    I remember having a PowerShot SX110IS back in 2010 and there was an open source firmware I loaded on it. I forget what it was called. It’s a damn shame that we can’t really do stuff like that anymore.

      It was most likely CDHK, which is also what I run on my old SX130IS.

      Magic Lantern probably. Don’t know about compact cameras, but this thing was big with DSLRs 10-15 years ago. What’s pretty impressive to me is that it didn’t require flashing the firmware, it just booted from a memory card.
