Tunerpro use with J4J1 and F3/Ostrich

Post by desmo01 »

Gents,

Do I need to pad standard binary? My standard binary is 56k, what do I need to do to do to the .bin files to use my emulator and the F3?

To pad a 56k bin file to increase the size of it to 64k you need to insert 8192 bytes of null data at the start of the bin. You can use a hex editor to do this, HDD Software's HexEditor v2.0 is good for this with an 'insert' function.

Ok, I think I got it to 64k. Is null data 00 or FF?

Either, but I personally always overwrite the 0x00 with 0xFF as 'good housekeeping' because this is an NOP instruction for the processor.

I ended up digging through the eectuning forum and figured out how to do it with TunerPro. Looks like it puts in FF, worked great.

Thank you very much for the help!!
