- Roger, on 12/20/2007, -4/+156Nice. I hope this works on Shuffles too.
- inactive, on 12/20/2007, -1/+88Apparently the server is running on a Gen 1 iPod

- mymate, on 12/20/2007, -7/+47not as exciting as i thought basically a theme, thought someone had managed to stick a touch screen into an ipod video

This looks GREAT! - mypreciousss, on 12/20/2007, -4/+26what, as opposed to transforming an iPod video screen into a touchscreen
- MarrowMan, on 12/20/2007, -0/+18There are a few differences, but if the question is how to determine the difference by looking at one, then the way to tell would be from Johnny Depp and Red Hot Chili Peppers on the box, or the "Search" function showing up under "Music" on the device itself (if you don't have the box).
One other subtle way to tell is to look at the Settings->Brightness control. If it has a midpoint line on the indicator, then it's a "5.5G", otherwise it's a 5G. However, that's probably the least obvious way to check, and the presence of the "Search" menu item is a far more obvious thing to look for.
The model number will also determine this, but most people might not remember that off-hand. - bysubmitted, on 12/20/2007, -2/+19Great, now hack my iPod touch so I can play 5G iPod games on it! :D

- semeticstallion, on 12/20/2007, -2/+16Two questions here:
1) How am I supposed to know if I have a 5 or 5.5G iPod?
2) Can any Mac user here verify it works with a program like AlterPod or the like instead of iPodwizard?
All in all though, this looks gorgeous! Hope I can get it up and running. - holygram, on 12/20/2007, -0/+13Because you touch yourself at night.
- jsbarone, on 12/20/2007, -1/+13What about us 6G iPod owners? I'd love to have some purtier firmware on my 80GB.
- noahhoward, on 12/20/2007, -1/+13On a story titled "iPod Touch comes to iPod video"? No, it's not, touch is a functionality not a gui.
- timusca, on 12/20/2007, -4/+15Perhaps because most iPod users are on Windows? Derr...
- gemmakicn, on 12/20/2007, -0/+10thats what the space shuttle runs on...
- mattcoady, on 12/20/2007, -0/+10I never knew my ipod had search until now. :/
- AgarwaenUmarth, on 12/20/2007, -0/+10Go to Music >> Search
If you can, then you have 5.5G. If not, then you have 5G. There's a comment tree further up if you'd like to confirm. - MarrowMan, on 12/20/2007, -1/+10I downloaded this and put it on my 5g 30gb and it worked flawlessly! thanks! DUGG
- mypreciousss, on 12/20/2007, -2/+11isn't that kinda far-fetched?
- JaredXM, on 12/20/2007, -1/+10Apple didn't make this firmware.
- boomerx01, on 12/20/2007, -3/+12Instructions:
1. Before plugging your iPod into your computer, you must set the main menu settings. This is because the background used for the hack has these icons implemented, and if you do not have this exact configuration, your main menu will either malfunction or take you to the wrong menus.
* Music
* Photos
* Videos
* Extras
* Settings
2. Plug iPod into computer, and open iPodWizard.
3. Load the firmware binary. Please, LOAD THE CORRECT FIRMWARE.
4. Click "Write to iPod".
5. When writing is done, click "Eject", but DO NOT UNPLUG YOUR IPOD.
6. Your iPod will reboot. When it has successfully rebooted, your computer will redetected. Eject it again. Now you may unplug.
7. Enjoy your iPod.
8. If you would like to load extras, see the readme.txt in the Extras folder for specific directions. - clarktechie, on 12/20/2007, -1/+10I made a demo video of this firmware on my IPod Video 5.5g... Check it out!

- yeskia, on 12/20/2007, -0/+9You sir, are an idiot.
- DeeprBlue, on 12/20/2007, -1/+10A bit awkward in places, but it manages to look even better than the Classic hack.
- ChildeRoland420, on 12/20/2007, -1/+10Why would they want to give you free interface updates (search feature on 5.5g but not 5g) when they can just make you buy the newer model?
- AgarwaenUmarth, on 12/20/2007, -0/+8You're out of luck.
- timusca, on 12/20/2007, -0/+7Yes. all 5G and 5.5G
- Frinkiac, on 12/20/2007, -1/+8Yeah because the VERY FIRST ipods only worked on macs... yes pro-mac is quite a stretch...
- noahhoward, on 12/20/2007, -4/+11Uh, yes?
- Dylson, on 12/20/2007, -0/+7Sitting on a counter.
- kingjaydub, on 12/20/2007, -0/+6like that's some huge secret
- AgarwaenUmarth, on 12/20/2007, -1/+7iPod Wizard is an .exe. I somehow doubt that Macs run Windows executables.
- xlivevilx, on 12/20/2007, -0/+5no, we dont need to hack it for a fancy new menu. but we also dont want to spend 300-400 bux on an ipod touch. were getting more out of our money. ill go buy something else instead of buying the newest ipod every year
- clarktechie, on 12/20/2007, -0/+5It was free on ITunes a week ago... Gimme a break.
- clarktechie, on 12/20/2007, -0/+5I went ahead and made one. Here you go!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSMTst6x0vY - herrshuster, on 12/20/2007, -0/+5you didn't set your main menu to what he told you, did you? that's why you can't get into certain parts
- mastershake329, on 12/20/2007, -0/+5that is the worst idea I've ever heard.
- xlivevilx, on 12/20/2007, -1/+6For the same reason the iPhone didnt come with video: Because Steve Jobs Isn't done making money
- Takuro, on 12/20/2007, -3/+8The "now playing" and main menu screens look nice, but a lot of things get f***'d up. I can't get into "extras" and certain other parts of my ipod anymore.
Also, the skinning is really inconsistent. Menus don't have a skin applied, and full-view album art has a white background. - zzzpoohzzz, on 12/20/2007, -0/+5hmmm... buy a new touch and spend hundreds of dollars and more importantly: lose many gigs of storage... or get a new menu to your old ipod... i'll take the latter
- Jibberwalk, on 12/20/2007, -0/+5... So go to iTunes, hit restore... and then no one's the wiser.
- dawnraid101, on 12/21/2007, -0/+4hahahah not funny.
- bimmerdude, on 12/20/2007, -0/+4it probably wont come to the 6g because the firmware is encrypted
- ashwin100, on 12/20/2007, -0/+4As far as I know the iPod Classic's firmware hasn't been cracked and apparently most likely never will be.
- buckdog05, on 12/20/2007, -0/+4What are you talking about? I installed it, and I just played an episode of Scrubs.
- employeeno5, on 12/20/2007, -0/+4Does anyone have video of this running? I very hesitantly downloaded their "classic" firmware a couple months ago and it worked great; I'm still using it. I'd rather not go through the trouble of installing "touch" version and losing the "classic" one if I'm not going to be very fond of how it looks in action. I know I could reset it all, it just seems like a such a bother. I'd rather leave well enough alone unless I see something really impressive.
- livestradamus, on 12/20/2007, -1/+5I want rockbox support for my 160GB iPod Classic so I can play my flac files.
I may be waiting forever - jestrella, on 12/20/2007, -0/+4this is great, i like my ipod again. I was finding ways to rationalize the purchase of a new ipod classic, but now I think I can keep it until it truly breaks. =)
- jaimeshm, on 12/20/2007, -1/+5all i gotta say is HAHA! (nelson from simpsons style). If you don't follow the instructions...
