-== Before you begin ==
-
-_In order to install `400plus` you are definitively going to *need* a CF
card reader; it is simply *not possible* to install `400plus` through a USB
cord attached to your camera._
-
-== Preparing the camera ==
-
-The following steps prepare your camera to execute `400plus` each time it
start up; this procedure must be done only once:
-
- #. Use a fully charged battery. You need CF card reader and Windows,
Linux or Mac. On a mac you can use the native method or, use Windows under
Bootcamp/VMware Fusion or use the Linux method.
- #. Update to
[http://web.canon.jp/imaging/eosdigital3/e4kr3_firmware-e.html latest
firmware (1.1.1)] by copying it into the root of CF with your card reader,
then put it in the camera and run "update firmware" in the setup menu.
- #. Empty your CF, download
[https://googledrive.com/host/0B66DLxueQUdxVFJ3LXdpRDJtNnc
400plus-testfir-1.bin.zip], unpack it and copy the file testfir.fir into of
your CF with the card reader.
- #. Insert the CF into the camera and run the firmware update
using 'testfir.fir', the screen will go blank then. _*<font
color="red">Wait at least 2 minutes</font>*_, turn it off, and finally take
battery out and back in.
-
-== Preparing each card ==
-
-The following steps prepare a card to contain `400plus` and be recognized
by the camera; this procedure must be done for each card:
-
- #. First step is to format the CF card, preferably using the camera, but
you can format it on the PC, too.
- #. Now the card must be made _bootable_, so the camera recognizes it:
- * *Windows XP*: use [http://pel.hu/eoscard/ EOScard]; you need to
check both EOS_DEVELOP and BOOTDISK, but neither CHDK nor ML. _NOTE: Latest
version of EOScard does not allow to disable CHDK or ML when both
EOS_DEVELOP and BOOTDISK are active; after formatting the card, please
remove all the files copied to the card by this utility._
- * *Windows 7*: Try first the method described above for WinXP. If you
have problems, try right clicking the EOSCard.exe and click Compatibility
tab, then check "Run this program as administrator". Some Win7 users
reported that no method was working for them, however; in that case,
install VirtualBox with a Linux LiveCD or WinXP running in it, and then use
the appropriate method inside the VM (after attaching the card reader to
the VM).
- * *Mac*: use zeno's [http://www.zenoshrdlu.com/macboot/macboot.html
MacBoot] automated tool. (select "Make DSLR Bootable")
- * *Linux*: use the direct method (below) or use the method and files
described
[http://groups.google.com/group/ml-devel/browse_thread/thread/1161d4e6e93232de
here] (use the second version).
- * *Direct method* for Linux, Mac, and Windows with
[http://www.cygwin.com/ cygwin] or [http://www.chrysocome.net/dd dd]:
- * Find the device corresponding to your CF card (produces a list of
devices, to see where your CF card is; easy way to find it is to match the
size):
- * Linux:
-{{{
- sudo fdisk -l
-}}}
- * Mac (first unmount the card from Disk Utility)
-{{{
- diskutil list
-}}}
- * FAT12 / FAT16 (CF cards up to 2GB) (replace sdX1 with the name of
the device corresponding to the first partition of your CF device):
-{{{
- dev=/dev/sdX1
- echo EOS_DEVELOP | dd of="$dev" bs=1 seek=43 count=11
- echo BOOTDISK | dd of="$dev" bs=1 seek=64 count=8
-}}}
- * FAT32 (CF cards 4GB or larger) (replace sdX1 with the name of the
device corresponding to the first partition of your CF device):
-{{{
- dev=/dev/sdX1
- echo EOS_DEVELOP | dd of="$dev" bs=1 seek=71 count=11
- echo BOOTDISK | dd of="$dev" bs=1 seek=92 count=8
-}}}
- * exFAT
- This is not going to work directly, because the sector
checksums needs to be calculated and written back after writing the
strings. Use the above methods.
- #. Download the
[https://googledrive.com/host/0B66DLxueQUdxVnlqXzA5TU9wclU latest official
release], extract it, and copy to CF.
- #. Put the languages.ini on the CF too, if you want support for
additional languages.
- #. Insert the CF into camera... and you are done!
-
-_If the blue LED of your camera briefly lights up when the camera is
turned on, the hack has been successfully loaded._
-
-== Updating 400plus ==
-
-To update from a previous version of `400plus`, just overwrite the
`autoexec.bin` and `languages.ini` files in all your cards.
-
-== Removing 400plus ==
- * Permanently remove 400plus
- The first step of the installation procedure cannot be undone (at
least for now), and the camera will always try to execute `400plus` _if it
is in the CF card_; thus, formating all your cards will remove `400plus`
for all practical purposes.
- * Temporarily disable 400plus
- Power Off the camera, then press and hold the *TRASH* button. While
holding the button, power on the camera, it should boot without 400plus.

-Now you can read the [http://code.google.com/p/400plus/wiki/UserGuide User
Guide].
