Getting "Corrupt BIN" msgs in TunerCat...
Getting "Corrupt BIN" msgs in TunerCat...
Does anyone know of a $6E BIN for an L98, 3.07 axle, manual transmission??? (Corvette)
I was hoping the ABTP was good; but TunerCat says the BIN I d/l'd from ftp://ftp.diy-efi.org/pub/gmecm/bins/ is either corrupt or a $32 BIN...But when I try APTP 32.BIN, with $32 code, that same msg comes up again...WTF???
This is version 1.73, with v5.4 form library...

I will assume you have the proper TDFs to read a $6E or $32.
Load the BIN into the Windows Pocket Programm and hit "edit Buffer". Look at location x'0008 and it will tell you which calibration it is, if it's a MAF or SD bin. It doesn't work for other variants of GM Bins, but if its $6E, it will say "6E" at location x'0008, or "32" if it's a $32 or "8D" if its a $8D.
BTW, wha'ts the size of the BIN?

It *will* open and display my AMJ and AARL BINs.
My plan here was to disable my '86 Vette cold-fire injector, load the $6E BIN most close to my setup (axle & trans wise), and see how close it was...
I've been told the $6E code is better than the $32...
I'm looking to see if that's true...

Grab another copy. I have heard from some people that if they use the wrong TunerCat TDF to open a file, that it will cause this corruption problem. I cannot confirm that.
But, since you want a $6E, then just look a little more and read it with Windows PP to ensure it is an $6E, and then open it to see what it is.

Tried to open the Constant Table...And I get *some* kind of table opening up about one foot to the left of my monitor...I can just see the edge of it...
Something is screwed up...I'll have to start all over; download TC again, load the new def files, download new BINs, etc...
Thanks for your time!

Just another $0.02- I've noticed that if I close tunercat with the "X" at the top right it will give me diff. error messages a while after that, and I'll have to reinstall it to clear the problem; if I close it off of the toolbar top left "files" and then exit, then it works fine.

BTW: Will the $32 def files work on $32b BINs???
Maybe I have the wrong def file for what I'm trying to do...I didn't see any distinction at GMECM/BIN_LIB between $32 and $32B...Although the $6E had its own section...
TC from TunerCat just emailed me...The fix for my problem with both the $6E and $8D BINs/def files was to -
"Next go to the Tuner subdirectory using Windows
Explorer and delete the file names 'Catstuner.ini' and
then try running the program.
If you still get the strange display with the $6E
Definition Files, select 'Preferences' from the
'Options' menu and set the '# Columns in Drop-Down
List Column' to 99 and see if that takes care of the
problem."
I did still get the strange display problem, but increasing the # of columns did the trick!!! I can open/edit $32, $6E, and $8D BINs with v1.73 now...
...Even ones from ftp://ftp.diy-efi.org/pub/gmecm/bin_lib/1227165 32 32B 6E 94/ ...(Except for $32B BINs, which I don't know how to identify except by trial & error)...
So it would seem it's the default preferences which conflict with my settings and give the strange error msgs.
Thanks to all who responded!
