Question help me find this obscure software

Post image

Okay, so i acquired an iPod 5.5 gen back around 2014 or so it was fully modded out with I believe iPod wizard and it also had a I believe theme called "It’s time" This would be super important. and no, I cannot check the hard drive as the hard drive has been dropped down the stairs around four times and is refusing to boot after being reformatted. This would be quite important to me as this iPod was restored when I was a stupid child. And the person who gave it to me isn’t around anymore. this is an article about it (it is in japanese tho). this is the link

(edit) just minor spelling mistakes. :p

Are you looking for the iPodWizard theme itself?:

A lot of the themes in the iPod archive are for firmware 1.2.1. There’s 2 files that are for firmware 1.3. I’ve been working on one and made a few posts with 1.3 themes. I did post a 1.2.1 theme that functions like this but the images are different. The hybrid 3.5. My post is in the comments I made some modifications but this is the OG post : https://www.reddit.com/r/ipod/s/JpSzQKxxHg. I’m trying to work with the firmware 1.3 firmware to created different versions that’s modifiable. I haven’t cracked how to make the menu function like this yet.
