    It took a little poking around to find the link for the MAC OS X version on the US Site.

    Sorry for the double-post. I should have waited until I'd completed the update. It turns out that the Mac OS X updater is a 32-bit only application. If you're running OS X 10.7, you're probably in 64-bit mode by default and the updater will just tell you it can't run because of that.

    I hadn't run across this with any other application before. It turns out that you can boot to a 32-bit kernel by rebooting and holding down the 3 and 2 keys while you boot.

    Once I did that, the updater ran fine and my camera now displays the 1.01 version internally.

    1.01 has apparently been withdrawn. Couldn't load it, and the tech had no idea that 1.01 even existed. Went to page and .05 is the latest!!

How To Install OpenMemories AppStore

Image
OpenMemories App Shown on Camera's Application Tab DHI Enterprises shows us how to install a third party application for Sony Cameras which support the PlayMemories Camera Apps. The third party OpenMemories AppStore can now be installed using the same method shown. WARNING from the OpenMemories AppStore developer: Is it safe? This is an experiment in a very early stage. All information has been found through reverse engineering. Even though everything worked fine for our developers, it could cause harm to your hardware. If you break your camera, you get to keep both pieces. We won't take any responsibility. However, this seems to be safer than tampering with your camera firmware directly. We're just interacting with the isolated Android subsystem. Apps you install this way can be uninstalled in the applications manager. In the worst case, a factory reset of the camera clears all data on the Android partitions. How To Install OpenMemories AppStore on your Sony C...
