Ipod Storage Theory ~I'm working on~
« on: April 25, 2008, 04:03:25 PM »
Got a theory but it requires someone to write a program for me.

~Theory
         I do realize that the memory capacity is 32GB but i was wonder (because i have a 30GB ipod HD) if you use the datel 4GB mod but instead on the 4GB HD replace it with the 30GB. But for poor people like me what if you rewire the 32MB memory stick to the HD and do the datel 4GB mod but with your own home made connecter. 2 problems for me though is that 1. i dont know the specs for either the memory card nor the 30GB and 2. the HD would have to be formated so that it could have a mask on it appearing to be a 4GB.

~Theory 2
       After looking at PVP version of the mod i started to wonder if he just hacked the ipod change the configuration and rewired the USB cable to the HD tho work as an independent HD like any other external HD but the only difference was that the HD was rewired into the power source (or got the power from the USB port to run it) my only concern  is that how was the HD formated and how was the USB cable wired?????

~by the time you read this there will be 2 posted up~

will not work datell hdd has a cap on it that wont let it go above 4 gb. what so you mean homeade conecter the datell hdd comes with a conecter to ur ms slot and although you can use a cf drive like the one in a datell hdd as a (ide i belive) hdd you can not replace a cf drive with a hdd unleess you completely redesigned the datell hdd hardware.

and theroy 2 i dont understand what do you mean "wonder if he just hacked the ipod change the configuration and rewired the USB cable to the HD" do u mean hack the ipod and wire the ipod usb cable to psp usb?

more detail please?

Theory 2
 when i meant he hacked the ipod i meant that he turned the ipod hard drive into a usb host reconnected it to a pcb and than to then to the usb cable. this allowed to run usbhost on irshell but the only problem PVP mention was that it cant save games yet

deff not what he did he either has ipod linux running on ipod and use ipod to interface the hdd to psp i can tell you for a fact that he didnt turn a bare ipod harddrive into a host its just not posible then what do u need pcb for if the ipod hdd is a host if it was you just conect to usb witch ist happening you cant wire a hdd with like 30 pins to a usb with 5 and expect it to work with nothing inbetween pretty much conecting a hdd to datell and running trough ms slot is inposible and thats where the 32 gb limit is on flash memory going trough usb there is potentialy limitless storage capacity noitce i said potentialy

you never know till you try so my lasted project will be to find out how to link a HDD to a usb cable either using a pcb or just straight through trial and error  :tup: and man will there be lots of errors cuz i still don't have a  :censored: ing programer for my team

Ok, you guys, i think i can have a working prototype if someone tells me how to make money. I was talking to people at Vinculum who are like masters at USB Host controllers, and i could have a prototype running in no time, or someone could sponsor me...

yeah, i agree wih folk. show us a POC. not trying to be rude or nothin, just if you really have it working, there shouldnt be any problem in showing s a POC.(proof of concept=video of it working)



can i say im pretty sure the max capicitiy on a psp is 16 gb i think

I thought that is just through memstick. Im not sure, but wouldnt it be more like a devhook thing if we are doing it through usb?

I got it semi work and i kno im not a master a this but it id possible and i have people help me ( i work with computer my whole life so some of this stuff isn't that new just since i started messing with my psp i wanted to learn more and thas what i be en doing) so far im in a trial error stage (waiting for case to come it) with my computer. yes i know its complete different but i managed to use irshell to read my hard drive ( so far so good) only problem i try to play a program and i get an error and the psp shuts off on me. Yes i know i'm a noob and all but cut me some slake I'm trying here. You make people just quit on what they are working on and give up on life. So I'm going to take that negative feed back and turn it into a positive because in this world we live in anything is possible becase it all started wit an idea.

im workin on his the inly prob is when you take the ipod apart and if it has linux linux has a triger where to start it you need to put it in not hold then push hold on then ofcouse off im trying to find the code that says to the HD to start with inux automaticly but still no avail this is one prob second is power i was able to get it to work with the power board but its not very small to place in the umd compartment next it would seem easyer to het the usb cable then buy a gender bender and use another 5pin mini to connect and just have the ipod itself running linux connect. the next issue is saving now this 1 is easy need to find how irshell saves and change the path to save to the memstick. no you cant mask a capasity so thats what u do linux-ipod usb cable-genderbender-5pin mini-psp works great no need to waste psp battery TRYING to power ipod hd try it make it work with the 2 cables you can cumtrobly carry the ipod in ur pocket and play  if you cant get it to work email me and ill give you more instructions and maby tut on how to set it all up later  kkthnxbye

NO need in this topic any more, PVP is here again

guys don't harass pvp about the mass storage mod, that's one of the main reasons why he left. and we don't want him to leave again.
