Pitch in for a "burner" NX500 for a chance to achieve 2K5 high rate?
Apr 8, 2016

I will shortly (probably during the weekend) release the unified NX1/NX500 bitrate hack - there will be some nice surprises in there - I hope.
In the meantime, whilst I am working on that on my NX500, I have also been looking into possible ways to "production-ize" my 2k5 high bitrate hack that is currently only possible manually through telnet and gdb.
Unfortunately I have hit what seems to be a brick wall in that I was unable to identify a place where the 12Mbps rate is passed on to the RTOS kernel when Otto's 2k5 hack is activated.
At this time I am contemplating a brute force attempt to replace one of the shared libraries used by the di-camera-app.
The issue with this is that this has to be an intervention in the camera filesystem and if I mess it up, the di-camera-app will crash upon startup.
The result would be a nice NX500 shaped brick, since I am unaware of any way to reflash firmware that is done outside of the camera UI which is managed by the di-camera-app.
NB. I know for a fact that di-camera-app crashing basically kills the camera - you have no more way to connect to it.
As I am unwilling to also risk my camera in addition to the significant time I am putting into this, I'd like to gauge willingness on your part to source a "burner" camera and make it available to me for brick-level dangerous tests.

Yes, I would pledge (anything between 0 and 20 EUR) and I would be willing to organize the acquisition

I volunteer my camera for that.
