Rockbox – Another firmware for your iPods
Sunday, November 9th, 2008 by Peter Zhang
Rockbox is an open source firmware for media players, including iPod. It has a lot of features that iPod native firmwares can’t provide, such as watching a movie on an 1st gen iPod nano, or even play a GameBoy game on it.
However, it only support iPod models up to 1rd gen nano or iPod VIdeo (5.5G). (No, they don’t support shuffles :P). For a complete list, visit this site: http://build.rockbox.org/
The image above shows the screen of the “Now Playing” screen. Rather amazing, right?
If you want to install, follow this link and find the corresponding instructions for your media player: http://www.rockbox.org/manual.shtml
If you have any questions about it, feel free to ask in here. Have fun with it!
