This project is discontinued! There is no need to ask whether bugs can be fixed or features can be added, until I continue the project - IF I ever will, that is.

I know about the consequences, but you can still remind me, if you need to.

I've been building an iPod-look-a-like music player for the DS. I have implemented the ClickWheel(TM) completely, and now I'll be working on the menu, and then I'll add playback of the MP3 and OGG formats.

I know that Apple won't like this. I'm thinking of making the player -skinnable- and use a different default skin. Also, I could release it with a message like: "If you like this software, buy an iPod! We LOVE APPLE!"

Download Page (wip-build, showcases the ClickWheel implementation)
It still runs on emulators right now, but will not later.
- Use touchscreen to control the ClickWheel.
- Press X to reset to bootmenu.

Enjoy, you almost have an iPod ;)
- Lick

I like the idea... :) There needs to be a better music program for the ds... I like the idea of the ipod wheel... it'd be cool if you could (eventually down the road) add support for streaming music off the net. DSOrganize does a pretty good job, but you can only do it if the bitrate is like 64 or lower...

You do some amazing work! :D

Cool app! The scroll wheel works fine but the buttons are really hard to press. I need to press a few times to get it to register. Just be careful, we don't want you getting sued or something.

There were apps like this, but competition/cooperation can be good: iMenu, DS POD.

Well, as long as you do not advertise this on large sites, then I don't think you'll get the unwanted attention. Oh, and just a suggestion. I think it would be nice if you made the interface like Brain Age's: you hold the DS like a book.

Just tested out the interface on my DS-X, and I have to saw it looks great and is very stable.

Hope the big boys don't come after you.

Being skinnable would be awesome though

The problem with the Apple iPod is that is DRM. Many people will go into the Apple store and tell people which products are defective by design.

The one on Nintendo DS, if isn't DRM, then it is probably better in some ways.

The question we really need to ask ourselves here is:

Can Apple patent/trademark The Wheel?

Anyone taking any bets?

Please discuss further, while I post a new build.

- Added mainscreen and clickwheel-scrollable items.
- Nothing else.
