help reading vn tune

[V8hilux]

I bought a GQ-4X programer and trying to figure out how to use it.

the chip i'm trying to read was bought from a guy called greenfoam for my vp 5.0.
the memcal he sent me had a socket soldered in to it and I pulled the eprom out of the socket and put it in the programer with the notch facing away from me and the eprom down in the bottom holes. (is that right)

I hit read, and it read the chip and then i saved the bin to my desktop.

I opened tunerpro and that's where I'm at. (I have been using turerpro with my navram and ose12p with the bubble tracing for my car so I need to find out how to get rid of the xdf/bin/etc that was used for the ose12p and figure out which settings/xdf's etc I need up the top of tunerpro page to read the bin from the vp chip that i downloaded with the programer from the eprom.

I know I don't need to use the programer to tune my car as I have since bought all the navram mods from this site but since I bought the programer a week before getting the navram i am just curious as to how to use it like they did before the navram came about.

any info or directions to the posts i need to read would be appreciated thanks.

all i know about the eprom is on the underside it says 7842217sbi mf52 philippines and on the top has a silver sticker and says some other numbers but the sticker covers them up.

It seems I read the chip ok, but it's all hex so which settings to turn it to english thanks

Code: Select all

vrchip.bin

This is the file i read from the eprom. how can you tell which $$$ signs and letters you need to open the bins?

looks like its $DB, and my DB xdf seems to read it ok.

Thanks guys,

I grabbed that bin ID tool... very nice thanks and pat on the back for whoever made it..

I just opened up the bin in tp5 with the DB xdf It doesn't seem to have much stuff in it compared to the ose12p.

So if I wanted I could change whatever in the bin and then erase the eprom and then re save with the programer? seems simple enough, but the ose12p sure does make it easy with the realtime and all.

Thanks very much.
