Linux... On An Ipod What an iPod is REALLY capable of

Recommended Posts

http://ipodlinux.org/

I have completely transformed my old photo iPod into a video playing, gameboy emulating, scripting machine! Yes, you can actually play uncompressed .avi videos on a photo iPod. I'm not saying that you can play new Gameboy Advance games or NDS games, but the developers at iPodLinux have created an emulator to run the roms of original gameboy games. The controls are placed around the touch wheel. You touch (not press) the upper-left corner for the "A" button, the upper-right corner for the "B" button, the lower-left corner for the "Start" button, and the lower-right corner for the "Select" button. I've been a part of the iPodLinux community for a while, and I've watched it grow and grow. And things only get better :)

If you have an iPod of any kind, from the first generation black and white screened to the latest fifth generation video iPods, I highly suggest checking this out!

Same here guys, I totally recomend it for anybody that has a non-color iPod because it just makes it even better and stuff then the regualar iPod default software.You can customize certian things and change around mutliple settings that can enhance certian fields of the iPod, you can also remove it at anytime if you don't like it. Good for any iPod and lots of fun games too.

iPodLinux is a ?CLinux-based Linux distribution targeted specifically to run on Apple Computer's iPods. Besides the kernel, iPodLinux features as a primary component podzilla and podzilla2, applications which provide: * An iPod-like interface * Video playback with sound * Support for AAC, MP3 and basic OGG playback. * Many games, including TuxChess, bluecube(tetris clone), Chopper, StepMania (a Dance Dance Revolution clone) and more. * Recording through audio jack at much higher quality than Apple's firmware * Ability to play the game Doom (both versions 1 and 2), as well as games for the Nintendo Game Boy (with appropriate add-on software). * Color scheme supportits cool, i have it!!!

I have a 30GB Video and it works perfectly fine. Although I have once had to redo the firmware. MAKE SURE to backup your firmware to a safe location if you install iPodLinux. If you don't have your firmware and your firmware gets corrupted your iPod (as far as I know) becomes useless.
