ok I will get to work on this. I am bummed though because me 30gb was stolen but ill just do it with me 80gb classic (I guess that means no RockBox) Does anyone know why rockbox doesn't work with the classics? Is it a new boot loader apple set up so we could not use it? Thanks for your responses.

I believe the casings were the same size, the hdd were the same size in measurements but not in gigs.

Seriously consider making your own case out of plastic sheets and glue them together.

Also you will need an audio amp for the speakers, otherwise it will be too quiet.
I don't have very good ...

no audio amp needed. you would be surprised at what an ipod will drive. ( i hooked a nano [1G] straight to a 4" mid range speaker. worked fine. great sound quality. killed the battery pretty fast, but, it was REALLY loud.)
How did you wire this up. I will be using a lot smaller than 4" speakers so ...

Actually, the 30GB version only has a single platter HDD, so the case is then slimmer. The 60/80GB models ...

well i found them on e-bay (http://cgi.ebay.com/Black-IPOD-Video-80GB-Front-Back-Cover-Shell-Case_W0QQitemZ360243612212QQcmdZViewItemQQptZOther_MP3_Player_Accessories?hash=item53e0314a34" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) This should work shouldn't it its an 80gb video backplate so it ...

ok thanks I'll get started on this then. Why cant I just use an expended backplate there should be enough room the battery is only an extra 7mm and then the speakers would fit where the battery used to be thanks for your reply

I want to mod my old iPod Video. I want to buy a large backing for it, a larger battery (http://www.batteryspace.com/highpowerpolymerli-ioncell37v4700mah706285-8c1739wh37arate.aspx" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) and I want to rig it up with internal speakers but still have headphone ...

or somehow attach the buttons to the x axis for the analog stick where L2 and R2 are on the psp.

We shall never speak of that abomination...

Agreed

Ohh I did not know they made these thanks for pointing it out to me. This will help a lot in battery space... question do I want to take the board out of a psp batt and hook this one up to it instead? Thanks again!!

Non possible because of driver issues

why not just put in one 3.7v battery from battery space??
it would probably cost you less money than two psp batteries as well.

I love the idea though, might do it myself!!
I am going to use two psp 2200mAh batteries in parallel so instead of one battery at 3.6v 2200mAh it will be two batteries 3 ...

No joke it will be nice when I get it done I will still have the r2 + l2 so when I play my ps1 backups on it it will be just like playing a psone portable
Attaching a PlayStation controller to a PSP will not give the L2/R2 buttons functionality. That's not how it works.
I know the emulator that ...
