using internalidaddress && known internalidstring

meaning i went to the offset using a hex editor and made sure the hex string for the ROM version is there and for some reason Romraider still says there is no XML for my ECU

Yes I have added it to my xml's list but right now I am super confused why it wont find the internalidstring @ internalidaddress

please advise ?

Location: Canada eh!
Try removing the spaces from: <internalidstring>00 73 0A 66</internalidstring>
<internalidstring>00730A66</internalidstring>

From what I could tell RomRaider is looking for the ASCII that is in this hex region not the actual hex?

in the BMW binary the hex string is actually the software version and reads out with periods when converted to ASCII .. any way around that?

I've temporarily got a work around by reading a HW version string that has ASCII characters that can parse

This is the new xml I have been working with which is working on but in an ideal deployment of these mappings I would like to read the hex string at the internalidaddress rather than the text conversion of that string

From what I could tell RomRaider is looking for the ASCII that is in this hex region not the actual hex?

in the BMW binary the hex string is actually the software version and reads out with periods when converted to ASCII .. any way around that?

I've temporarily got a work around by reading a HW version string that has ASCII characters that can parse

The internalidstring in the definition is ASCII (as you noted), so you need to find a byte or two that can be represented by readable ASCII. The ECUID (not used by the RR Editor) is hex. The ECUID is the ID spit out by the ident command when logging the ECU. This is used to "lookup" the CALID (aka internalidstring) from the definition. That is how the RR Logger identifies the CALID at the bottom right of the window.
The XMLID is used by the RR Logger to read table info from a definition when reporting Learned Table Values. Different ECUIDs can often related back to the same CALID as the calibration is modified over time.

One of the bytes becomes a period like .

and then a letter / number

when i use the period RR fails to parse the information properly and I have to use some other SUPER specific ASCII characters as I have not noticed a trend yet for software versions being A standard on BMW DME's by Bosch during this time of life

Hi, did you make the correct RomRaider definition file for bosch me7.2 bmw?
