tunercat features

Where can I find "hacks" for tunercat that allow me to get to other sttings in the 730? Like overrun deaccel, timing va vs idle etc etc?

THanks

Seems like they just come and go.

Just to be a PITA.
The 3rd gen at least as a community needs to sit down and develope source code for the 730.

But, immediately the division will start with why the 730, then this and that, and nothing will happen, but it really needs to be done, and then you'll see what power really is. ie make the aftermarkets look like toys. But, I digress.

You don't need a hack for TunerCat...but it helps to have a hack of the ECM (like ANHT_HAC for the 730). You look at the hack and make the changes with TDF Editor, which is available from TC's site.

Are you SERIOUSLY modifying the actual instruction set with "bit twiddles" or are you just modifying the tables? BIG DIFFERENCE. I say this because a few months ago you said you couldn't read source code. You cannot modify the instruction set (safely)with "bit twiddles" if you can't read the code.

If you truely are "bit twiddling" the instruction set, then you are spending a far more time than if you had actual source code.

This is tip from a person that was trained in University in Assembly Language back in the mid 1970s and worked MANY years on many different processors.

2 moths ago i couldnt have told you how to build a op amp driven dis tach output to normailized tach input adpter but i can now.

maybe i got smart took out a heavy reading load and a few college class's. you never know.

well i guess ill stop working on my extra tables and 3 bar support for $8f. you dont need source what you need is just a good DASM from a decent dissasembler and the patientice to follow the routines. its not that hard to add stuff to code. ive been working on learning assembly for over a year but i got serious over the winter. you never know what i know and id like to keep it that way.
even with all the coding skills in the world if you dont gte the conecpt of managing fuel and spark all that code talent is wasted.

So what does that comment have to do Assembly Language? Absolutely nothing. Stick to the topic.

If you are working with a "disassembly", then you are working with SOURCE CODE. Undocumented Source Code, but Source Code none the less. I think you are confusing DOCUMENTING Source Code.

I hope that this is "just a misunderstanding" on your part on what Source Code truely is. If it is written in the programming langauge - then you are working with Source Code.
