You know at the very least you'll have to press continue viewing with no definition so you can find out what rom ID you have. Then if possible search for the right xml for that ID.

Mike, is this a ROM from your car's old OEM ECU? Was it ever tuned by someone else? There's a few "tuners" who think obscuring the ROM ID is good copy protection for their work; you probably just need to change it to the correct value. (Shoot me an email, I can probably fix it up for you if you want.)

Please search a little better. There are quite a few threads on this, and even this one outlines a few solutions.

Click through the appropriate menus and the rom should come up as undefined. If you can't find information about the romid on here or the ECU tuning wiki then attempt to change it to the common evo IX map ID.

If you do the latter, I recommend copying pertinent information to your tune, and not flashing the whole ROM that you pulled.

The ROM ID for what you posted is 98640014; according to what we have on the wiki, it's for a 2002 JDM Evo VII (not VIII).

You'll need an XML that describes that ROM; take a look at this thread on Geekmapped for that.

Good luck!
