I think I am doing something wrong here. I have 2 stock eproms that I am trying to take the bins off of (APYU and AUJM).
I move from device to buffer, then save buffer. If I save as a binary, when I load it in tuner pro I get all zeros for everyting. When i have as ASCII hex, I get a bunch of jacked up numbers (it seems that 30 pops up everywhere).
The same exact thing happens with both proms which leads me to believe that I am just saving something wrong, and tuner pro does not know how to read it properly.
I am pretty sure the mask is 6E, but I tried 32, and 32b and those dont seem to show much of anything usefull.
Any help you guys can lend would be great.
Thanks!

What PCM? What program are you using? Does TunerPro recognize the PP so you can open the built in burner utility with Ctrl+B? Sorry I have no experience with the PPII to offer more advice. With my BURN2 I dont have to specify the type of file I want it saved as.

My ecm is a '165. You must be referring to Tuner Pro RT, sadly I only have the free version. For reading / saving and burning, I am just using the Pocket Programmer 2 software. I have not logged anything since switching from the slow '85 computer. I was using win aldl then.
Are there any good free options for logging and chip burning/ reading? If Tuner Pro RT has come a long way in the last few years, and really does logging, burning / reading and bin editing well, I may have to pony up for it. Things are tight right now and would rather not spend if I don't have to.
You know RT is free to D/L and use, you should register cause Mark works hard on it but why not get it and try to see if that would fix your issue, no features are withheld in the unregistered version.

I still use the PPII software, with my PP2 burner of course. Runs on my old laptop with Win98. Has a parallel port, and thus wont work with my new Dell desktop. The people who make it told me to get rid of it, and upgrade to the PP3, which runs off USB and a seperate power supply. But why should I fork out $100s for that new tech, when the old stuff works just fine?
I think you are reading the chip correct, save buffer to binary, should work. I will have to boot up the laptop and check it out.

Well I got a chance to fire up my PP2 software. If you are using a '165 ecm, you should be using 16kb size files. Most likely the 27C128. So first you gotta make sure you got that right. And you should be saving the file as binary. Just pick your device and "move device" to buffer. Then save it somewhere with the proper name. Maybe you got your start and end address wrong when you saved something. Tunerpro should work fine to read it, as long as you are using $6E mask. The RT version is what you want for datalogging. I don't think you can burn chips with Tunerpro. Just use your PP2. TP RT is your best bet, to register it is only $30. The PP2 is very usefull since it can handle alot of different chips.
