    The followup video is here! And it shows how the Windows Vista upgrade won't work: ua-cam.com/video/IXDaE136re4/v-deo.html
    TL;DR: MojoPac isn't a virtual machine software, but is more similar to an application like Sandboxie.

    Man. Mojopac. That takes me back.

I remember hoping they’d eventually update for Vista and beyond, but nope. At least I was in a good time frame to experience it lol

    The Windows folder has not been slimmed down by six orders of magnitude. The system files on the MojoPac install are simply empty standins that point to the real system files on the host computer. That's why you can only run it on a Windows XP box, as opposed to a true virtual machine which can at least in principle run on any host.

    The fact that this man did a dank pods parody and didn’t see the huge black spot on the iPod nano worries me

    As someone who owns an iPhone, I don't use iTunes on my laptop running Windows 10 to transfer music, ringtones or videos to it as it constantly fails with an unknown error, there are some alternatives out there, but the best alternative I found is DearMob iPhone Manager for Windows, and I use it all the time yo transfer media over to and from my iPhone 6S to my Laptop, the kicker is that it NEVER fails to transfer anything over, and it installs the iTunes drivers for Windows but are used by this program instead of iTunes itself.

    I think this video was actually by DankPods and then it was MichealMJD, I like both channels so this is just great

    I was hoping the xp OS would've been accessable from the ipod screen.

    The sheer size of the black spot on that nano made me flinch.

    Holy shit that intro was fantastic. I saw the video, thought about Dankpods and then had to take a step back
