Sorry to ask, but did you tried that ?
I don't understand why the camera would not start if it does not have the 'part' that gives information on the battery.
Maybe it will just work, with empty informations ?

Whatever, another solution would be to have "false" batteries, going it the battery place, with a cable to be plugged in the power cord plug ?

If you don't mind having a big battery on the floor (or at your belt), check what I did on my blog. You can even have bigger batteries for whatever you want.

You are thinking from the technical point of view, instead of business angle. Have you heard of some inkjet printer companies that design their printers not to accept generic cartridges?
As far as the 12V DC input, I heard that Anton Bauer is getting ready their external battery solution.
