- Change Log -

0.5.8 RC1 (05/31/2014) Build # 635
-------------------------------------------

[1] The settings XML file can be stored in the RomRaider directory as an alternate location. This allows multiple customized installations (using the ZIP version) to exist each with their own settings.

Editor

• Improved ROM image compare functions
• Memory utilization improvements
• Updates to Save As Repository option
• New Settings to customize table open/close and focus
• New Settings to customize where tables open on the screen
• New Settings for data cell select and highlight colours
• Map colourization is no longer automatic when a cell is changed. Use the new button to re-colour the table after changes are made
• Cell Tool-Tip displays real value of cell data
• Fixed adding/removing associations
• Added ability to Ctrl+Alt+Click(Drag) to un-select cells
• Support added for multiple table scaling units. With a compatible ECU definition a user can select axis and/or data unit scaling such as imperial or metric, etc. A sample ECU def can be found here:
  https://raw.githubusercontent.com/scott ... u_defs.xml
• Added a Raw Scaling definition so users can select it and see the table in its natural units as stored in the ROM image
• Table Property updated to list all available scalings for the table as well as the Logger parameter ID used for the Logger overlay function
• Removed JFontChooser library
• Added ability to convert ROM image from 160kB to 192kB
• Added ability to convert ROM image from 192kB to 160kB
• Added Table axis and data cell interpolation feature
• Added support for additional Checksum validation/corrections found in BRZ ROMs
• Removed BareBonesBrowser library, now uses existing class
• Updated Java 3D libraries to version 1.5.2

Logger

• Fixed Learning Table Values international character support
• Added support for PLX SM-AFR Gen 3
• Removed reference to minimum Logger definition XML file version
• New OBD mode 1 Logging support for CAN ECUs using J2534 (you will need logger.xml version 258 or higher)
• Add protocol attribute to user Logging Profiles to indicate OBD and SSM profiles

Operational Notes

• 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.
• 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.
• The use of ISO15765 requires a J2534 compliant cable. Since the J2534 specification only defines Windows 32bit (not 64bit) systems as a valid platform, Linux and 64bit systems are not officially supported. When/if a Linux J2534 driver becomes available then support can be enabled for non-Windows 32bit platforms.

A note about External plugins: The native Innovate MTS (DLL) driver checks each COM port on the computer to determine if any Innovate devices are connected. This action can slow the Logger's startup when the plugin is loaded. If you do not need the support of the Innovate MTS (LM-2), I suggest moving that plugin item out of the RomRaider\plugins directory to stop it from loading. Actually this can be done for any External plugin that you don't use in your setup.


Please download it and give it a workout!

Great work. I appreciate it.

I just downloaded 0.5.8 RC1 zip and exe file.
But it's been checked by google chrome which is virus!?
Could you confirm if it's OK?

I posted the MD5 hash values in the original post so you can verify them. All the downloads match the compiled versions I uploaded.

Looks like the colors are wrong for the afr maps?



The editor also seems a bit slower to load roms than the earlier version.

Else than that, keep up the good work

This is one of those inverted value tables (14.7/(1+x*.0078125)). If you flip to the Raw Value you will notice that the raw values are colored properly.

I would guess that this is using the raw value instead of the converted real value to determine the colors.

The 0.5.8 have a bug in windows xp(i haven't test it in 7) and when you save the file change the first 11 bytes to 00 value

Please provide an example of an unmodified and a modified ROM so we can see what is affected.
Also included the ECU definition file you are using for the ROM and the rr_system.log file.

This definition is not for subaru it is for motorcycle,i have test it in other motorcycle files and does the same so i use again 0.5.7.
I attach an example photo

I can confirm there's no issue on Windows 7 using the latest Java 32 bit (which would be the same Java version for Win XP).
I tested on Win XP but an older version of Java 6 and no issue with it either. Tested both 16 bit and 32 bit ROM files. I made a change, saved the ROM and compared against the unmodified ROM and only the item I changed was listed as different.

Can you double check that your definition does not contain any table with an address of 0 or an address that is out of the range of the ROM that could be interpreted as 0 if it's too large?

If you open a ROM and save it as a different file with no changes to it at all, do you see the same problem, only the first 12 bytes appear to change?

In the file that i post i have a switch that change from &H02 to &H0B but i save the file without anything changed.

Also i check in a 16bit file that in address &H00 is the rom and xml id and save the file to test it,only 4 bytes in this changed.

It doesn't matter if you save the file with different name or without changes something is corrupt the file and this problem with 0.5.7 was not exist the definitions is the same without any change.

Java edition is version 7 update 55 also when i install the 0.5.8 i use as always the default folder do you believe that this have to do something?

Can you send me a sample of your work (ROM and definition) via PM to test as I cannot replicate the problem with current known definitions.

I will try in my windows 7 and if they make the same i will sent you a sample

The same thing in windows 7, pm sent to check and report me.

I have time now to debug through this. If you want to PM me the samples I can take a look.
