Ipod as portable gamecube - KHRZ - 02-15-2010
So I have an ipod classic 80 GB, usually they don't show up outside of itunes, but there's apps out there that modifies it a little so you access it and insert files, (I noticed this when I tried the yamipod player). And voila, a 80 GB USB! You can keep Dolphin and your games in it, then plug it in anywhere and play, no lag or anything caused by the game being on the ipod. only problem is that it's FAT32, so wii games that can't be compressed to under 4GB can't be used. Now if you happened to visit a friend with a super computer, maybe he'd let you enjoy some Hyrule Field in fullspeed

Or you could use a regular external HDD?
They tend to be a lot cheaper than iPods of any kind.
Even my 8GB flash drive is good for New Super Mario Bros.

Yeah but if you already have an ipod, since most people won't need those 80 GBs for music. And they're much smaller than most HDD's.

Yeah, it's not like people are putting other things on iPods now, is it?
I'm come close to filling up my 60GB iPod with videos many a time now.

I'm pretty sure any iPod that uses a hard disk storage can be used as an external HDD.
So, that's the classic iPod line pretty much, but not the iPod touch line.
