  1. <illwieckz> they have a tool to patch some nikon firmware to unlock some stuff (like enabling lossless raw, removing video timelimit) or to disable some behavior (denoising)
  2. <illwieckz> badly this tool only run on silverlight in a browser (but the ESR version of firefox in wine, with silverlight, does the trick)
  3. <illwieckz> unlike magic lantern, they can't load complete software from memory card, so the tool flips some bits in firmware, then you make a firmware update with the modified firmware
  4. ----8<-----------------------------------------------------------------
  5. <LebedevRI> does that result in the menu "compression" just appearing, like on d7000?
  6. <paperdigits[m]> illwieckz: thanks for the link
  7. <illwieckz> LebedevRI, no, you have to patch your firmware for every change
  8. <illwieckz> so I made a firmware collection, one original, one with lossless enabled, one with compression disabled
  9. <illwieckz> they started to make some menu hacks with the "true-dark-current" one
  10. <illwieckz> but they are just reusing another menu
  11. <illwieckz> for the "true-dark-current" hack, they take over the colorspace menu from "sRGB/AdobeRGB" to be a "Normal/TrueDark" raw
  12. <illwieckz> unlike Magic Lantern, that's very basic
  13. <illwieckz> they can't modify the GUI
  14. <illwieckz> for the video bitrate hack, usually they set the higher bitrate as HQ profile, and the former HQ profile as MQ
  15. <illwieckz> not more
  16. <illwieckz> so, yes, to do that D5100 sample collection, I reflashed my D5100 seven time
  17. <illwieckz> Usually no one needs to reflash it so many time, for example I previously reflashed mine three years ago with lossless raw enabled and video timelimit disabled, and never had the need to change it (unless to do some comparative samples today)
