Please note
- You can not use CardTricks to dump 'newer' DryOS cams; use the Canon Basic Script method (see
here)
- CardTricks can not partition cards; this means that it can only create a fully 'CHDK bootable' card
if the size is 4 GB or smaller.

Hi
Just a small Windows shell for some of my favourite and most-used tools: bootable.exe and universal dumper
all credits go to their developers, which I believe to be (in no particular order) ewavr, Jef666 and RyeBrye,
if others want to get their nicks and/or names on the list, just tell me ...
I have tried my best to make it safe (ie, it will only accept "Removable" and "Unknown" types of drives) and
avoid 'unnecessary' operations (ie only offer formatting when no FAT16 is present, and only make bootable
when it isn't yet etc)
That said, take care anyway, it IS a formatting tool !
All source code and helper files included, 1 single executable 7-zip self extractor ; get 7-zip (free) to check
source code before running it if you want. no registry entries (or reads, for that matter); stores a couple of
presets in an ini file in it's own directory.
Source code and helper files can be found in the CardTricks directory, generated by the
CardTricks-xxx-SFX.exe installer in the same directory the program is in.

Old versions - before 1.44 - got falsely flagged as malware - if this happens please update,
the distribution 'packaging' has been changed and tested, and no more false alarms (so far)
if you insist on older versions, or just like to see if 1.44 really scores 0 alarms on 35 scanners,
(instead of up to 5 / 35 for old versions) try an online scan
