Got a bit bored and figured out VNC stuff on my iPod touch 2nd gen. Was a bit of a fickle to set up as the power and volume buttons don't work, so I had to make a malformed restore IPSW just to force it into DFU mode, then restore a modified 4.2.1 IPSW that had jailbreak baked in to give me Cydia. Once it was on I could finally get VNC running.
Tried get root certificates working so Safari stops throwing a fit but I doubt it’s gonna work given how old this thing is.
It is laggy and so on but I’m not surprised as springboard kept crashing at first, nor it is very intuitive using the VNC server but it works ig
