Ok so i downloaded it into the desktop,and followed ALL the directions.When i try to open it from the shortcut on the desktop it tells me controller code does not match signature in Megasquirt-II.ini
It then says Expected "MSII Rev2.88600"(found in ini.file)
Recieved"0x51"(from controller)
table couruption could occur
Then it asks if i want to terminate Megatune now,if i click no it will open.Is this because i don't have my ecu hooked up to it or did i do something wrong in setup?
Thanks guys and PLEASE bear with me,i have never delt with any codeing before.

Could you make sure MegaTune is on the right COM port? 0x51 is usually the code it gets if it's on a fake diagnostic port that echoes back every symbol you send it.

I seem to be having port problems with the computer but cant seem to figure it out.when i run the portchecker.exe it comes back 4 available ports but doesn't see the megasquirt-II.I don't have anything else running(no printers or faxes that i can find).Can ya direct me as to where to look to make sure?

TunerStudio might make your life easier, it has a detect built in that filters echo ports and has the automatically sets you up with the right ini file for most current firmwares.

ok i found the com port under settings and sure enough it was set to 3 changed it to com1 and megatune will start no problem but after changing to com1 the box says click to test and i get no response (with the megasquirt hooked up and plugged in).I still am in bootloader mode and haven't gotten any communication with my ECM.

In that case, take it out of bootloader mode.
