I have an a3000 witch i use mostly for YouTube videos and it’s a pain to only records 29 min and 51 secs. I tried to install the tweak several times with no luck. Is it possible on the a3000 or is there some fw limitation?

OpenMemories-Tweak is only for Sony cameras which support installing android apps.

If you're camera can't install apps, then instead use PMCA-RE pmca-gui.exe, or pmca-console.exe. Which supports Sony camera's from 2007 -2016.

The A3000 can probably be added. As a first step, we have to dump its firmware. If you're interested to help, here's what you can do:

  • If you're on windows, download the newest development build of pmca-console here.
  • Download 0x22030000.zip and place it in the same folder (no need to unpack). It contains a bunch of firmware images which might match your camera.
  • Power on your camera and connect it over USB to your computer.
  • Open a command prompt and run the following command: pmca-console guess_firmware -f 0x22030000.zip
  • With a bit of luck, the script should find the model id of your camera.

Let me know if you need any help.

I’m actually a Mac user, but i do have a Windows laptop laying around. I’ve tried the pmca-console of the link you provided, but it consistently crashes every single time as soon as it opens. My laptop runs on the newest windows 10 version.

@leoleo-s You have to run the program in the windows command line. Place the .exe file and the .zip file in the same directory, open the command line, run cd C:\path\to\the\directory and then run pmca-console-v0.17-51-g52f5c6f-win.exe guess_firmware -f 0x22030000.zip
