I don't understand the exact problem you're having. You're gotten EcuFlash to read your ROM off the ECU. And you've extracted the necessary definition files to the proper location. So what's not working exactly? Saying, "I still can't get it to work" gives me nothing to go on. Take a screenshot of what EcuFlash is telling you or what its showing you to better explain it not working.

 

theres really no other way to put it. it still says there isnt a description for my car. same bs it was doing before. i called the previous owner and he told me i had to change how ecuflash shows the rom i guess? it made absolutely no sense to me. is there some sort of thing i should change so i can actually view my rom through ecuflash. this is getting somewhat irritating, ive never had this much trouble using this program until this car.

 

I don't know what else to tell you. As long as the necessary definition files are located in the Lancer folder under EcuFlash it should read your ROM. Did you put them in the correct location:

C:\Program Files\OpenECU\EcuFlash\rommetadata\mitsubishi\lanc er

 

yep. when it logs my ecu the rom info shows exactly what my car is now, 03 lancer oz 5 speed. but for some reason i cant actually view the maps.

ill take a screenshot

 

 

If you're getting that message then you don't have the definition files in the right spot. I was able to reproduce that same message just now by removing your definition file from the directory and then trying to open your ROM. And low and behold I moved the definition file back in, reopened your ROM in EcuFlash and it read it perfectly. I don't know what more I can tell you.

 

I got it. Vista was blocking me from altering any of my programs because i wasn't on the admin account. I re-downloaded the definition files on the admin account and it works fine.

 

^^ Were you able to tune for the mods you have?

I just received my cable in the mail, here's hoping that it will be read!

 

where did you get your cable at? I am having trouble finding one.

Also i cant get the xml files to load in ECUFlash. I even converted them to .hex

 

You don't need to do anything more with the definition files after copying them into the rommetadata folder. They are used when you load an ECU ROM into EcuFlash. Until then, they just sit in the folder.

 

But no beside who file 93270017 ?
Tried to open its ROM file on base others, s new 93270017 but tables are opened bad.

 

There are only USDM definition files here. Over in the OpenECU.org forums they have lots of EDM and non-USDM definition files you can use.

 

i was wondering if someone could send me the definition file for 2005 lancer es auto. Because at this point im so confused about everything. If it can be setup like the tutourial sample evo map that would be great. i can dl that and it works but i have no clue how to pull rom off car and such.

 

I suggest starting here:

please help me lol i have anouther thread up but im posting here also so because incase someone else has the same problem as me. when i connect to my lancer and to get my rom. i get it but all i can see is my rom information and the immobilizer. And when you try to click on anything else a pop up say's The current map description is invalid or incomplete. Please edit the map description to fix the problem and the map will be viewable again. I tried researching is and all everyone says is i dont have the correct def. file. But i have the files from master def. list and my rom id is 98720010 and that is on the list.O and how else can i post my rom. it's 103.9 so i cant post here.
