ignacio....
i finally got it to work...after a fashion....
i have to use the cf card with the .bin file and the ver file in the camera all the time...the camera is booting off the card ( i made two 4g cards)...with the boot card in the camera, the camera will write a DCIM file to the card without having to format the "boot card"...so the camera will indeed cature and save images...
I was under the impression that once you loaded the "hack" file in the camera, it rewrote the camera system...apparently not...OR...i missed a step or something...I had to mark my cards so i don't stick one in my 40D by accident...
I do love the spot meter function, I could live without the ISO feature as I almost always shoot at ISO 400.
As you know, at ISO 400 the xti will make some incredibly clean images...
I have printed images up to 24"x36" with absolutely no break down in quality.
if someone else has any suggestions, or something I can do to permamently write the "hack" to the camera OS, I'd appreciate the info, and i'm sure a bunch of others would as well.....
