# 2 Re: can you charge your ipod threw a PS2?
Is this just a curiosity question, or do you plan on doing it? I don't see any advantages really.Petary791 at 2007-11-15 13:42:58 >

The USB port is powered. Whenever I needed a quick charge up on my old PocketPC, I was able to use a mini-sync cable and charge it on a PS2 (the original kind, not sure if anything has changed with the new thin one). So, it probably would work if you had the 4G cord, worth a try although it's not all that useful.

# 10 Re: can you charge your ipod threw a PS2?
If it's a fully USB compliant port it should provide the standard 500ma of power so there is probably no technical reason why it wouldn't work.Now all somebody needs to do is get a XBox controller port -> USB adapter (they are available the Linux geeks use them) and try to charge their iPod through a XBox as well.

Remember, do not eat iPod Shuffle! haha, yeah...
it would be kind of funny if apple took a spin on that and partnered up with hershey's to create a "ipod shuffle chocolate bar." bet it would sell like hotcakes
anyways I just tried it, doesn't seem to work. then again my ps2 is pretty beat up :(

I was told that the ipod sucks about 12.7 to 13 volts of juice. A 6 pin firewire will do it, a 4 pin wont (obviously) and a usb1.0 wont but, you guessed it, a usb2.0 will.Im just relaying information here, please do correct me if im wrong.

Im just relaying information here, please do correct me if im wrong. My computer only has usb 1.1 and it charges my ipod. and it doesnt seem to be any slower then when i charge my ipod from a plugin.

# 25 Re: can you charge your ipod threw a PS2?
I think the PS2 is USB 1.0, so i dont think it will work (then again i think PS2 is crap anyways :p)surgevault420 at 2007-11-15 14:06:16 >
# 26 Re: can you charge your ipod threw a PS2?
With 1.0/1.1 it'll work with the iPod for a little while but eventually die. This happened to me. Simply get a USB 2.0 Hub. I use a Kensington. It has 4 ports and works awesome. I'll try it with the PS2 later and report back.Sadako at 2007-11-15 14:07:16 >
# 27 Re: can you charge your ipod threw a PS2?
I have an old tray loading Revision D (5 flavours) iMac, with USB1.0, and i can charge my iPod 4G off it without any problems.LCGuy at 2007-11-15 14:08:22 >
