Hello,

I've been tracking the development of ML and TL for some time now, but I'm not sure if I've figured out one major thing, so please correct me if I'm wrong:

If I'm willing to use the bleeding-edge development versions of ML or TL for 7D (including dual-iso module), I need "booton" trick in order for 7D to run "autoexec.bin" instead of xxx.fir files?
I'm asking because I'd like to stay on the safe side and flash xxx.fir files only when I need ML (so far I rarely use ML features, and I don't need it to boot automatically) and stay away from setting bootflag on my camera. However, latest nightly versions downloaded from ML website don't have xxx.fir files, and TL nightlies result in "Old API" when trying to run modules.

Any tips? Or should I just try flashing a fir file with autoboot enabled?

I've installed it as pointed out here.

It works.

Also, I'd like to say few things:

  • It's magic indeed
  • Dual ISO is magic x2
  • ML crew should be funded by Canon, even unofficially
  • I'm more excited than I was when I purchased 7D
