Install made with FW 2.02, full Canon battery, settings cleared to defaults, camera set to Manual Stills mode. I used danne's crop_rec_4k_mlv_snd_raw_only_2020Jan18.EOSM202.

(Edited to add: The card is a 32GB Extreme Pro, straight from Amazon.)

Installer said everything worked.

Restarted and tried to launch ML menu in Manual Stills and Manual Video by -

- Tapping screen with two fingers

- Pressing delete button

- "In LiveView, toggle the INFO/DISP button until you see the Magic Lantern audio levels and footer bar" as per wiki (Which from my memory of using an EOS M with ML a couple of years doesn't actually work for the M???)

No response to any of the above.

The camera created a LOGS folder which has a ROM0.bin and ROM1.bin file on it. (Links removed.)

The camera hasn't complained at all but obviously I'm a tad alarmed. (Plus I want to get ML working!)

...The obvious thing to do is to try another attempt at installing, but obvious isn't always smart - plus I thought a dev might want some data from the install that would be lost. (Assuming that I haven't just failed to discover the correct way of launching the menu...)

I *think* - based on reading comments in Zeek's videos - that the current situation is that any monitor with 1080p should be reasonably expected to work?

And that the monitor will show ML's focus peaking and false color, etc?

More specifically, I'd like to write a set of notes for new shooters explaining the principles of shooting video, and I'd like to refer to Magic Lantern and especially the M, because it's so cheap, to do that. So it's a guide that would say "Hey, you want to shoot video, you need to get your exposure right. Here's how the spot meter and zebra will let you adjust your camera settings and NDs, here's how false color will let you relight the scene."

I'm very lazy, so as much as possible I'd try to rely on links to existing sources and just provide a structure for people to follow.

What I'm wondering is

1. Do the key people here think this is a good idea? If the guide was popular, it might cause an influx of people, a minority of who would asking irritating questions instead RTFM. These people can be a real drag for any community

2. Is anyone willing to proofread, make suggestions
