Editor preference?

[Brooks]

What editor do you guys prefer for modifying you chip images? I've seen Tunercat, GMEPRO, PROM edit, turbo 6 Tuner and others mentioned.

What editor do you use and why did you choose it over the others?

RealMen (TM) don't need no steeenking editor, they do it in hex in their heads! I used to do it in hex, with a calculator for the conversions, but now I'm old and lazy and use WinBin. This is a windows version of Promedit, which is dos-based. Both are freeware, share a common ecm definition file format (.ecu files), and are available through www.diy-efi.org (surf around for the links). I uploaded an early .ecu file for our ecm to the incoming directory there, but it has one error right at the start - the mat timing compensation table address is wrong so the table looks hosed. I'll upload a newer file RealSoonNow (TM) .

You can also use Tweaker for simple changes. I still use Hexworkshop (habit)

Hex?

Shoot Carl, I have a hard time with base 10! If I had to work with hex I'd have to take off both shoes and then the extra toes would probably confuse me!

Free is a good reason to choose winbin.

Paul, thanks for the info on tweaker I'll go take a look at it later today.
