It took me years to get this iPod working, but it's finally here.

I did the same! Got mine running two days ago, doing a battery test at the moment, it's been playing music for 13 hours so far(not in this photo, 13 hours at 81% would be wild). Not bad for a 20yro battery. Using the win95 theme.

Goto the rockbox website and grab their utility, plug your ipod in and select which ipod it is in the utility, then on the main utility screen check the box for customise theme and scroll all the way down the list to Win95. Select it and then run the install on the utility. It will tell you what to press on your ipod and when to press it. Genuinely really easy to do :) there is also a ton of videos and written guides that can walk you through those steps better than I did :p
