    Hacking the Kodak Reels 8mm Film Digitizer (New Thread)

    IMO this is the number 1 best reason to get rid of the awful stock firmware. I'm stuck with stock firmware after I botched the attempt at attaching the leads for a firmware rip of my weirdo xx26 model, and I haven't tried D firmware in case there's a possibility that someone else has success...

    Hacking the Kodak Reels 8mm Film Digitizer (New Thread)

    A few people here said not to use teflon tape, but I did that anyway (before reading about not doing that). I still think it's better than using the plastic pegs that the unit comes with. I have instead cut some 10mL syringe barrels to make rollers with, and that at least feels like it takes a...

    Hacking the Kodak Reels 8mm Film Digitizer (New Thread)

    Linking the dissassembly video by Mac84, because it's always a pest to try and find it in the thread, or in my watch history. Also keywords: Livestream, live video, dissassemly guide kodak reels reelz. Ok. So I got it all apart with no issues. However I've F'd it up. I managed to lift the...

    Hacking the Kodak Reels 8mm Film Digitizer (New Thread)

    The holy grail, if you can ever wrangle it out of this firmware, would be for it to save frames individually as a raw format. My word that would be awesome for HD ripping every last pixel out of these old films. Edit: Update for FrenchNum. I'm on the very last large reel tonight, and it's a...

    Hacking the Kodak Reels 8mm Film Digitizer (New Thread)

    I can't wait to try out this upgraded mode, if that's even possible with my weirdo version.

    Hacking the Kodak Reels 8mm Film Digitizer (New Thread)

    I'm down to the last few reels. Sorry that I haven't gotten them done quicker, and what I thought was the last few of them turned out to be several large reels. I'm itching to get this first pass done, because I'm getting plenty of the stupid flickering problems that plague these devices. I...

    Hacking the Kodak Reels 8mm Film Digitizer (New Thread)

    Absolutely I'll share it on here as soon as I've got it off the scanner. I'm doing at least one pass of all the films I have (now about 3/4 of the way through) before I crack this thing open, in case I manage to completely munt it. They're pretty pricey here in Aus so it's not something I want...

    Hacking the Kodak Reels 8mm Film Digitizer (New Thread)

    That's got to be my serial no A3026148BK01272 I was concerned that exactly what you're describing might happen if I tried to flash the D firmware onto mine. I am about halfway through completing at least 1 pass of each of the 8mm reels that I have, before I pull apart the device and start...

    Hacking the Kodak Reels 8mm Film Digitizer (New Thread)

    *facepalm* re the reel type. That makes perfect sense in hindsight. I spent plenty of time looking through this giant thread trying to work that out from additional context. I was sure that it was detecting the film type. However, I just now loaded a regular8 and what it does do, is change the...

    Hacking the Kodak Reels 8mm Film Digitizer (New Thread)

    Also, I'm taking a look at your guide for disassembly. If I have a guide like that, I may be able to attach UART leads (I have a TS-101 iron and magnifier) and if all the stars align correctly, possibly dump the firmware. In fact, if I were to go to the trouble of attaching UART leads I'd...

    Hacking the Kodak Reels 8mm Film Digitizer (New Thread)

    I suspect that I would find my FWxxx.bin would be what is given via the Kodak site? The only issue that I've run into with that, is that the guide says Kodak's taken down their firmware page, and I had no luck finding any such firmware on their site. Edit: From the post above, how do I check...

    Hacking the Kodak Reels 8mm Film Digitizer (New Thread)

    Hello everybody (Nick Rivera voice) Thanks for all your hard work in disenshittifying these units. That can't be stated enough; your sharing of this is phenomenal. I have a serial number that looks like it's different to everybody else's. I've bought it recently, so I'm not sure where it sits...
