I have a 1.01b firmware camera and would like to test the build for this. However, I'm not able to download a zip file; I am getting the file from http://ge.tt/6Q9yiln2 and it downloads as a full folder with subdirectories. When installed to the SD card, the camera will not recognize that anything is there.
LDBenjamin : thanks for moving the PM's we have been exchanging here so that everyone can share / help.
FWIW .. you tried installing the CHDK G16 1.01b files onto an SD card but could not get the firmware update method to work. As we discussed, there is no ps.fi2 in the G16 release so the firmware update method of booting CHDK will not work.
We talked about STICK and using unsupported builds ( http://www.zenoshrdlu.com/stick/stickx.html )
So I'm struggling with why you are having trouble downloading that zip file? It's my repository and should work. Downloads just fine for me.
I figured out the problem with the zip file. Safari automatically unzips any zip files as they download. This does not happen with Chrome. I was able to copy the zip file to Stick and rename it, however, Stick still does not recognize it so I cannot proceed to Step 1.
In Windows, there's no problem copying and renaming the zip file, and this time Stick recognizes it, but despite running Stick as an administrator, it is stopping at Step 3 and telling me it needs permission to analyze the SD card.
