Maybe a noob question, help importing tables into stock rom

Hey guys. New to the forum, kinda. Been searching for the past few days for all the info I needed to start getting up on EcuFlash with my X. I've found a plethora of good information and it's certainly got me started and adjusted. The only problem is, I can't figure out for the life of me how people are importing maps (offered by gunzo for example) into their stock roms for a base tune. The only thing I can figure is they do it by hex editing (with which I don't even know where to begin). There's no how-tos, no links in threads covering the subject... I've searched and searched but nothing seems to come up. I see that Subbie owners can use RomRaider to merge the data, but I haven't found anything like it for us Mitsu guys. Help?

Thanks!

when i switch data between tables i typically have to copy the new data (highlight all cells in ecuflash etc, from drop down menu select copy), paste into excel, re-highlight and copy what i just pasted into excel and copy it into notepad. I than copy from notepad all info and paste back into the ecuflash youd like to over-write

little tedious but it works

Guys,

I appreciate the responses. I think it's possible that I didn't make myself clear enough in my first post. I understand that you can copy and paste data between two tables. What I should have asked, is how do you read the file you've downloaded (in my case, Gunzo's 93 octane map) in order to compare them? When I downloaded the file, it didn't have any file extension. I just don't know how to open it with Ecu Flash and compare the tables contained within those files. My first guess is that I can't open it with EcuFlash. I'm a techie type gearhead, so I feel like I should be able to figure out, but the file not having an extension doesn't leave me much to go off of.

Extension are .bin or .hex

You also need the definition xml file to allow ECUFlash to read the ROM file. Two ways really, if you know the ROM file name, 96530007 for example, get the xml for that from a search. If you don't know the ROM file name, do a "create from scratch" follow the wizard when asked the ROM internal ID location enter f52 8 bytes I think. that'll give you the internal ROM ID then you can search or ask here.
