Hello everybody...
You all know that the sx20 is not blessed with much internal memory... :'(
But the days of low memory on the sx20 are counted.
Link to experimental alternate memory allocationThanks to reyalp, philmoz, CHDKLover and all others who helped me to port this feature to the sx20.
I tested it really hard with Firmware 1.02b and CHDK-DE 626 and CHDK 1144 and... it works.
Werner_O tested the Firmware 1.02b and CHDK-DE 626.
Surly we have not test all and so this is no garanty that all works. But i think this is a good point to start with.
If you want to share happiness with me, ...
I've built two local Versions, both based on the CHDK 1144.
The first Version is built with OPT_EXMEM_TESTING. (sx20-xxxx-0.9.9-1144-full-TESTMOE.zip)
You see at the left lower edge of the display an (ok). Now test as much
internal features of the sx20 as you can (Videosequences, Continous Shooting, ...). If there is any conflict, the (ok) changes into four addresses. Please tell me these addresses.
If after all tests the (ok) is still there, the first test is passed and you can change to the next part.
The second Version is now built with all optinal features of CHDK. (sx20-xxxx-0.9.9-1144-REALMODE.zip)
After booting, the cam should show you a memory info of about 1,8 MB.
Now test as much
chdk features of the sx20 as you can (zebra, edges, history, games, scripts, ...)
If everything works properly, the second Test is passsed and an administrator can check this fantastic feature into CHDK.
Let's have fun.
EDIT: Sorry I had to rebuilt the REALMODE file. Please download it again.
