More iPod Nano / Linux Stuff

I’ve put another iPod Linux video on Google – “playing” Half Life on the Nano. You can see it here.

Remember, to do this, you’ll need to install iPod Linux. You’ll also need iDoom installed, and the Half Life .wad file. You can find a list of wads that work with iDoom here.

  5. Got here through [H]ardocp as well. I didn’t know video was possible on the Nano!? Linux necessary…checkin’ now. Anyhoo, thanks for the hl2 video, good stuff!

  6. You put the quotes in the wrong place. You are playing “half-life” on the nano, as in you are playing Doom on an iPod which is well documented and straightforward to accomplish.

    Except you changed the WAD file. Wow. Way to go.

  13. i have ipod linux on my nano it does run videos and i have many games on it such as doom 1 and 2 and half life its not hard to fix your ipod if you mess it up you use the HP usb formating tool and then format your ipod under the FAT32 format and then it will whipe it out but there is no apple firmware on it so you just restore it with the lastest apple ipod updater and its back to normal

    i know i have bad grammer

  15. So, like every one else asks, how exactly did you install linux on iPod. it would be awsome to me if you could maybe give me some step by step instructions. the ones i followed from linux forums dont seem to work, did you do it a different way? Thanx man.

I used the hp format utility, but i was to lazy to do the rest, so i just returned it and bought a new one. I was just wondering, what download did you use to do it? I used the basic download on there website the 1st time. I think im going to try it again, should i get it?

  24. everyone ive tried it for 4 days non stop i n i couldnt get it to work but my friend did it in 1 night using same steps only on his laptop. he did mine and it works. it plays videos easily. the only advice i can give is to try on another computer. he also used 2 laptops as on his main 1 the aes part didnt work. for some strange reason it didnt work on my pc. keep on trying you will get there in the end. half life is rubbish. and there is no way your ipod can get screwed you can easily format it and restore it. im gonna watch sum more videos on my nano so see ya

  43. i have been trying relentlessly to install iPod Linux on my new iPod Nano 2G
    but with no success at all.

    1. i first tried with all well-known Windows installers
    all of them failed to detect the iPod. they all gave
    error 0 and either asked me to connect the iPod or
    said that they could not detect an iPod disk. all this
    even when the iPod was connected and available in
    Windows explorer and iTunes.

    2. i then tried installing from Linux. this time, more
    success. i was able to repartition the iPod disk and
    extract the MBR and OS from partition 1. HOWEVER,
    make_fw simply failed to extract apple_os.bin from
    the OS partition data. it always only extracts 40 bytes.
    i tried using make_fw from Windows with the same results.

    3. i tried downgrading the iPod firmware using an old iPod
    updater from Apple. however, this older tool does not
    support my iPod.

    my configuration:
    – iPod Nano 2G
    – latest iTunes

    how were you successful with putting iPod Linux on your Nano 2G?

  46. as far as i know, it has not been possible to
    install Linux on the iPod Nano 2G (2nd
    generation). it does work on the Nano 1G (1st
    generation).

    actually, i tried several ways of installing
    Linux on my iPod Nano 2G. all of them failed
    because iPodLinux is still not supported on
    the Nano 2G. note the 2G.

    however, i do know what steps to take to install
    Linux on the iPod Nano. these do not work with
    the 2G Nano but will work on the Nano 1G. these
    are the best set of instructions i could get off
    the net.

    pls visit these pages for help with installing
    Linux on the Nano. note that these instructions
    will not work with the iPod Nano 2G.
