Bojangles Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 I just installed Rockbox, a new os for my 5g 30gb Ipod video. It's pretty sweet you can have a background image with it, custom eqs, and tons of games! If you're tech savvy and have an ipod, check it out. http://www.rockbox.org I installed it in like 5 minutes. The good part is it can dual boot and you still have Apple's firmware safely tucked away. I'll post some screenshots later or tomorrow. I'm too busy playing right now.

Gat Bush Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 is the music still copyright protected? Edit - my farts smell like swamp gas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bojangles Posted March 29, 2007 Author Share Posted March 29, 2007 I was nervous as hell too about the potential of ruining an expensive piece of equipment as well but if you understand how to unzip a file to where the instructions tell you, you'll have no problem. I just took some pics of the themes and Doom playing on it. A little blurry...sorry, I'm preoccupied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Issac Brock Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Sounds cool, cause I hate ipods. At least you can do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
potholder Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 I have a friend who uses rockbox. it also allows you to play FLAC files without converting them first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26SidedCube Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 It kinda sucks having this second-generation shit. At least mine hasn't broken like everyone else's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLIK$ Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 i have one of the first 30gb video ipods ever released and ive never had a serious problem with it. i also didnt pay for it and thusly have no kind of warranty for it. So maybe some divine power is protecting it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So maybe some divine power is protecting it. I'm saying. People are always talking about their shit breaking within a year of having it. I don't know what's up with all that noise; maybe Sony got wise and decided to make something that breaks easily after the 3rd gens. All I know is that I copped mine at half-cost FOREVER ago and the worst that's happened was having it lock-up for a week. Dudes must be brushing their teeth with these things.
