Fallout 3: Pip-Boy 3000 Ipod touch Mod


Watch this on, Mobile device, YouTube

As you may have seen over the internet there have been a lot of people making mods of the pip boy 3000 from the “Survival Edition” of “Fallout 3″
Now we do not pursue cosplay tips and hints often but if we can help at some point we will. This one was a bit interesting so we decided to share.

Video Looping Instructions

As you may know if you have an Iphone/Itouch there is no option in the “video section” to continuously repeat videos so here a quick way around that.
1. Create a new playlist in itunes for Iphone/Itouch titled “Music Videos
2. Import the downloaded video there.
3. right click and press “get info” hit the “Options video” select “Music Video” in the “Media Kind” box and press ok.
4. This should put your videos in the videos section and in the music section under music videos, The only way to loop it is to play the video through your Music section under playlists. Push repeat at the top left while playing, and wallah, Done!

    You did an awesome job. Better fit than mine and your videos are the best.

    Well done!
    Otaku Joe

  2. Eyeofgod says:

    Man, that is freakin’ cool!
    I wished I had one, then I could cosplay as the lone wanderer!

  3. infostud says:

    You sir, are a god. I’m doing this for Halloween this year and, after finding Otaku Joe’s, have been hunting for a good tutorial. Yours is definitely the most complete of all I’ve seen, and the video is a perfect complement to the pictures I made of every single Pipboy information screen. (I plan on switching between radio and static images during the night like you do in the real pipboy.) Can’t wait to get back to work on mine now.

  4. Nitro9a says:

    Great job! Thanks for making this tutorial. I’m putting together a Pip-boy for myself for Halloween. A couple of questions… How do you access the home button (Or does the Ipod Touch even have a home button? I’m using my Iphone.) Also, what did you use to melt the wall?

    Thanks and thanks in advance for any help!

  5. Isaak Wells says:

    Thanks for the compliments on the tutorial everyone.

    To Nitro9a I access the home button by sticking my finder in behind the wall, it does not lay flat across the edge so I have space to do so. About the melting I actually had nothing equipment wise with me so i just did it the most primitive way by heating up the end of knives on a stove lol, but I would suggest using a Soldering iron. that would work wonders.

    Also update on the tutorial, download a simple flashlight app and change the color to greenish so it can be used as a flashlight.

  6. Nitro9a says:

    Knives on a stove, nice! You’re braver than I or at least I’m not sure I have enough skill to make that work as well as you did. I think I’ll go pick up a soldering iron. :) Thanks so much for getting back to me.

  7. Alistair says:

    I just completed this mod myself. The video is awesome, my only complaint is with Apple’s auto orientation feature which you will find forces the video to constantly switch from portrait to landscape mode as you walk around. It wont interrupt the playback, but its annoying in a nit picky way. :)

    My advice is to cut a little at a time, I ended up melting too much out and had to use 3M automotive grade double sided tape to keep the iphone in.

    Also, cut out the vents on the right side of the device for speaker holes, it works perfect.

    Fantastic. This rocks!

  9. Denice Confer says:

    Interesting article, I am now a subscriber!

  10. Lance Hullett says:

    Very helpful… I will return soon!

  11. Adolph Martinsen says:

    I’ll be back again, thanks for the info.

  12. Sophie Trippel says:

    thanks for the great post

    thanks for the great post

  14. Excellent post, I am a huge fan of your site, keep up the good work, and I’ll be a regular for a long time.

  15. Jake Thomas says:

    Hey! The stat loop is great and works perfectly! But the G.N.R one wont work right! I tried downloading several times and it gets downloaded but it comes out as an mp3 file but doesnt play in quick-time real player or wmp? Maybe you could take it down and repost it? Please? For me? Well if you do then thank you very much!

  16. Jake Thomas says:

    Exuse me sorry. It came out as a M4V file! It doesnt work!

    • Isaak Wells says:

      @Jake Thomas That is weird it works for most people? Tell you what, Let me know what format you would like it in and I will send it to you. I suggest registering with the site so I can private message you a link to download the format you want.

  17. Aeden M. says:

    It isn’t working for me either. M4V files for some reason don’t like to work on my computer. Could you possibly send me a file (or a link) in a different format?

    • Isaak Wells says:

      @Aeden M. Remember that I encoded this video to play on Ipod Touch & Iphone. I did not encode the video to play back on pc’s. However, Since it has come up so much I will add another download to the video in “Quicktime” (mp4) format

  18. Aeden M. says:

    Alas, whether you have made changes or not, it still shows up as an M4V file. The problem now seems to be an error in the file rendering me unable to extract it from the .zip. Sadly, re-downloading appears to have no effect. Maybe it’s a problem on my computer rather than a file type issue.

  19. Isaak Wells says:

    I just uploaded GNR in Quick Time format for anyone who wants it or for anyone who is having trouble with the current version.

  21. aznlunchboxx says:

    Quick Time vers. doesn’t seem compatible with my iPod. The zip file doesn’t work either. Is it possible to make it an mp4 file?

  22. CObalt crimson says:

    What model Ipod touch is best for this?

  23. Tyler Gilbeau says:

    Im actually having trouble with these downloads, Im not sure if this is what you did but an idea I had was to use a video capture card and capture the pipboy 3000 in action through the game

  24. Joe Dressker says:

    IW- Just to be certain, the ipod touch needs to be jailbroken for the the loop to dowload & play? And, is iPod(previous) version 3.1.2
    required?

    • Isaak Wells says:

      Your Ipod does not have to be jail broken, I play my video and my Ipod is not jail broken. I just drag the video onto a music playlist on Itunes and push get info, under that I classify the video as a Music Video. It will have loop ability after that.

  25. Dan says:

    Awesome job on the costume bud, I was planning on doing something similar. Was just wondering if you could walk me through how you attached the velcro straps to the pipboy?

    Much appreciated

  26. anthony says:

    hay I cant get the download thing for the GNR radio

  27. I’m really excited about this! Roll on October 19th!

  28. Nate says:

    ummm question how did you crop it to that size and do you mean you put in an after fx??
