Doom Install - 5gen Ipod Video
« on: December 31, 2007, 09:32:50 AM »
I tried searching through the forums, and I didn't see an answer, so I thought I would try posting. Basically, I installed rockbox (using the latest utility installer on a Mac) onto my 5gen Ipod Video. The installation worked fine (rockbox loads up correctly and I chose to load on rockdoom), however I cannot for the life of me figure out where to put the doom wad file. People (as well as the FAQ) say to put it into the .rockbox/games/doom directory...however when I connect the ipod to my computer, all I see are the ipod folders (calendar, etc.) --in disk mode. I tried creating a folder called "Games"...and a sub-folder called "Doom"...but the wad file won't load from there. I'm sure I'm being an idiot, but I really don't know what I'm doing wrong. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

EDIT #1:
Figured it out.

Since I was browsing files on my Mac, I couldn't see the hidden file folders (for whatever reason). I hooked the iPod up to a PC and bam...good to go. Does anyone know how to view the hidden files in OS X?

EDIT #2:
Figured out how to view hidden files on a Mac. The program TinkerTool allows you to toggle off/on hidden files in the Finder.

I have a sansa e280R and I didn't have the \games\ directory in mine so I created them and I put the wad files in there and I open rockdoom and it still says "the base wad is missing."
Can anyone help me?
Thanks,

Sorry, I'm not the smartest guy here. I want Doom on there and I went to the link that Yapper gave me and it says create new directory, whats it mean by that? New folder? Should be easy to answer.

Yes, Microsoft decided that the rest of the world's name of "directory" wasn't good enough, so they thought they'd call the same thing a "folder".
