I understand this project brings existing iPod games to modern systems. Since you work with the original game format, I am hoping you can point me to documentation for a related question; I am not asking you to implement a port.
I am investigating a personal-use game project for my own iPod Classic, retaining Apple firmware 2.0.5 PC and its existing music library. Read-only device identification reports updater family 38 and GamesPlatformID 3/version 1.
The portable Game Boy runtime and normalized click-wheel mapping work in host tests and cross-compile for ARM. The missing piece is a demonstrated way to launch an original application inside Apple OS, draw a screen, receive real wheel/button events and exit back to the Apple menus.
Is there a public original-app example, documented developer workflow, or supported programmable game extension for this target? I am looking for reproducible source and the exact model/firmware tested. Existing commercial-game synchronization and recompilation for modern computers address different parts of the problem.
The project excludes replacement operating systems, dual boot, persistent firmware changes and erasing/restoring the device. I am not requesting proprietary signing keys, leaked SDKs, account credentials or anyone else's firmware/game binaries. Pointers to legitimate documentation or an existing compatible demonstration would help establish whether a concrete next test is available.
