Turn your iPod into an arcade

[image:550 align=left hspace=5]Owners of the 5th generation iPod and the iPod Nano can now enjoy some classic arcade games on the go with iPod MAME. This port of the MAME arcade emulator is available thanks to the kind people over at iPod Linux. As of now, the only functioning titles are Pacman and Ms. Pacman, but an effort is being made to increase the number of games that function with the software.

i put ipod linux on my 4th-gen photo ipod once. It worked just fine, but it wouldnt turn off. I eventually had to do the "intense-restore" thing from the computer to fix the problem, but it was still pretty cool to run doom on my ipod for a few hours.

thats pretty cool but with only those 2 games so far I might not try risking it and destroying yet another ipod nano (*cough* in the toilet...)..

It says on the website that 4th generation is not supported.

Enjoy the Parade...

I just installed Linux on my third gen. It's cool and everything works well, except for actually playing music. Whenever I got to 'music' it freezes and I have to reset.

Enjoy the Parade...
