Really? It just worked here... and I'm pretty sure I've opened it more than 100 times.
You were in plain LiveView when pressing the delete button, right?

Yes tested in plain LiveView. To be able to consistently get the ML menu to come up, I have to double press the trash button, about 500ms between presses. If I just press once, screen goes black for 1 second, then returns back to normal live view.

[BOOT_M50.FIR]

Congrats on the M50 dfort! Absolutely in love with mine.

Almost ready--uh, where's the ML-SETUP.FIR file? Available only by special request? Not sure where to start. Maybe with a firmware update to 1.0.2 for starters?

This is what I used for my testing: The 'Fishy' is only running on firmware 1.0.1 currently.

Please find the FIR file for enabling the boot flag on the EOS/PowerShot M50:
BOOT_M50.FIR (confirmed by 71m363nd3r; works on any Canon firmware version)
This will modify your camera.

Appears to be a proof of concept at the moment. When I tested it, pressing the trash can button to activate only opened into the ML menu once every 5-7 times. The menu itself does not have fully fledged out functionality just yet. I am sure it will get there, obviously there is a lot of hard work that needs to go into this still. Absolutely brilliant work so far IMO! =Þ

You can install it yourself - EOSHD already did, and I hope he's not the only one

Not the only one to try it... I love living on the bleeding edge!
We are all really looking forward to seeing where this beautiful work will end up... Thank you very much @a1ex for all your hard work so far!

Thank you for the status update a1ex!

Please let me know if there is anything that I can do to help expedite any of the steps.

Thank you again!

Hi all,

Just received my shiny new M50 and then rapidly proceeded to wonder how I can make it do what it 'should' be able to do.

I have read through this forum, and have not seen any definitive working versions of ML(Magic Lantern) for the M50. Can someone significantly more intelligent than myself in regards to firmware code injection, please advise current status of a functioning ML for the Canon M50 on the DIGIC 8?

Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help progress/assist with the project moving forward.

Thanks in advance!
