i have a 5th gen 80 Gb ipod. ROck box wont show on the menu when you get to select if you want ipod linux and apple os and when i try booting ipod linux it says err. I had to use the 5.5 download because the 5 gen download said it couldnt find my ipod. I don't wanna have to restore it... again. please help.
Dude thank you soooooooo much for this......I have been trying to install ipl on my mini forever and I couldn't get it to work even with the official installer......but i went to the link on this video and found a mini installer and it worked in like five seconds.........helped me so much.
To make this clear for everyone, THIS IS ONLY FOR IPOD VIDEOS 5.5th Generation. To know if your ipod video is a 5th generation or a 5.5th generation do the following: On the back of your Ipod is a serial number, if the last three digits of your serial number are V9K, V9P, V9M, V9R, V9L, V9N, V9Q, V9S, WU9, WUA, WUB, WUC, and X3N this means your Ipod Video is a 5.5th generation, otherwise it is a 5th generation. If you want to install linux on your 5th G go to miche.aqua-gero dot com/5g/
workd fine for me took me 2 trys for some reason but worked the second time THANKS A TON the only video that worked for me all the others couldnt detect my ipod tho rockbox is much better sorry lol
No video for a while. My comp won't boot, its got a virus. It's all my new routers fault, it SUCKS. and are you two below thanking me? or the video guy? Zeroslackr does work 100% with my 30gig 5.5 gen ipod video. and I do have a gba, so I can legally own gba bios. I also have an nes, so I can run roms as well. Master blaster is my FAVORITE game ever. To bad I can never beat it on my ipod. It's cuz I need cheats on the nes to beat it, and no cheats for the ipod... :(
DO NOT USE THIS VIDEO PEOPLE!!!! This installer will do minimal things, and if you want extras, like Gameboy advance emulators, this will not work. Instead, try zeroslakr. I will post a video about it soon. I just installed with that and it was WONDERFUL! It installs a bunch of emulators, and for the gba emulator, all you need is the bios. That is illegal to distribute, so it could not be. More will come in a video, but this installed in less than a MINUTE! And it doesn't delete your songs.
oh that just sucks... When I used this installer to test, I didn't look at the uninstallation... now I have to restore everything on my ipod AGAIN. Then I'll try zeroslakr and respond to you all.
you need to install a music player. Just go to the ipod linux wiki site for all the extra stuff. This might not work for some people. I ran it on my old comp, and it worked. My new comp calls it a trojan, and I KNOW its not a trojan. It just might not work for some.
hmm, I didn't use this installer, I did it manually. I just tried this way, and it seems that this linux is worthless. theres no point to it unless you want the bootloader. Thats cuz you can't install anything. I even used a live cd of linux to try and get the files into the linux partition. I followed all the steps for iDarcNES and it doesn't work. Neither does MAME. You all might want to try Zeroslakr, it does everything like this and installs a bunch of programs.
Hey could u help me, i have the 3rd generation and I installed iPodlinux and rockbox but when I press Select+Menu it restarts but it doesnt let me choose the firmware...
great job man, i love the videos for rockbox and linux installations, they were better than the manuals on rockbox, and the people who said linux couldn't get put on a 5.5g, you should email your videos to linux and rockbox to use instead of instruction manuals lol
man you fuckin rule!!! i finally got these two to boot without fucking each other up!!!!
feels good to choose between ipod linux or rockbox or even the regular OS 8) its like 2:30am here (i had been up for 2 hours figuring this out) so again i thank you!
ok i follwed ur steps but instead of video i used the mini linux installer and after that i follwed every sibngle step properly and i unplugend and then restarted but that menu didnt pop up only rockbox??? so wat do i do
ya, dude, i followed the viedo, but when i go to the ipl menu, i click on ipodlinux and it says that the file type is unknown, and it wont open, whats goin on? (p.s., im following what you said that u would help people with lunux on the youtube viedo) can u help me?
ya, dude, i followed the viedo, but when i go to the ipl menu, i click on ipodlinux and it says that the file type is unknown, and it wont open, whats goin on?
i did this buy i dont get the blue ipod loader when i restart it i just get the apple firmware but i can hold rewind after i restart it and it will boot ipodlunix but theryres no way to get rockbox to load
help please but these videos have been best so far for me i no that others r good but urs have been easyiest to follow and stuff
if it is not working on your 5g ipod video make sure that when you go to that site you are downloading 5.5 and not five, then it should work, same thing I did.
i know man thanks but it was to late I installed rockbox and my ipod dont work anymore if some one knows how to bring it to life let me know =( i didnt unplug the ipod during the installation but still dont work please anyone contact me....
i tried this on both of my ipod videos, one is a 5g and a 5.5g, and it never work, when i reset it, it goes directly to rockbox, and i never see a window that says ipod linux or anything
Thanks a bazillionmilliontrillion!!! Really easy to follow guide. Worked perfectly....but im still having trouble downloading other games on....such as doom. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Okay, i got rockbox onto my ipod. Its all working swell. Now how do i get pacman and doom onto it???
Plleeeeeez. That video was just what got it to work. All these other ones are longgggg and not helpful at all. Thanks a bazillliontrillionmillion times 4327189047328901
I don't really know why I even decided to get Linux on my iPod Video, but it's nice knowing you have it there, just in case you might, er, need it, I guess.
Thanks for the video, it was really easy to understand .
