Krazubu Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 A guy on this site found a way to get rid of the iPod games DRM, I didn't try it myself yet because I'm having some troubles writing the modded firmware. Try it and don't forget to post your results (here and also on the other forum). Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prawker Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 I've tried this and a few other methods on my 2nd gen nano, but they never showed up in the games menu =\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Bond Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 You could always back up your Apple firmware using one of the utlities on the IpodLinux Project's website. That's what I end up doing before fiddling with anything; easy to restore back to normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazubu Posted April 5, 2007 Author Share Posted April 5, 2007 I confirm it's working, I updated the firmware from windows with ipodwizard and copied the game files at the right place, also disable autosync for games in iTunes to prevent it from removing them. So far I have 3 games working and the rest should come quickly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takuro Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 Interesting, but I'm afraid to mess around with my iPod's firmware. I've done minor hex editing before, but his instructions might as well been in Chinese to me. I'll wait a little while and see what happens.

qw3rty Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 (edited) Here is a step by step guide to put the 4 cracked games onto your iPod on a Mac. This is all other peoples information, I just put it together, the only thing I figured out myself was the firmware update. I couldn't figure out how to update the firmware without restoring the iPod, I'm sure someone here will know how to do it. Proceed at your own risk. It worked great on my 5G iPod. -------- Go into iTunes, open your iPod, go to the games tab, and uncheck the "syncronize games" box. Then click apply. Download the cracked Games from: Do NOT link to illegal/copyrighted files. Rename the "Games_RO.exe" file to "Games_RO.7z", extract it with a program called "BetterZip" Download the cracked firmware (5G only, not 5.5G) from: Do NOT link to illegal/copyrighted files. To update the iPod with patched firmware: go to /Applications/Utilities/iPod Software Updater/ right click iPod Updater 2006-03-23 select "Show Package Contents" go to Contents/Resources/Updates delete "Firmware-13.6.1.1" unzip Firmware5GPatchedByBadBlox.zip move Firmware5GPatchedByBadBlox.bin to Contents/Resources/Updates and rename it to "Firmware-13.6.1.1" open iPod Updater 2006-03-23 and restore the iPod To view the hidden files on your iPod, open terminal and type: defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE then: killall Finder Copy the extracted Games_RO folder to the iPod_Control folder on the ipod. To hide the hidden files, type these commands in terminal: defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE killall Finder Thats it.
