G3 hack plans?

LordTado

Hy,how its project going?

Nils

I'm so itching to get the hack. The G3 has really grown on me. For the most part its like a GH2 in a smaller package. Also the build feels rather nice. Only the firmware is dumbing it down for no reason. Thanks for your great work Vitaliy!

What will be the hack like? Manual control for video? It will be great if that's the case.

Thanks for keeping us up to date. So GH2, GF2 and GF3 first, then G3!?

G3 is next in line.
But first it'll be porting for GH2, then GF2+GF3.

+1, I just ask my friend to buy a G3 for me from Japan this Christmas. I known Japanese, but I hope the language is Chinese.

im curious to know aswell how it compares to the GH2 in terms of the video quality, the stills are very good compared to GH2 less noise aswell. im thinkin of upgrading bodies soon from G2, i was lookin at the G3 but without manual control its not good

John_Farragut

Would not be bad to have full video control on a G3. They are pretty cheap body only right now. But what is the video quality like on G3 compared to GH2? Does it have the same engine? Too bad they ripped the mic in out of the G series.

I'm willing to take part of this project. Please let me know when the project is about to start so I can donate for the project.

Nils

Yay!!! Where to donate? Or just use the general site donate option? Money is kinda tight, that's why I'm on a G3 rather than GH2, but I still feel the G3 is way underestimated and held back by its firmware.

Vitaliy_Kiselev

Two bodies (one for dumping, one for testing).
Do not rush, please. I'll inform about start of this project.

There are $400 Japanese bodies on the ebay plus $60 worldwide shipping:

How many are required for dumping? How much cash does the community need to raise to facilitate the project?

@zigizigi

>the dumping isn't necessary or is it?

It is necessary. Firmware is encrypted, to decrypt it you need physically dumped firmware.

zigizigi

I'm too considering buying a G3. As the firmware update is out the dumping isn't necessary or is it?

Hello Vitaliy, I'm new here, but ought to say you and your team are doing great job!

I'm also very interested in G3 hack, at least language unlock is a must for me. Considering buying japanese one, so at least a certain possibility confirmation is needed. G3 fw1.2 is out, so...?

Vitaliy_Kiselev

It is good idea to wait for fixed firmware.

Otherwise it'll be same as with GH2, as it'll require dumping.

Hi.

I'd love to see more manual controls + a 1080 24p video mode. Willing to donate ~$20.

Nils

Any chance that the release of the new firmware helps to get a hack for the G3?
Well if they release it again after having fixed that bug...

sharpshot

I'm also interested. Will make a small donation if it can be done. The G3 is so compact, I just had to buy it but would really like some more video functions.

Hack for G3 - Go!

Nils

Just registered to vote in on getting the G3 hacked. Maybe its possible to setup a vote / donation to get it started?

NinpuuKamui

I'm very keen on the on the G3 getting hacked, mainly to get an English menu on my Japanese model, so here is my +1.

Please let me know if there is any way I can help.

@pomoville

It is ok.
Search in this forum engine is completely fucked.
I hope to replace it by google driven search soon.

pomoville

Sorry, I searched for G3, but nothing came up.

Howdy, Stranger!
