Make your OLD iPod MODERN!

#iPodMods #GameBoy #Pokemon
Upgrading your iPod Classic's experience is a great side project with some fun payoffs! You can upgrade that dusty old hard drive to MASSIVE storage for your whole music library, but you can ALSO load up your iPod with your favorite GameBoy games, and even install official iPod Games from the iTunes Store!
Is the iPod Video YOUR next retro handheld device that also happens to be a great music player?

Was geeking out over this. Cool to know you can do all this stuff on an old ipod.

This is awesome

Super interesting breakdown dude! I was obsessed with Vortex back in the day. Super addictive. I spent so many hours playing it on the train back when I lived in Chicago. How did you get the clear iPod enclosure? I would definitely rock a clear/purple one like my old game boy color back in the day 🙌

for pacman you can slide your thumb around the clickwheel like a touch dpad it actually plays quite well.

I have my Dads old iPod. Harddrive died and now this something I want to do! I must restore it!

[@Z.D.G.Entertainment745]

I always wanted an iPod when I was in elementary school but by the time my parents said i was old enough to get a a iPhone was better to get

Danke ❤

All I got personally is 3 ipod shuffles, 2 that have a dead battery. 1 that has a battery that lasts about an hour. I know I can't do anything other than listen to music on them but your video inspired me to maybe fix them up and backup my CDs to them.

Ha awesome! Thanks for watching 🤘

Cant wait till you get 1k

[@Auvi_Silver]

Hey do you think you can make a short video not sped up of how to download the Pokemon games on the iPod and does it work on the iPod gen 7 classic mostly just want the Pokemon yellow. Thank You!

[@NickGulan]

Any chance you could make a new video in 2024 showing how to get the original IPod 20 games on you iPod. I can’t get it to work with the information I can find

[@McSmeecherson]

Random question but have you done any podcasts? Your voice sounds so familiar

[@just_little_bit_fun]

I really want to install official ipod click wheel games, but there is something I'm afraid of. Will my files on my ipod be deleted after installing the frimware that I downloaded via ipod wirad?

[@ScatteredBrain]

If you do it right, it shouldn’t. You need to upload a modified firmware image that doesn’t restore the device. Good luck! Thanks for watching 😊

[@MISSxSlNlSTER]

Would modding the device like this erase existing files/music?

[@ScatteredBrain]

Installing rock box won’t, but if you swap the hard drive with the microSD card it will. Thanks for watching!

[@MISSxSlNlSTER]

@@ScatteredBrain thank you for the reply :) I have a set of two 1tb ipods so I'm good on that front :)

[@mr.n476]

Surprised there's no Doom

[@hakovan.si69420]

[@squiddobutboy]

[@nil006]
