SOLUTION: Emulator issues when using other software(s)...

JaredKaragen · Post by **JaredKaragen** » Fri Jun 03, 2011 10:10 pm

I had a problem in the past; using the ostrich reset utility and whatnot to use another vendor's software. To set things right, I did some testing and these are my results. I myself had problems, and was basically stranded over 250 miles from my house on a tuning house-call. I ended up having to tune my car on CROME to get home. Since then, I noticed odd bugs when trying to use CROME while a eCtune ostrich SerialID was present on the ostrich (not \"FF\"'s). Throughout the last two tuning jobs, I came up with this procedure and I havent had any issues at all. I also have seen an issue where you can upload to the emulator once or twice, then it gets timeout errors when trying to communicate, though I could use EMUtility to do uploads outside of CROME and keep tuning. But it would require a save, then application switch to upload. Using this exact method I was able to successfully retain my SerialID and not use the ostrich reset utility to use CROME. First things first, load eCtune. Go to Emulator info, and click the \"Reset\" button. Disconnect from emulator. Close eCtune. Open CROME. Open ROM. Activate RTP menu. Use \"Put\" Command. Successful upload. When all finished with CROME: **CLOSE RTP MENU** Close CROME. open eCtune. Open Emulator Info pane. Click \"Request Lic.\" at bottom. Success. Others please test and verify =) if all is good I suggest a sticky.

When you use the \"request license\" function, I thought it dispatch'd a email requesting a license?

semi-false. your pc does not need to be online... i believe it uses your license file to validate. very seamless feature if you make sure to disconnect and reconnect to hardware in sequence.

Just bringing this to the top to show other users thinking they need two emulators.; good idea to sticky.

i wouldnt post it otherwise. I have been tuning on CROME and using eCtune on my own car for years like this with no issues, on the same emulator. just follow the steps I posted when switching to and from ectune.
