Been away from this for a while and just downloaded the newest nightly. Which Canon firmware version needs to be installed for the 5D3?

I could have sworn there was a 1/47 ss option earlier today but it is now jumping from 1/42 (red) to 1/60 (blue) with nothing in between. I've been going through my settings to see if I could reverse/replicate this but I'm striking out at the moment.

How much money are you guys away from getting the decompiling software?

I'm looking to buy a Canon DSLR (because of Magic Lantern  ) and I'm looking at 60D and 7D. Can someone give me rough estimation for a version on 7D (not 100% of the features, more like 70%, HDR is more important for me... ). So 3-6 months or more than an year? This will greatly help me in my decision, thanks!

Once they get the decompiling software they need development will really speed up. Unfortunately it's really expensive so it's up to us to raise the money for it. I think they're fairly close to their goal and I plan on contributing a large sum pretty soon but it'd be cool if everyone that downloads ML could throw these guys a little support. I "imagine" they'd be able to get 70% working well before a year but that also depends on how quickly this software comes through for them too. The software will also aid in the development of all the other bodies as well AFAIK.

I'm coming into some money at the beginning of next month. I assume 500eur is about $800 american? I can probably swing something very close to that in a matter of weeks. Keep the donations coming in though people. I'm not coming into that much money  I really want to do something for the devs to make their lives easier though. The time they are spending on this could be time well spent elsewhere instead.

THIS THREAD IS ONLY 11 PAGES LONG. PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE THING BEFORE POSTING A QUESTION AS IT MOST LIKELY HAS ALREADY BEEN ANSWERED SEVERAL TIMES. MANY TIMES THE ANSWER HAS BEEN ON THE SAME PAGE AS THE DUPLICATE QUESTION JUST A POST OR TWO UP!

Maybe a mod can put something at the top of the op instructing people to read the thread first before asking for help? This would only be about six or so pages long if it weren't for all the redundant questions.

-End rant


How far away are you guys from acquiring IDA Pro? I'm halfway tempted to just to give you guys the difference if it's not too much.

Testimony about the decompiling software in question and why donations are so important to not only the ML team but us as well.

"The application took me about 250 hours of labor to figure out the function. With IDA and Hex-Rays I was able to solve the same problem in about 3 hours."

sorry for abit ahead, but when will alpha 2 release? i know alpha 1 just release last week and....as far as i tested myself, i don't have nay problems whatsoever, from software to hardware, so i really exciting for the next release and test out more features , i know i shouldnt ask this question right now but, u know ^^

General forum etiquette is not to ask for ETA's. Not ragging on you but more just putting it out there for anyone else that is thinking about asking.

Do you think creating another donation thermometer would help get the funds together faster to go towards the decompiling software you guys need? I think a lot of people here see donating as more as a gesture rather than something that is actually going to speed up development for our cameras. Once these guys get the software they need it will make it much easier to get all the features working and development should really speed up. Unfortunately it's very expensive and they should not have to foot any of the costs that go towards this since they are doing all the legwork. I have some money coming in at the beginning of next month and will be making another donation to you guys. Thanks again for all the great work.

No, in 1080p the display is already at the highest resolution, there's no extra detail that magic zoom could bring out.

On digic 4 cameras, there's not even enough CPU power to show a tiny box at that resolution without issues.

Would there be any way to downscale the output resolution to make it possible? I just got it to work on my monitor by forcing it to display 480p but the resolution is pretty bad in the magic window but it's still on the verge of being useful.

You have to reflash it every time the camera turns off.

So is Magic Zoom on a 1080 monitor available for other camera bodies? I'd love to see it on the 7d.

I was blown away by this software. Magic Lanterned just breathed new life into my aging 7d.  Everything is working great.  Thank you for everything.

Just wait til everything gets implemented.. Once they can afford to buy the decompiling software development will really speed up too. Here's a little perspective on what your donations go towards:

The supporter release was a big success (I've got a 5D3 in no time, also got a EOS M for Coutts, a 650D, a 500D, and we'll also get a 6D and some IDA licenses for core developers). Before, I've got a 60D in around 1.5 months, and then a 5D2 in a similar timespan - remember the thermometer on the old wiki.

So, for now, all short-term goals were funded and there's no more need to hide the download links (which, sadly, works a lot better than relying on user honesty). Of course, donations are still welcome and will be put to good use - we don't buy sports cars from them. Hopefully we'll organize some developer conferences too

I knew it from a previous experience with ML. It's not listed. No prob.

Help. I've followed the directions 3 times for the MAC version and it doesn't work for me. Camera will do the red blinking despite the download from the recommended links. The old menu style is still there, and it says on the firmware version it is installed, but nothing shows up. After I shut down, it returns to saying firmware 2.0.3 is installed. Any help?

Have you tried pressing the Trash button to bring up the ML window? Also, you have to reupdate to ML every time you shutdown your camera.

Glad I didn't support just yet ( I plan on supporting a high amount). No introvolometer? No HDR bracketing? You'll have to earn my money with a completed product. This .fir was sooo watered down. Even for an Alpha. Might as well have just been 2.0.3.

Go screw yourself. No one else should bother replying to this idiot to avoid cluttering the thread.

Will Magic Zoom ever work on a 1080 external monitor?

ok, so ive played around for a bit, turned camera off, back on and the firmware has gone, is that a bug or something ive done/not done, first play with ML firmware so my apologies if I just suck

All you have to do is run the update again (the .fir file is still present). It stays on the memory card so it's just a couple seconds out of your shoot if you lose it.
