"Card Tricks - a small utility to help manage SD cards" created by whim.
Features
- Copy CHDK binaries to your memory card
- Create a "Universal Dumper Card" to dump your firmware (You have to select the correct OS Version for your camera model!!! for example SD900 has a VxWorks 5.5 OS, dump works with VxWorks)
- View strings in firmware dump with bintext.exe (included)
- Format your memory card (also adds 'ver.req' to get firmware version)
- Make your memory card bootable
- Backup & Restore CHDK folder / config file

Download
→ Forum post always has a link to the latest version, an alternative download location is at http://drop.io/chdksoft
→ The program gets falsely flagged as malware quite often - if this happens try an online scan:
- functionally identical to v1.43, but now packed with [www.7zip.org 7zip] instead of UPX
- Added support for CCHDK.CFG
- Resizing ("GUI Config") now no longer forces re-selection of the card
- New: last used path for copying CHDK binary zips is now remembered; file selection will open there next time
- Card Tricks v1.41 (0.4MB) (for Windows version 2000 or higher)
- Now checks the card size before creating Udumper; refuse on cards < 16 Mb; reduced empty.dum size to ~ 10 Mb, now 16 Mb cards are OK for Udump
- New: updated Udumper + sources (uses brake's corrected encode.c now)
- Helper files and source code now always overwritten (bugfix)
- New: checkbox to activate CF support for DSLR's
Card Tricks 1.39 is the last version which supports Windows 98/ME, |
- Card Tricks v1.39 (0.4MB) (last version with support for Windows 98 / ME)
- Modified udumper to dump firmware to the end (=0xFFFF FFFF)
- Modified cleaning routine for the dump, after removing leading/trailing zeroes it now chops the last 2 bytes; this should assure painless loading into IDA
- The 'Download CHDK' button now opens both GrAnd's and Hacki's Autobuild pages in default browser
- New: If other CT running, bring that to the front, then exit; little splashscreen (should only be visible on first run); added checkbox to control tooltips
- New: Improved universal dumper support: now has a button to clean your dump (will auto-remove leading and trailing zeros, and remind you to give it a useful name)
- Card Tricks v1.36 (with new udumper2008)
- Card Tricks v1.34
- Card Tricks v1.33
- Card Tricks v1.25

Internals
- Cardtricks is written in the AutoIt scripting language. More informations about this very powerful, free tool can be found on the AutoIt v3 Homepage.
- CardtricksXXX.exe is a self-expanding file. When it is started it creates a sub-folder on the current folder, named Cardtricks, then it copies its source code, unpackers, the helper tools like the dumpers & the bintext tool, GUI images and some other stuff into this folder.
- When Cardtricks is started the first time, it creates also its configuration file named CardtricksXXX.ini in the folder from where it was started from.
So check whether you have the permission to write & create files/folders when you start Cardtricks, e.g. create a new folder in your personal user area, copy CardtricksXXX.exe to this folder and run it from there.
- The logic of the "Make Bootable" button is this:
"File System: FAT32" → button greyed out (card > 4 GB or you need to Format as FAT first) "File System: FAT" → button greyed out if already bootable ("CHDK Autorun: ON ...") → button available if not yet bootable ("CHDK Autorun: OFF ...")
