Yeah, it’s private unfortunately. I really enjoyed that little diversion too, wonderful project. Just enough detail in the article that you get a nice little taste of the complexity without getting lost in the detail. Bravo all round.

  I wonder why he switched it to private. Is there fear from Apple, or other device manufacturers for side-loading software? You’d think they wouldn’t really care for a discontinued product.

    (Author of linked post.) That video was recorded by another developer, who had some personal (non-legal) concerns with it and plans to reshoot.

Obviously it's not the same, but here's Doom on an iPod classic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WgpMhJijlmM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WgpMhJijlmM Hope we can see a vid of Quake on iPod soon!

  The iPod Video and lower had some pretty incredible tools and firmwares available looking back. I was part of the iPod Wizard team (mostly helped with mapping hex locations on new firmware releases and created a handful of themes, including backporting the color themes to the 4-tone generations) and contributed a bit to the iPodLinux project. At one point, I had a bootloader that let me switch between the normal firmware, Rockbox, iPodLinux, and iPod Wiki (all of Wikipedia viewable offline on your iPod) available just be restarting my iPod. It was a dumb smart phone half a decade before the iPhone. The devs on those teams really pushed that little MP3 player to do things it was never intended to do.
