? Options

[the_oak]

My 6000 is a favorite device, except for one thing. Video playback of wmv files! They are slow motion, and choppy. I wonder if installing the fast kernel as described here would help. I also have an NEC MobilePro 900C (with cmonex rom) that has the same processor and a screen that is ... how should I put it? AWFUL! Yet it will play these wmv files just fine. It has no video acceleration (that I know of). It kills me that my Z (with it's gorgeous screen) can't do this too!

Has anyone used the instructions linked to above? Are these instructions fairly dummy-proof? Will this kernel help with mplayer? And is this kernel 100% compatible with Sharp ROM and ipks I already have?

I think that Guylhem was essentially taking the tetsu kernel, as much of cacko as could be imported, and rolling a ROM without all the symlinks in it that made Cacko a nuisance (i.e. /usr/bin.rom held all the binaries in cramfs loopback mount, and so /usr/bin/ls was a softlink).

using aufs (a unionfs variant) would make life much easier as you could use squashfs (which cannot be rewritten unlike cramfs) for the base distribution, and then you can mount an overlay from another flash partition and/or SD and/or CD card. You can then experiment with the system and even break it, then fix it by removing the overlay!
