I have never tested a nightly before and now after almost1,5 years of using the stable version, I decided to try one.I tried to load some modules but nothing happens! I tried to  find what I did wrong but from these I found I couldnt figure out anything (maybe searching at the wrong place!!!).My camera is a 550d.What are the modules that work on my camera?

A loaded module doesn't do anything but to add or enable some menu options which have to be configured.
Feature set for your cam: https://builds.magiclantern.fm/#/features

I know,but nothing seems to be changed in the menu...I click on them,they change to green,I restart my camera and still the same menus.

Load/unload raw_rec and take a look into the movie tab.
Load/unload file_man and take a look into the debug tab.
Load/unload autoexpo and take a look into the expo tab.
....

I recopied the autoexec and ml folder,reset the ML configuration file,I enabled all the modules but still nothing.I notieced that the green dot next to modules turns into pale green after restarting.Also,when I press "Q" on the module (with the pale green dot) it says "More info after you load this module"

Delete AUTOEXEC.BIN and ML directory. Expand nightly build files, copy AUTOEXEC.BIN and ML directory to card's root and try again.

It doesn t work.Maybe I ll download an older version tomorrow...

Walter Schulz

Won't hurt but I'd like to bet it wouldn't work either.

Well, I deleted everything from the card (even the pdfs!) and now seems to be working.Thanks for helping.

How the hell did you get PDFs on your card?

They were some help files in case I was away from home and needed to read them (using someone else's pc/laptop)
