Download

The latest release of RomRaider is available here for Windows and here for Other Platforms. Both variants are installers (ZIP archives also available - see below) and require the latest 32bit (x86) version of Java SE JRE to already be installed.

Windows ZIP | Linux ZIP

This version of RomRaider does NOT ship with ECU or logger definitions. You are required to download and install both sets of definitions in order for RomRaider to be functional. You can find the latest ECU definitions HERE and the latest logger definitions HERE.

Notes

1. Since RomRaider relies on various externally provided classes and vendor libraries, the 64bit Java VM is not supported. The RomRaider installer and Editor will issue warnings if a 64bit Java VM is detected and advise the user to uninstall it and install the 32bit Java VM. The Logger will warn and exit. It is unlikely that 64bit Java VM will even be supported as all external classes and vendor libraries must be compiled for native 64bit operation. See note 3 for an example.
2. To log External sensors only, un-select both the ECU and TCU checkbox on the Logger menu bar. Then switch to the Externals tab and check the items to be logged. The log Externals only setting is not retained between logging sessions.
3. The use of ISO15765 requires a J2534 compliant cable. Since the J2534 specification only defines Windows 32bit systems as a valid platform, Linux systems are not officially supported. When/if a Linux J2534 driver becomes available then support can be enabled for non-Windows platforms.
4. This rudimentary test app ONLY works with J2534 compliant cables and ONLY supports the ISO15765 protocol. It can currently read out the vehicle information and any active DTCs. The app can ONLY be started in the RomRaider directory from a command window using the following syntax:

The latest RomRaider ECU and logger definitions, which may be updated independently of the software, can be found here: ECU definitions and Logger definitions. Definition updates can include additional table, parameter and ROM support as well as important bug fixes and other improvements.
