Followup: there's more than a few things different between 0007 and 0009, including the BDEL and Max WG DC tables. So, I guess I'm still asking if anyone has a current XML for it.

mrfred, since you have Colby's ear with respect to XML additions, would you be able to pass along a definition for that ROM if someone can provide it?

I've got one at home and will post it when I'm back later. First test of DMA is working on 96260009, and speed density is nearly ready too.

nice work guys. I completely agree with having a standard for rom versions. Why several rom versions in the first place?

BTW: Im running 96530006 v5.1 and can also test other stuff for a VIII MR.

i apologize for the excuses i still have no had a chance to test. It has been an incredible week of crap going on. I will have time as soon as i get home.

Which car originally used 96260009?

I just noticed the a/c issue with my own car. The car doesn't stall if the a/c is turned on, but when I log with Evoscan the a/c input doesn't turn on when I turn the a/c on. If I remember correctly, the later ECUs have two inputs for A/C and the earlier cars only have one.

According to the wiki, 96260009 came from a 2005 JDM Evo application, although that might not be correct.

jcsbanks: If I get enough time to copy over my maps to tephra's 96260009 5.10 release, I'll give it a try at lunch. Is there anything we need to know about the dual BCS stuff on single-BCS cars?

(Hmm, this XML is pretty different than the other VIII descriptions included with 1.41, but that's not too surprising. I might spend a bit of time reconciling the differences to make it look a bit more like the rest.)

he previously said that it shouldn't matter if one or both are gone. the IX JDM rom had a bunch of extra Max WGDC tables. I just made them all the same.

There are two sets of WG duty maps for the two solenoids. One I gather is closed loop and one is open loop. Not sure which is which. On a car I converted to a single 3 port solenoid I just set them all the same.

I suspect that the set of solenoid maps that are at 100% as standard are going to operate the solenoid on other 8s in the same way as it does on your stock ECU.

I have a pin outs that shows for both the evo 7 and 8, according to it pin 8 on the evo 8 is the ac relay and pin 22 is the fuel pump, on both the evo7 and 2G eclipse's those pins are swapped. i had to switched my wires when I did the 8 ecu install in my eclipse, I just haven’t switched them back to see if the car still runs that way. That’s why I think there are a couple of wiring differences when using the 9055 rom verses the other evo8 ROMs. But if JC is close to Speed density on the 9626 rom I think I am going to leave my wiring alone and switch to a different rom. All I would need to know is if it will pass emissions.

Well, it was a failed first attempt at running 96260009 on my USDM '05 MR. I tried both with a "proper" converted immobilizer configuration, and a disabled one via the periphery, and couldn't get the car to fire in either case (it cranked fine).

I had a very short amount of time to play with it, so I may have missed something obvious. I'll try and find a bit of time this weekend to look at it more.

Thanks for trying so far.

I'm sure there is a simple explanation for the remaining differences, but at present it might be easier just to code for a few more ECUs than go looking for it.

I would be willing to help troubleshoot 96260009 on my USDM '03 with 94170015 currently on it. However, I need a good .xml file first so I can make sure I move everything over.

If we could get pin out diagrams for both, it may show the problem logic ran into.

On a related note, I have been comparing the 94170015.xml to the 96530006.xml. The addresses below ~426c all seem to be the same. At this point, there is a small offset that pops up that ranges from 0-32 up until about 6000. From 6000 on, it looks like the offset is 480-600 with 540 for many of the maps.

If we could get a solid .xml for either the 96530006 or 96260009 ROMs it would help with testing this out.

Two ROMs to support would REALLY improve the amount of refinement that could be done. Seems like a ton of time is spent just trying to keep xmls straightened up and then copying patches over. That's just time wasted that could be used to create and test even better features.

so i had a fail when i tried this. It appears my battery is almost dead in the evo even though i only have 19k miles. I flashed the rom, it wouldn't start due to the immobilizer and then i didn't have enough battery to flash it again :/

I have to now swap out batteries or use my buddy's IX. I tried to jump the car but it still wouldn't let me flash. Not sure why, any ideas?

Edit: I swapped out batteries and it is not letting me flash.

keeps giving me the following log:
