I assume you saw https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=17969.msg233693#msg233693 ?
Not sure if you are doing it incorrectly or it doesn't work on your model for some reason.

Also, It may eventually be ported to version 1.2.0.
(https://bitbucket.org/ccritix/magic-lantern-git/src/0dc9b73b37356575460576525de2ca2f8e3e0900/platform/1300D.120/?at=branches%2F1300D?)

Yeah, whenever a string is changed, MLT won't change anything. I've had some ideas
on how I could make it less frequent, but it's definitely an unavoidable issue. Honestly, having
a few untranslated strings here and there doesn't seem like it would be that bad.

Do you have any idea on how often a menu string is changed?

> Longer term it might be better to have this in the main code, not a module?
So that would require changing all of the menus? Sounds like a ton of work.

I assumed you copied the `mlt_es` file into the ML folder and renamed it as `es`?
Although If the menus were empty, then it's a bug, since it shouldn't do
anything if there is no file. Could you possibly send me a ROM dump for debugging?

A while ago I made a proof of concept patch for a Spanish translation of Magic Lantern.
Today I converted it to a module that should work on all versions of ML.

Here it is: https://github.com/petabyt/mlt

Of course, it's very unfinished and unpolished, but I think this could be useful.

Experiment for a "one click install": https://diode.zone/w/5BDpMTeBhgZ4mEVXu6QRQj
Plug in camera + SD card, and click a button to fully install Magic Lantern.

PTP is used to detect model/firmware version, and the correct Magic Lantern build
is unzipped into the SD card. The bootdisk flag and the card flags are written as well.

Also see the Github issue: https://github.com/petabyt/mlinstall/issues/2

This is just a proof-of-concept to see if it would work. It won't be released any time soon, if
it is released at all. Feedback/ideas for this are welcome.

Hi all, for some reason I never saw these messages.

Solution for the Windows libusb issue: https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=26162.msg236405#msg236405

I had mentioned using Zadig in an earlier release, but I thought the new codebase I
used (ptpcam) fixed this issue (I forgot I had libusb installed in my VM), and never gave it much thought after that.

Apparently I forgot that I had installed libusb in my Windows 7 testing VM, so
I wasn't aware of this issue.

A quick solution is to download Zadig (https://zadig.akeo.ie/) and replace WinUSB with
libusb-win32. Here's a GIF animation showing exactly what to do:
https://petabyt.github.io/mlinstall/MANUAL#no-ptpusb-device-found

If this doesn't work, please let me know.

I was able to reproduce it on Windows 10. Looking for a solution...

I've added a few more features to the app:
- Redo UI with a GTK "notebook"
- Add "Make card scriptable"
- Add "Make card un-scriptable"
- Add credits and license
- Add button hints
- Better error messages

https://github.com/petabyt/mlinstall/releases/tag/0.1.3

Yes, I think you can send integer arguments simply via the standard PTP arguments.

I've set up https://github.com/petabyt/sequoia-ptpy to work like this:
`camera.eos_run_command("EnableBootDisk", [1, 2, 3])`

I already found that the command 0x9052 becomes available after calling the command 0x9050 three times.

Have you tried calling 0x9052 after doing that?

Interesting, do you know why?

I guess not, assuming Canon didin't change the command ID or anything.

Not that I know of. I guess the safe way to check would be looking for the string "ExecuteEventProc" in a ram dump.

I think it should be pretty easy to get it to work. But the only Mac I have is an old iMac G4, which is probably too old.

The old python version (https://github.com/petabyt/mlinstall/tree/python-stable) should work on it.

MLinstall is a Windows/Linux utility that makes it easier to install Magic Lantern.

Old post:
I've been working on a utility that should help with installing Magic Lantern.
Source code: https://github.com/petabyt/mlinstall

It currently can:

- Run Canon event procedures:
Based on some research in https://github.com/petabyt/sequoia-ptpy, I've
gotten Canon's `0x9052` PTP command to work properly. This allows for
commands like "EnableBootDisk" and "DisableBootDisk" to be run via PTP.
I think this command is standard on almost all Canon cameras, so it
could possibly replace custom firmware files. (?)

- Card Tools:
I've also added a card flag enabler (bootdisk, canon basic), and an
option to disable them without reformatting card.
(just writes an underscore on the first character of each)

A few days ago, I figured out how to get it working 100% of the time. (I think, at least from my 100 or so stress tests)
(It wasn't a timing error or anything, all I did was append ~30 zeros to the string)

I've also made a portable Windows/Linux front-end: https://github.com/petabyt/mlinstall

Although beware, this command is undocumented and I have yet to see the code behind it. Try at your own risk.

Edit: See the https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=26162.msg236153 thread.

Yes, 1.1.0.

I'm working on getting Picture Transfer Protocol (USB) to enable the boot flag.
Here is a working demo: https://github.com/petabyt/sequoia-ptpy

It's highly unstable, and takes around 30 or so attempts in order to
get a OK response from the camera.

I've only been able to test it on the 1300D, but I think this
might work on all Canon DSLRs.

Source code: https://github.com/petabyt/mltetris
Download: https://github.com/petabyt/mltetris/releases/download/0.1.0/mltetris.mo

Of course, I was too lazy to actually write the game myself, so I ported somebody
else's code. (http://spritesmods.com/?art=zx3hack, GPL3)

I believe the same question was answered in the last page.
https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=17969.400

I had figured that out, but thanks. I had to press A.

I've been using arm gcc 5.4.1. I set CONFIG_QEMU, but nothing changed.
Recording just to be sure: http://petabyte.heb12.com/filedump/ml_foo.mp4

Also I was a bit confused on the building process. Do I run `make install_qemu`?
You previously said "make autoexec.bin" and then run it in QEMU.

Edit: I think I got it working right. I got the ML UI working.

I repulled and recompiled, still "Memory card containing firmware is required to update." when trying to load 1.1.0-ml-nightly. Is this as expected?
The minimal hello world seems to run though.
