GF hack - simple questions

lampadaferens September 2012

I am late to this party and spent 6 hours trying to hack my GF1 to make use of Timelapser's 2 fps mode. I started by updating the GF1 firmware to the latest official version (which seemed reasonable at the time but might just be the problem). So I know how to get firmware on the camera at least. I downloaded the PTOOL and modified the GH1__132 to do what I needed and it wouldn't flash. I then modified a version of the GF1__122 version in PTOOL and changed only the version checking and it loaded. My GF1 is now version 0.0. Progress I thought.

So now, my simple question. The hack I need is to the MJPEG frame rate 720p30 -> 720pXfps. In the firmware for GF1 there's no option in PTOOL. Is that the problem. I can't do what I want in a GF1?

If the answer is "no" it was at least an education. cheers Bob

It was kind of planned, but I don't think it made it in the latest release of Ptool.

btw, the search engine in this website is less than optimal. I suggest you to use google option site:personal-view.com. For example this search gives you the answer in first result :

Thanks for the search tip. I had seen this post but as with many other posts it doesn't specifically mention the GF1 but I see now that the inference that it and the GH2 do not have this option.
