Custom firmware makes almost anything possible on an iPod
WTF?
A Reddit postshowingsomeone playing Skyrim with two iPods connected to a Steam Deck recently went viral.
Despite the method’s absurdity and the age of the hardware involved, the modding process is surprisingly straightforward.
One added function allows a PC to interpret an iPod as an input method of the user’s choosing.
So, he connected a second iPod to gain control over a total of 10 keys.
This was enough to remap Skyrim’s bindings without the keyboard and enjoy basic movement and attack functions.
The Steam Deck’s dual haptic pads are particularly useful for games designed around a mouse.
The firmware nekomichi installed on the iPods is calledRockbox.
