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

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 smile.gif

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!

I have that for my Ipod as well! It's a great tool, I even have some games like "Doom" and "Final Fantasy" on mine. Recommended for everyone with an Ipod.

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 µCLinux-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 support


its 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.

    processors and yada yada, but I don't know if this is true or if a bunch of Mac elitists said a
    bunch of crap and ran with it. I don't think there are actual comparable benchmarks, but if
    there are, where does Linux lie in the hardware efficiency race? (Or is it dependent on which Linux
    distribution it is, like how XP still beats Vista in performance?)....
  11. What Made You Switch To Linux?

    very user friendly and Windows-like. After reading through a bunch of message boards and learning
    which distros are good for what, I soon realized my current distro was great for Linux noobs. So
    then I decided to try something a little more advanced like Slackware which I knew had a steep
    learning curve. Since then I've been using Slackware as my main OS and couldn't ....

    About three years ago I decided to learn how to use Linux and after a lot of posts on a forum I
    tried Ubuntu Linux as it was recommended as a good first Linux distro. Ubuntu is not the easiest
    Linux distro to use but with its unmatched forum community support it is one of the easiest to learn
    to use. One of the problems with learning Linux is that a lot of users have an attitude that Linux
    should be a free Windows knock off which it is not. Ubuntu is build on a Linix core or kernel and is
    a different Open Source and free as in to use operating system. This brings us to t....

  26. Linux - Why It Fails As A Desktop Operating System?
    (34)
    Linux is becoming such a craze nowadays that not even a single day passes without one or other
    distribution releasing a new version. But why is it failing so miserably in the desktop arena. The
    answer lies in three reasons. 1. The plethora of distributions -
    Redhat,Debian,Ubuntu,Suse,Gentoo,Knoppix - everbody and his uncle is coming out with new ones. 2.
    The lack of backward compatibility - I had Redhat 7.3 running. I upgraded to Redhat 9. Many
