When I was a teaching assistant for CIS 191 "Linux and Unix" (University of Pennsylvania, Spring 2012), I was asked to give a guest lecture, given my involvement and contributions to the iPodLinux project. And so I decided to give a special topic lecture titled, "Linux Everywhere: A look at Linux outsidethe world of desktops". Here it is: Presentation: PDF …

A user on the iPodLinux forums posted that they had started working on a Flash player port to the iPod. I was skeptical, and here’s why: ”Keripo” wrote:Here’s my two cents. Keep in mind that this is just my speculation/rambling/etc. so don’t take it to heart/seriously. I’ve looked into getting Flash playback on the iPod before in the past and …

Project ZeroSlackr is based around the ZeroSlackr Framework, a highly customized, user-friendly iPodLinux system/installation targeted at new users. The project maintains and integrates numerous applications and packs created by the iPL community. Installation of iPodLinux through ZeroSlackr will not require a reformat of your iPod (i.e. you will be able to keep all your music and files). The ZeroSlackr Framework …

After playing around with Loader2’s “ipod_beep”, I added a “boot tune” function to Loader 2 which plays back a .pzm file generated by the piezo maker module. The download below includes a modified loader.bin, a sample “boot.pzm” file (which Final Fantasy fans will recognize) and the patch file with the modifications (since Trac is down, as always). Use ipodpatcher to …

After doing source code diffs with Zaphod’s original gpSP port and zacaj’s later port, I did a full and proper re-port of the Exophase’s latest version of gpSP. My build uses iPod-specific code rewritten based on Zaphod’s changes and the iBoy source code and adds many features that can improve usage or offer emulation speed-ups. There are two versions: one …

This was an April Fools joke for April 1, 2008! Thanks for playing along! (For the curious, no Apple did not send any unexpected donations and no 2G/3G nanos and 6G classics have not and will not be hacked for a long time due to reasons outlined here, here and here.) After an unexpected, generous donation from Apple, a few …

bzip2: http://ipl.derpapst.org/wiki/Image:Bzip2-libbz2.a.tar.gz tar: http://ipl.derpapst.org/wiki/Image:Tar-libtar.a.tar.gz zip: http://ipl.derpapst.org/wiki/Image:Zip.tar.gz Uploads contain iPodLinux-usable binaries and libraries. Compiling instructions are in the descriptions. For more information, search Wikipedia. This should conclude the porting of archiving tools to iPodLinux. Ported list: unzip, unrar, zip, gzip, bzip2, tar (search the forums for the other ports or get them from the ZeroSlackr SVN) See: http://ipl.derpapst.org/wiki/Tar_for_iPod and http://ipl.derpapst.org/wiki/Gnutools ~Keripo …

When the iPod nano 2G was was released late 2006, the first thing we found out was that the firmware was encrypted. Past generations of iPod had unencrypted firmwares/bootloaders that we were able to more or less dump and reverse engineer and eventually understand enough to port iPodLinux to, but this time around, Apple wasn’t so nice. And so went …

http://ipl.derpapst.org/wiki/Image:Vmlinux-2.4.32-iBoy-patches-n-loop-mount-enabled.gz http://ipl.derpapst.org/wiki/Image:GetLoader2AutoExec.tar.gz These are the files used by ZeroSlackr but should work with any installation. The kernel will work for both partitioned and loop-mount installations (provided that a proper loader.cfg file is present) and is compatible with the latest iBoy. getLoader2AutoExec is a getLoader2Args replacement for the 2.4.32 kernel. For usage, see the file’s descriptions, http://ipl.derpapst.org/wiki/Experimental_Kernel, or the ZeroSlackr Framework’s …

Here's a nice custom theme I made based pretty much off Black Glass but with a slate colour and custom graphics. The background picture is a modified artwork I commissioned from TheNork a few years back in Kingdom of Loathing and the titlebar was generated by UserBar. I've also included the original Photoshop files as well as the original, un-index-reduced …
