Default Dual Boot - Dual Identities

Hey, I was wondering if anyone would be kind enough to help.

I was wondering if I could dual boot my iPod using either the original Apple firmware... or any other modded firmware.
For instance, I'm using Classic to Video Hack 2.1 - FW 1.2.1. Can I use this firmware twice on the one iPod?
Say, on boot up of my iPod, it asks which one of two firmwares I want to run...

The reason being, I want my iPod to have two 'identities' - I want one firmware to look at a certain directory and the other firmware to look at another directory.

Example:
Classic Hack 1 - looks in directory "iPod:/iPod_Control1/Music"
and
Classic Hack 2 - looks in directory "iPod:/iPod_Control2/Music"

This means I can have one firmware looking at one library of music, and the other firmware looking at the other directory...


Is this at all possible???


(Or is Classic Hack/Rockbox combo the only answer?)

u can most definitely have two firmwares on the ipod and can boot into either through the iPl but looking into different directories is currently not possible but i think it could be achieved through a hack which i wouldnt be able to accomplish but it is currently not possible

you could have both classic hacks, but they would need a good deal of knowledge of strings. you'd have to find the string (in show all) in classic hack 1 that says ipod_control and change it ipod_control\Music1

and then do the same for classic 2, but with Music2 instead of 1.
