Title: iGPSP on Rockbox for 6th and 7th Gen iPod
Post by: sunrize777 on November 21, 2021, 08:33:12 AM

Sorry if I'm dumb in this question:

Is it possible for iGPSP (a GBA emulator) to run on rockbox?
https://github.com/iPodLinux-Community/igpSP (https://github.com/iPodLinux-Community/igpSP)
An ipodlinux developer named Keripo was able to code and compile an effective GBA emulator for ipod (source code above) that runs on ZeroSlackr ( a ported and more user friendly version of iPod Linux ) My Problem however is that iPodLinux does not have a bootloader for the iPod 7th gen and 6th gen and cosequently neither does zeroslackr. However since i am not a professional c Coder i cannot compile a bootloader for iPod myself. and therefore asking if there is any experimental build of iGPSP on rockbox for iPod 6th and 7th gen. If it is possible i think that this would be a somewhat fun feature of rockbox in the future. (p.s. i am not pushing this subject, just bringing attention to it).

Thank you in advance, sunrize777

Should be possible but would be a lot of work.

Is there any existing build of iGPSP on Rockbox for 6/7th gen iPod? and if there is not, do you know of any experimental existing build of an iPodLinux bootlaoder for iPod 6th/7th gen?

Than You In Advance,

You can search but I have never heard of those things.
