Need tonnes more info such as

Examples of the changes
Proof someone actually installed this (author takes photo of LCD confirming firmware install)
What hacks have been added
Any info associated

i dont think people will rush to install something from a zip file onto an expensive camera without reassurance.

Ok I'll bite. Assuming this is for real, are we suppose to update version A or B? Both?

Of course, I'm waiting for at least 10 people to have successfully update it before I do

Like:

How does MLU work?

How many people in the hak group are using the hacked FW?

Are there any reported problems/side effects?

Suggestion:

Don't just put the BIN file in the zip, include some sort of documentation like a README file.

Oh, and, thanks for your efforts!

From the filename it looks exactly like its replacing b and its a 1/3 of the file size than the official b update from Nikon.

Can't trust this at all, unless i see proof. Its not that hard to edit a .bin file and delete chunks of stuff and convince people its hacked with new features only to find it corrupts your camera.

I advise everyone to be cautious as OldSchool mentioned... there was a post on the D70_Hak forum for Nikon Capture that had a virus... second thought is even if it did include everything listed, if there was a problem it could void your warranty. If someone spent the time to make legitimate improvements to the firmware they would likely include documentation... I think I will wait and see how this plays out BUT I am very sketical and hope others don't have problems. Perhaps the cautious among us will be wrong but I don't think so!

When the 300D hack came out, I was one of the first to try it, because I could see that what the hacker said was true (he had only changed a jump instruction to a nop).

So, it was a measured risk.

Here, on the other hand, it seems too vague.

I haven't seen the official Nikon firmware, because mine came already updated, but someone in this thread said this one was half the size. That really can't be. Unless I get more info I can confirm, I am not risking. This might be a really bad practical joke.

LMAO, this is what this thread should've started as. Still waiting on at least several people to have confirmed that this hack has worked without problems...

Also, before anyone will jump, it will be good to know if we can reload the previous Nikon firmware if it does not work out.
