    • I looked through and couldn't find a thread on this. I was wondering if anybody has an IPod Classic (I'm getting a 120 GB one today) and has played any of the pokemone games on it. I remember last year somebody in one of my classes was playing pokemon gold/silver/crystal on their IPod (it wasn't a nano or touch as far as I know). Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks

    • The answer is you DO need custom firmware on your iPod. There is currently no custom for the 6th gen, as Apple has encryted the data stored on the actual iPod. Hence why you always need to use iTunes to put music on.

    I know it was possible on the older iPods, but for the time being not on newer ones :(

    you need to get ipod linux on your ipod, along with that you need to download iboy and then put the rom on there, like the guy said before me, only on 1st and 2nd gen nanos and i think up to 5th gen on the video ones

    • For any of the newer ipods you'll need to "jailbreak" them. Which is an annoyingly long process, but for the use of gaming emulation, and playing alternative music files or movie files, it's a great thing. I'd go with the iPod Touch though, the emulation on those is alot better than on the Classic.

    (Proud owner of a jailbroken iPod touch with GBA and NES emulators)

    pokemon is easily played on the jailbroken Touch (after first seeing this thread, I tried it out, just the realtime clock is a bit out of place)
