I made very good progress in last days. Really, only two patches remain. Manual video and PAL/NTSC switching using menu. Most probably, both won't be present in initial release as due to very significant software differencies I need too much time to understand how to implement them in the new way.
Awesome, to change Japanese to English was why I started the TZ10 decrypt thread on dvx after all. This is excellent! Feeling a little left out though :)
I really hope for an upcomming patch, including the ability to shoot in raw. Thank you Vitaliy for all your efforts to bring something new on the field!
Small update. TZ10 firmware is still in the reversing stage (as it differs much more compared to GH line it require bunch of time). Most probably first patches will appear in Ptool in this month.
>Is it possible for the TZ-10 to get something similar to IXUS/Powershot's CHDK
No, I do not think so.
>Can I get my hands on the description to decode the TZ-10 firmware myself?
You can not. With time IDA database for TZ10 will be available to interested owners, but not today. As for helping out, I am not against it. Send me primers of your actual projects via PM.
I recently bought a TZ-10 and would like to be able to use some extended features by a hack, thanks for doing this! Is it possible for the TZ-10 to get something similar to IXUS/Powershot's CHDK or was that a one-"shot"? :-) Can I get my hands on the description to decode the TZ-10 firmware myself? I'm a software engineer with interest and knowledge in C/C++, C#, assembler, FPGA's, microprocessors, could I do something to help out?
