anyone have any ideas for patching the firmware to add 24p. im guessing randomly changing values of 20 to 24 will be pointless and be a quick way to brick the camera.

Is using a dissassembly of the firmware the best way forward on this?

Hi Guys,
First of all many thanks ! I jumped with joy to discover these developments for the small but powerful t1i !

Umm, sorry for being stupid.. but i have tried loading ML on my T1i 3 times now..
something is not happening correctly.

I'm trying to comprehend the installation guide.. but don't know what am I missing.. maybe the 550D part with 1.0.9 firware is confusing. I'm willing to pitch in and write a seperate wiki page for 500d ( installation guide that is !) once I figure it out..

What I tried was:
1) Formatted my SD
2) Put magiclantern.fir on it
3) made it bootable using EOScard ( checking EOS_DEVELOP and BOOTDISK and hitting Save. )
4) put all the files from the latest 1.0.8 build which I downloaded form a couple of posts above
5) Deleted magiclantern.fir 

6) Put the card in the body.. only to notice no change  :(

formatted it again and tried it without the magiclantern.fir

I'm not doing the 1.0.9 firmware step as we T1i owners have 1.1.0 firware and not sure if I have to reflash it with e magiclantern.fir file on the card in order to do stuff to VRAM  and then put the 1.0.8 files and then delete magiclantern.fir



Sorry for my ramble.
Please explain it in short. I will put it up in simple words and add it to the 500D wiki  :)

Many thanks and good lcuk for the rest of the porting !

hey alins, how far off do you think focus peeking is for the 500D?

i'm gonna start looking into this one.

i can't find the audio thresholds so i can fix the audio meters, may as well start fixing bug and porting new features like focus peeking.

just to be sure: have you used this installation instructions: http://magiclantern.wikia.com/wiki/500D#Installation_-_Only_For_Canon_Firmware_1.1.0 ?

first you have to make your card bootable, second copy the fir file on it (make sure you use the correct FIR file) and start the camera. You should see a message that the boot flags have been set. stop the camera, delete the fir file (you don't need this one anymore) and copy all the files from alpha08 build on the card. start the camera, wait a couple of seconds and press the trash button...you should see the ML menu.

post here if you managed to make it work or not

sorry, at the moment i have no idea how to approach this one. What i'm trying to say is that I have no clue if it's as simple as finding the right memory address and make a call with the right parameters to enable this or we need to write our own implementation.

if anybody on this thread knows what needs to be done (or at the least the general direction) please let me know. as always patches are welcome :)

hey alins, I really appreciated all you efforts porting ML to 500d... I tried your latest build and enjoyed most of the working feature... :) I wonder if you could add 24p for both 720p and 1080p resolution too. I hope 500d is capable of running 24fps in 1080p. what do you think?

I think the frame rate question has been brought up and covered already...

"covered" in the sense of how to do it - not yet.

I hope someone could find a way on how to add 24p in 500d. :) I think the most important features we need in 500d is manual controls over the video and 24fps.

Agree.

Manual controls are there more or less,currently they are crashing the camera so as far as I'm concerned at the moment there's a bug in the code that prevents this feature to be actually usable.

 24fps as I said before, right now i have no clue if it's even possible
