IXUS160/ELPH160 Porting attempt

Sent.

On the future of this port:
I've shared builds with over a dozen people, and heard virtually nothing back from anyone. Presumably that means it's working, or at least that no one else has bricked there camera.

I don't see any practical way to put a visible warning on the build, but at some point it's probably time to say enough is enough and enable it in the auto-build.

Thoughts?

There is still an possible issue with the zebra that needs to be investigated:

Another choice might be to just attach a stable build to a post here with a suitable warning as part of the post. When the stable version is bumped for a major bug fix, someone just needs to remember to update here. Not a great solution but it saves you (& others) from having to constantly respond to requests?

Something like :
WARNING : the CHDK port for the ixus160/elph160 posted here is believed to be stable but one camera was "bricked" during the completion of this port. As with any CHDK port, use with caution as there are no guarantees.

Same here.

I agree.

I believe that no framebuffers (= those we're using) have a height over 240 pixels, so the 480 in the source is not correct. (but that's probably not all)

The firmware update boot can be useful sometimes (I usually use that to make a card bootable). Due to our unwritten rules, we don't publish those files here.
