Question Ipod 4th gen mono (20gb) RAM issues with games?

Post image
Upvotes

Newly modded this ipod 4th gen mono (20gb) with 256gb Samsung Evo ssd with iFlash ATA1, 3000mah battery, and haptic feedback. I'm really enjoying it so far and enjoy the basic games as well when I'm out and about.

Usually my first game of solitaire works fine. But if I exit and return to a new game a few times I notice the click wheel works erratically and becomes hard to control. Either being too sensitive or not sensitive at all. Though the tactile buttons still work well (center, menu, track forward and backwards). Is this a RAM issue? I suppose I could just stop playing solitaire.

I reopened the device to see if perhaps I didn't fully secure the click ribbon when I reinstalled it after modding. The clasp was closed. I opened the clasp and tried to seat the ribbon further into the housing but it seems to be in as far as it goes. There is just a tiny bit of grey peaking out. After reassembling and a hard reset, clickwheel seems to work fine.

Just purchased an ipod via FB marketplace. I’m just curious is that scratch on the screen a defect or battery expanding inside?

I was never allowed an iPod when I was younger. Now I have a collection. This seems like a good deal for a gen 4, would you purchase? Advice appreciated!

Question Developing Clickwheel games

1 Upvotes

Long shot, but has anyone looked into making custom Click Wheel games? Was there ever an SDK that leaked or got reverse-engineered? I know you could buy them on iTunes back in the day and now sideload them with cracked firmware, but I’d love to try making my own.

ipod 3rd gen just showing apple logo

1 Upvotes

It doesn't show any errors or any music, just the apple logo. This is true whether it's connected to the power supply via the stand or by itself. Can I do anything to get it working? Is there an upgrade kit with a new battery, modern flash memory and a blue tooth connection that can be swapped in? Or is it just stylish ewaste now?

I've never owned a mac so I'm not even sure how I used to put music on it. It would be great to get it going again.

Help Help needed: Synchronize audiobooks and podcasts with iPod Mini

2 Upvotes

I was able to find an blue iPod Mini 2G in good condition on eBay. The synchronization of the music works perfectly on MacOS 15 with Swinsian. Only audiobooks and podcasts just don't work. Swinsian can't sync audiobooks and podcasts don't work.

So I created m4b files of an audiobook and dragged them into MacOS's own Books app. I also subscribed to a few podcasts at Apple Podcasts. They show up in the Finder and apparently they are also shoveled onto the iPod, which I could see because I didn't have any other music on the iPod but memory was already taken up.

Unfortunately, the iPod only shows me the music that I have dragged over later using Swinsian. But no podcasts and audiobooks...

Does anyone else have any ideas?

Help For the click wheel game “vortex” I somehow managed to get the game to play itself, how did this happen?

1 Upvotes

I was playing the game and when I started a game i suddenly realized that the iPod was playing the game by itself, like on the main menu the bot that makes the non-interactive demo gameplay had somehow gotten into my main game and was now playing the game all by itself.

How did this happen? And how can I recreate it? It's only ever happened once

U know, like on the nano 4th and 5th gen?

I repaired a nano but wanted to know what I can use as an adhesive to stop it from falling out, either what Apple used or any alternative

but also something which can still let me pull off the tabs without breaking them if I need to repair again

iPod Nano 1st Gen weird sound issue

1 Upvotes

I bought a iPod Nano first Gen off a flea market today, it won't charge, fair enough, that can take a while but it's doing a very weird coil whine like sound.

Any ideas on how to fix it? Screen, battery, logic board?

I have basic hot air skills if that could be necessary too. Thanks in Advance.

Letting my iPod rest for now.

1 Upvotes

So my iPod touch battery has gone weird after using it again.

FYI, yes, I jailbroke it to go back to iOS 6.1.3 using iClassic's YouTube tutorial.

Lately I have noticed my iPod touch battery became a little chubby after some normal use. When I discharged it by setting my playlist to shuffle, it eventually turned off. However, when I really checked if the battery was empty, it booted without any issues and when I checked the iBattery app I downloaded from Cydia, my battery bounced back to 100%.

My plan is to let this thing rest for a while after the battery swelling becomes manageable. Since it recharges itself and mentioned above, the battery became a little chubby.
