Files scanned and it's safe.

I will note that I'm getting a runtime error when using this.  However, I do see the files in the folder.

Any update on this?

General Help Q&A / Re: Making backup ML cards

Just to clarify, I do have ML working on all of my cards now by doing the bootflag process on my camera.

By bootflagging the camera with the new card, is it overwriting ML information on the camera....or is it hardcoded on the compact flash card?

My biggest concern is that I don't want it to contain multiple coded information of ML in my camera. 

I just want to make sure by having two compact flash cards used for bootflagging the camera that it won't store multiple data which might corrupt the camera.

So when doing the bootflag process, is it writing a specific information into the card so that it will read ML? 

Because I don't see how having two cards with the same file content will result in one booting ML and the other card not booting into ML.

Thanks everyone.  I went ahead and just ignored the EOScard program and just did it through my camera and it works now  :D 

I'm confused on how ML actually works.  I know the camera runs ML from the memory card with the files in it, but does that mean when the card is removed and another clean card is inserted, the camera is running stock with no sign of ML right?

I read up that if you want to go back to stock, you shouldn't just delete ML off your card.  It's best to exit out of it from going to the menu and doing the upgrade process and converting it back to stock.  If that is so, should I put my old card in and convert it back to stock?  This is why I'm confused, if the camera was already booting up in ML and I put a new card with the same files, why did it run stock and not boot up ML? 

Also, would the settings be saved as well in the ML menu or return to stock?

Do I have to exit out of magic lantern with the old card or can I just swap the cards and format the new card?

Also, if I were to add the new build on my new card and left the old build in my old card will that cause complications?

I am having a lot of trouble making this work.

Could you tell me what am I doing wrong?

1) Put card in computer and copy the 3 files (ML Folder, 7D_203.fir and autoexec.bin) onto the card.

2) Run the Eoscard program.

3) Refresh and once the card is found,  check the boxes (EOS_DEVELOP and BOOTDISK) or click the two big icons at the bottome (CHDK raw and ML LOGO) and click save.

4)Remove card and place in camera....... doesn't boot magic lantern...

and I missing a step or something?  Do I have to exit out magic lantern from the old card?

Also, I realize that there are a lot of newer builds available.  I have the magiclantern-Nightly.2014Oct08.7D203.  Should I upgrade to the latest, and if so do I just copy the three files in the folder and replace it with the old existing ones?  But before doing that, I want to be able to get my other card working with ML.

I see, (Installing Magic Lantern on other cards) thank you so much!  I have a feeling I'm not the first person to have asked this.  Sorry for the repetitiveness if so.

When I install the firmware skip (EOScard) do I just put the card in and select the two icon options at the bottom CHDK and ML icons and then click Save?  If so, I tried it and it didn't work.

Hi guys, I have a few cards that I want to have ML installed and ready for my camera.  However, it's not working as easy as I thought it would.  I went ahead and dropped the three files (ML Folder, 7D_203.fir and autoexec.bin) and no luck.  This is the nightly build for the 7d and the only one running at the moment is the original card I started with ML.  The other card, however, will not work even though it has the same file contents. 

Am I missing something when I transfer over?  I notice that on my normal card with ML has lots of .LOG files (Assert00.log, Crash00.log, Logo000.log) files, are these needed as well?

Thanks!

Hello everyone, I am glad to be a part of this community.  I have a question that I was hoping someone could help me out.

I have a very old build on my Canon 7d of 1.2.2 and decided to give Magic Lantern a try.  However, I heard a good number of people say 2.0.3 is the ideal firmware for Magic Lantern. 

Is this statement true?

Also, if I upgrade, is it possible to do a direct update from 1.2.2 to 2.0.3? or will I have to take steps downloading other firmwares to finally get to 2.0.3?

Is this where I should get the 2.0.3 firmware?

Any information will be deeply appreciate.

Thank you!
