Yesterdays news about the new Sony hack software created some buzz on the web. I do hope this will become a sort of Magic Lantern for Sony!

Here is some additional info on the hack:

The full list of “hackable” cameras can be seen here: github.com/ma1co/OpenMemories-Framework/blob/master/docs/Cameras.md

SAR reader Vlousada added a way to hack your camera without the browser limitation:

For those with trouble with Internet browsers such Chrome, Firefox, Opera must try:
1. download https://github.com/ma1co/Sony-…
1.1. save or copy the pmca-v0.4-win.exe file to a folder. I use C:\PMCA

2. Into that folder create a file Install.cmd
2.1 Edit Install.cmd and paste this text:

@ECHO OFF
C:\PMCA\pmca-v0.4-win.exe install -f *.apk
PAUSE

3. Download and copy https://github.com/ma1co/OpenM… to that folder
4. Open a command prompt into that folder (use CTRL+SHIFT+RightMouseClick)
4.1 Install
