Yep, it appears they use an IDA. The instructions for new developers
are listed below.

The port of the hack to the G9 was languishing for months with one
intractable bottleneck after another until this one cracker-jack
dev in Stuttgart finally got a hold of a G9--he had it ported in 8
hours of work. The others fixed the bugs and ported it for the other
flavors of firmware over a few weeks. :-)

How does this work? Does someone have a disassembler? I can't imagine
doing this in machine code. Where do you get the instruction set for a
Canon processor? :-)

Back from the Peloponnese hopefully with a few reasonable images.
The reasonably stable releases for the CHDK hack are listed below:

The firmware for a few Oly digicams has been dumped, but none of
the serous experienced developers has really given it a full court
press AFAIK from checking in on the forum now and again. I like the G9
hack despite its included native RAW with the hyperfocal distance
calculator on half press, separate live 3 channel histo, zebra mode.
There are also very elegant intervalometer scrips already written for
it. (I alos can monitor the battery temp and sensor temp :-)--not sure
why I really need to know that though. The G10 firmware has been dumped
and undoubtedly will succomb to a developer this year. It appears that
less than 10% of the firmware requires in depth understanding to port
the hack. I would not bet against Moose being able to do it as well,
but I can't imagine it would be good use of his time.

Oh come on - I thort you could hack anything!

Yup, I've used it on an A710 and am using and loving it on an

available for the A80, though.
