IPods are a lot of
fun but it can be even
more exciting to stretch them to their limits. One way this is done is
with an
iPod hack.
These are set up to tweak the machine so
that you
can perform different functions than come standard from the factory.
One such hack allows you to play video games right on your iPod.
This hack is mostly for people who
don’t own a video iPod and aren’t able to play the
games that Apple has started to put out for those with video iPods.
Still, even if you do have a video model you can use it in order to
play these games.
You’re going to be using something
called iPodLinux in order to play these games you’re going to
download. Don’t worry if you’ve never heard of this
because it’s easier than you think.
Here are the steps to using iPodLinux:
1.Download the iPod Linux program and make
sure you unzip the folder.
2.Put your iPod in disk mode
3.Run the installer
4.Then, you can either boot your iPod to the regular Apple interface or
you can boot the iPod Linux.
5.The next thing you’ll need to do is to eject your iPod.
6.When you start up your iPod again you should be able to start it
right into iPodLinux.
7.Finally, you can get the games you want as part of your iPod hack.
8.This next part seems a bit counterintuitive, but it will allow you to
get the games you want on your iPod. Go ahead and run the iPodLinux
install program again.
9.It will tell you that you already have the program (which you do) so
update your installation.
10.You will then be taken to a page of games that you can choose for
installation.
Finally! You will have the games you want on
your iPod. Keep in mind that doing this may or may not void your iPod
warranty; so proceed at your own caution. If you decide that installing
these games is the right thing for you, you’re sure to reach
a whole new level of enjoyment from your iPod.
It should also be mentioned that there are
great ways to get games through membership services. Actually, a small
fee will allow you to download unlimited amounts of movies, TV shows
and games. Nothing could be better when you’re into
entertainment.
Learning an iPod hack can make your iPod
even more fun. Using the steps it takes can seem a little intimidating,
but it’s actually easier than you think. Make the choice that
is right for you, and keep in mind that there are also memberships you
can join for easy one click installs.
