Wolverine Reels2Digital Moviemaker and different firmware questions

[Bradley Moon]

Hello Everyone. I've enjoyed reading through the archived and this current forum. There's a lot of great and interesting work going on here!

I have a few questions, I hope you can guide me on the correct course of action.

I'm using a stock Wolverine Reels2Digital Moviemaker (not the pro version). I want to scan the movies with zero magnification, images centered, low sharpness and -0.5 light. After the scan, I want to take the footage into a video editor so that I can scale and block the footage, basically keeping the 4:3 ratio, so this will block off the top and bottom margins and of course the extra left and right. Also, change the framerate per Super 8 or 8mm.

So it looks like my best option would be to flash the firmware to the 1080x1440 firmware located here:
http://retromania.pandelground.com/w...tal-moviemaker

Will this firmware work with my version of the Wolverine?
Do you feel this is the best resolution for my needs?
Is there a different firmware I should be aware of?
Any issues you've encountered using the proposed firmware?

Thanks again for everyones valuable help!

Hi, the retromania firmware site is no longer available. I have a problem with my scanner, did you perhaps keep the firmware and can you send it to me by email?

Thank you Robert

Bradley Moon Roberto Tavano Did you ever try this firmware update? The firmware update site https://retromania.pandelground.com/...al-moviemaker/ seems to be active again.
I've seen conflicting reports, however I think on European models.
My native firmware is 20211215a-z522.
Anyone?

I recently got a brand new Wolverine Pro,
and upon powering on the machine, I only see a Blue Screen with the Wolverine Logo (Picture Shown).

There is no response to the buttons, as the screen is stuck on the logo,
And there is no motor noise or any movement on the reels upon startup.

I have contacted support, and loaded the provided Firmware to no avail.

Any suggestions? Potential east fix? Or should I get a replacement machine?

Thanks.
