Found Video: iPod with NES Controller

by Mat Lu (RSS feed) on Jan 18th, 2007

Our sister blog Engadget found this pretty dang cool iPod hack. Somebody has hooked up an old NES controller for use with an iPod Photo to play Doom. As you can see on the original site, this involved adding a USB port to the bottom of his iPod to which the controller connects. And of course the software is courtesy of the iPod Linux folks (which we've mentioned before). Before you break out that soldering iron, make sure your iPod is supported.

Pac Mac/Ms. Pac Man on your iPod

by Dave Caolo (RSS feed) on Mar 8th, 2006

Forget Breakout. Those industrious folks at the iPodLinux Project have gotten Pac Man and Ms. Pac Man to run on their 5G iPods, as well as their nanos. It's actually an iPod port of the MAME project, and it just looks fantastic. I may have to install Linux on my 'Pod just so I can check this out.

How to Make Your Own Video iPod Now

by C.K. Sample, III (RSS feed) on Aug 12th, 2005

iPodLinux Project logoC|Net.com has a 6 part tutorial walking you through all the steps you need to take to install Linux on your iPod and then make your own makeshift Video iPod. This news isn't new as we've covered it before, but for those of you who were thinking about doing it, but haven't yet, because you weren't clear on all the steps, this is a pretty good step-by-step.

Check it out, but keep in mind that the end result is "gimmicky: the videos are really small and don't have any sound. But you'll be sure to turn heads in public places with your iPod movies, and your new arsenal of games will come in handy when you're killing time at the bus stop."
