What firmware should i use? (aka find Download Links here)

[fe50]

Hello & welcome, nayabisoba !

im an sx1 user who is unfortunate enough to have the 2.01a version firmware. Is there a CHDK available for this?

No, not yet, maybe some day...

Or, alternately, is there a way to turn back my firmware to, say, 2.00h and then install the hack? Are there risks involved in this, if it is possible?

No, that's not possible.
The only way to change the camera's firmware is to do it with an official Canon fw update, but until now there's no Update for the 2.xx version published.

thanks, fe50!

It's been a while since I've been here.  Came back to check for new A650 IS stable build.

But I see that the stable build is still the same old allbest-a650-100d-50.zip.

Yet I also see that there are advancing beta's (a650-100d-0.9.8-835-full.zip).

Is there any point in time when the stable version will be updated with new code?

There is only the autobuilds at the moment. There may be a "stable" release in the future, but it will probably just be a result of arbitrarily declaring one of the current autobuilds to be stable.

The current trunk should generally be good enough for day to day use.

Why not just try the autobuilds ? I think you will find they are every bit as stable as your allbest,
especially for 'older' cams; newly ported cams are only added to the Autobuilds when they are
reasonably stable and feature-complete, and are usually tagged BETA until devs and users
agree that the tag can be removed.
Ever since the various CHDK branches were 'unified' no CHDK branches have been updated - and that's
more than 300 versions ago - because of the 'unification' almost all users use the same CHDK,
which increases feedback and chances of finding any bugs left.
Check the User Guide linked in my sig for an idea of what you can expect of recent CHDK feature-wise 

cheers,

PS too slow again

Whim - Where do I download the autobuild from?

[reyalp]

see http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/Downloads or http://mighty-hoernsche.de/

[jojo99]

see http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/Downloads or http://mighty-hoernsche.de/

OK, thanks.  FYI, I had to use the DE link.  The download and change log links don't do anything on the wiki link.

the DE link is the one to bookmark; the links on the wikia work fine for me (Firefox w/ NoScript fully blocking except
wikia.com) Note that Wikia enforces a 10 sec delay before redirecting to external sites, which might have caught you or
your browser by surprise; i get an almost unreadable warning bar that mentions the delay, then it loads fine (both
the Autobuild server and the changelog page)

direct link changelog: http://tools.assembla.com/chdk/log/?action=follow_copy&rev=836&stop_rev=&mode=follow_copy&verbose=on

HTH,

wim

Looking closer at the wikia page, I see that whomever designed it must be color blind because they are using maroon text on red background at the top of the page. 

Take a look at the attachment.

It probably shows up perfectly in the Hindernet Exploder

[zeno]

Roland

1. download my ACID program from here http://www.zenoshrdlu.com/acid/acid.html
2. take a picture with your A570
3. start ACID and drop the picture on it

ACID will find the right CHDK build for your camera and download it for you

How to download original firmware to PowerShot A570 IS?

I'm boldly going to guess: you don't.

CHDK doesn't modify the original firmware in any way, so there's no need for users to download the original firmware. AFAIK Canon has never made available a firmware upgrade to the a570is, therefore the only Canon firmware downloads out there for this camera are firmware dumps for CHDK development. There is no way to flash those into the camera and expect it to work afterwards, meaning they are only useful for CHDK developers, not users.
