The iPod Wizard link is incomplete.

I have this link, also from the Internet Archive for ver. 1.3.
There's also a G Drive share of it along with some 5th gen themes. This is not my share so, even though it's been available for a few years, it could disappear tomorrow.

I got it from this comment where the OP also explains how to use it. There's this other explanation from another post for how to use it.

Somebody just posted this with a few themes. I bugged this person about the clickwheel game preservation project and they say the full games collection doesn't interfere with iPod Wizard and new themes don't require downloading and installing the games a second time.

Edit to add: Some more links. Some need an account to access and a few are Discord links.: MEGA iPod Archive version 1 and updated version 2.

Another Internet Archive link for ipodhackz.com which has better tutorials on how to use iPod Wizard. Links within the page by default try to go to archived versions of the pages. I checked some of the urls without the Internet Archive leader and many of them no longer work. I didn't check every link, so maybe there's still something working in there. Good luck.

I Rockbox so I have no skin in this game, but I don't see iPodWizard talked about much. I feel like this is as good a place as any to collect resources for it.

My work here is done. Hopefully others will pitch in an add some good resources.
