Sure!

The binary code in the Ford EEC-V PCM is made up of 4 "banks" of memory. They are numbered 0,1,8, and 9.

The emulator uses a 32K-size file that is made up of bank 8 of the binary code in the PCM (where most of the maps are). When using the emulator, the truck operates on banks 0,1, and 9 while the emulator supplies bank 8.

The definition file for the emulator is also different than the standard definition so that it has the capability to change bank 8 inputs to the emulator.

So, the 224K files that you have for your tunes need to be broken down into a 32K file that the emulator definition can use.

The "romulator" is unable to operate all 4 bank changes.
