I just bought the 790 at Costco. It has firmware version 1.00E. Will this port of chk work on that firmware?
I have a new 2 gb sd card that came with the camera, I have copied the files to it. It has the chk directory and on the root the diskboot.bin.
When trying to use the cardtrick 1.44 it will not format my card, but the card works in the camera. I am not sure how to make it bootable without using the cardtrick utility. I do not see an option in the menu to update my firmware. I tried using the PS.F12 file also. No luck.
I used chdk on my S3 camera a couple of years ago and did not have any problems.
Can anyone help, I really enjoyed using the program on the S3
PS.FI2 is only manual boot, DISKBOOT.BIN is auto.

DISKBOOT.BIN in the root directory. Now start up CHDK with the PS.FI2 method, put the camera into ALT mode (press the print button until "ALT" is displayed at the bottom) Press Menu go to Misc. stuff, select make card bootable, lock the card and your good
