Porting ML to XSi (450D)

From 5D Classic thread:

Thanks Ant123. At last it worked for me. I got the solid blue light when i updated the firmware with ML-SETUP.FIR. Then i've deleted the .fir file from SDcard and then put it back. Now the ML menu appears when i press Delete key. Now its time to figure it out how it works, and it'll take time. For now intervalometer works fine. Thank you guys.

There is only one way which works at the moment.
Recording MJPEG video on SD-card is not ready yet. I'm not sure that this will be completed ...

Hello I am new at magic lantern. I'm interested in features for astrophotography. I own the good old EOS 450D.
It is possible to take dark frames without wearing the shutter mechanism with long time exposure. More than 15 sec ?
I have seen the silent mode feature but there is only a max exposure of 15sec possible.
Could this function also be included in the PTP so that the dark frame can be triggered remote via usb?
If possible, my sequence should look like this and be triggerable via PTP:
Dark frame, light frame ( normal picture ), dark frame, light frame, ....
exposure time is greater than 1 minute.

For a better understanding:
I would like to activate the Canon Long Exposure Noise Reduction but do not use it in the EOS but instead save the created dark frame to the SD. So I always get a light frame and a dark frame on SD. Is that possible?

Hello to everyone!
First of all, sorry if my english is bad.. I'm spanish and I don't practice it so much..
I own a 450D and I'm interested in ML, but I have read the post and I have some doubts:
1- wich is the last file to download and install?
2- ML only is installed on SD card, or it modifies the firm?
3- Nowadays it works without bugs?

Thanks!

Hi!

1 - I don't know.  But hopefully my answering will push this to the top and someone will notice and have an answer.
2 - ML runs from the card and is not permanently installed into firmware.  The installer does make a small change to firmware, this enables booting from cards.
3 - Magiclantern will never be bug free, it is software.  It works very reliably on some cameras, worse on others.  I don't know how good it is on 450D.

There are no significant canges since reply#23
Runing ML GUI doesn't mean ML functionality.
So I think this topic should be removed from "Sticky Topics".
