I might not have understood this correctly, but I downloaded a few games from the page suggested at the plugins wiki page
http://www.worldofspectrum.org/archive.html
but all I get is a percentage counter in the upper left corner counting up to something like 82% and after 20 minutes I give up. Are there certain games that are known to be working well with ZXBox, or is there something I have completely missed here in terms of how this is supposed to work, or of what I have to do to achieve this...?? I only wanted to try out one or another game in order to see what this was all about, it's no big deal.....
I have a H340, BTW...

You were probably trying tape formats (tzx, tap) which need several minutes to load the game from a virtual tape. I recommend you trying snapshots of the games instead (sna, z80 ...).
Here are some games which work in tzx format on my H120:
3D Deathchase
Chuckie Egg
Jet Set Willy
Jumping Jack
Manic Miner
Rebelstar

What's this? Will these work the iPod? Haha, sorry, but I have no clue.

Scratch that, I just got some MORE games on my iPod haha

where do you get snap shot instead of tape files?
-
... yeah, I'm sorry to jump in, but what's this stuff?
I'm always willing to increase my gaming library, but these seem different from ROMS...
Which of these do I download (file format, not a game, per se. If you would reccomend some good games, though, that'll be nice) and what do I do with 'em? (a link to the manual would be cool too)
EDIT- Sorry, I have a 30g Ipod
