Actually you don't need any software. You attach the emulator adapter to the PCM (where the chip goes), hook up the emulator (via serial/usb adapter), go up to the "Romulator" tab in Minotaur, select a COM port, and hit connect. Then you download the 32K file you made, and start the truck. You will need the emulator definition though and Bill didn't charge me for mine since it's basically the same as your existing definition but it's made to work with the emulator.

You can select a box that says "real time update", which changes stuff on the fly or you can make some changes and hit "download" again and download the changes to the emulator. The engine will die when you do this and will require a restart.

Ohh... and after you are satisfied with your program, do you have to convert it back to 224K to load it on the chip? How does this work?

Ok, how about the HEX WORKSHOP program, included or seperate?

Download off the internet. Free.

Yep, just paste the modified 32K binary into the 224K file and VOILA!!

Nice! Well I thought texting while driving was hard, this should take it to another level.:D

I just realized since you cannot change any of the "functions" that shift schedule adjustment is out.


DANG!

cleatus12r Wed, January 20th, 2010 10:14 PM

Oh, my bad, Dave. Yes, the shift scheduling is adjustable. I had a brain fart.

Adjust to your heart's content.

Then you simply select the 32768 bytes that you need (address E000 to 16000) and paste them into a new sheet, save it, and load it into the emulator definition.

Am I looking at the right thing here.....

This computer stuff is crazy.:crazy:

Yeah. That's it.

What you need to do is delete the first 57344 bytes. Use the "edit" and "select block". Then with the selector in "dec", type in 57344 and hit "ok". Delete that block. You should start with a hex value of "27FE".

Select another block of 32768 bytes and copy that to a new hex editing window.

There's your emulation binary!


When you go back in after changing, use the original 224K binary and insert the modified 32768 bytes into the 224K program.
