Assuming you are not using a VM, change memory setting to "Default".

Not sure why you are FDL Coding though, as you need to Edit FA and VO Code as I worte, and VO Coding does not require E-Sys Launcher.
Hi. Thanks for the help! Finally I made it work. Yes, I tried the VM but it was way too slow. So installed the Esys having famous PSDZData.dll can't find dependencies (something like that). So updated VCredist with latest x64 and x86 installations and it worked. Then what I did I went to the KOMBI L7_MID>3008 PIA_Einheiten and changed SPRACHE to uk (0x01). Since NBT was in in English already I didn't touch it. The best part, after that change I'm now able to change languages in the NBT to Chinese or Russian, and it works both for cluster and the NBT! Even before Carly screwed the cluster language I was able to set only Latin based languages (English, Italian, Spanish, German) but it wasn't taking Chinese or Russian. Not sure what's changed, probably the whole configuration has been corrected when coded back, some binary inconsistencies, who knows. But it's all working now! Was much easier than I thought. Thanks for the help again.

HI

I have few questions about esys backups.

I made FDL Coding, before that i saved FA and SVT and I thought that are my backups. Now I read that to revert my changes I've should save CAFD NCD files after reading coding data.

That's procedure I've found:
Restore .NCD:
Connect => Read FA (VO) => Activate FA (VO) => Read SVT (VCM) => Right-Click CAFD File => Select New FDL => Navigate to C:\ESysData\CAF and select matching .NCD file => Left-Click on Inserted CAFD => Select FDL Code.


1)So now my question is, can I do something with FA or SVT files to restore my changes without CAFD (.NCD)? Or maybe I Can load SVT and then code it somehow?

2)I have one NCD file in E-sys CAF folders, but this data is before FDL coding (automatic backup?) or it's overwritten file by me?


Edit: I don't want to VO code whole module, because i made some changes before that i want to keep.

If you want to backup modified .ncd files (post FDL Coding), simply read ECU Coding Data after FDL Coding, and copy the corresponding ECU .ncd file from C:\Data\CAF to backup location.

If your plan to do so though is so you can restore FDL Coding if ECU is upgraded via programming, I would not do so as if dealer programs the car, ECU will get a new CAFD, and restoring backed up coding data from old CAFD "A" into new CAFD "B" is not wise. They may not be aligned.

Why bother anyway, when you can recode car in 10 minutes.

If i knew it before that backups are in NCD files there were be no question. I thought SVT are backups, my bad. Now i have corresponding .NCD but I'm not sure if that appeared in esys folder after changes or before i made them. Can I check it somehow? "Read coding data" creates NCD or I created it by saving my changes?

The problem is I forgot what i coded 6mths ago . During this period was no ECU upgrade, so I assume restoring data from NCD is safe.

Saved FA is backup of Vehicle Order (e.g. Build Date, Type Code, Option Codes, etc.)

Saved SVT is back of installed ECU's and their Hardware and Firmware versions.

Any time you Read Coding Data from an ECU, it creates a fresh .ncd file which contains all current ECU Coding, whatever that may be. So long as ECU has not been updated with a newer CAFD file, then restoring coding data from a backed up .ncd file.

You can Open .ncd is in E-Sys FDL Editor, and spot check it to see if it contains your FDL Code changes or not.

Thank You!

That FDL Editor clarified me everything. It's modified .ncd, so I can assume that saving changes overwrite created earlier .ncd.

Thanks for explanation.

Sean, would you be kind enough to send the latest ESys package. I'm now a couple of years out of date.
Also, which F-series data set is used for a 2021 F40 M135i car?
Thank you.

Hi guys,

I am new to Esys coding. I used NCS expert for E series, but planning to buy G31 and I want to have same ability to do small changes.

1) I have problem with Launcher. I have MAC and I virtualise WIN1903 via parallels.
E-Sys_Setup-3.27.1_RC_b44813
E-Sys Launcher PRO 2.8.2_Build_162b BFU Edition
ESysLauncherPremiumSetup_2.8.2_Build_155
PSDZDATA 4.27.22

I did all installation but when I run Launcher Preminum, it did not start at all.
I figured ou that for virtualisation I need Launcher PRO.
All is good until providing password and activating. App falls down and when I want to open activation window again it falls down.
Do you have any clue what could be the issue?
I have installed JAVA 8, C++ version 2010 x86/64, WIN 20H2 and nothing helped.

I have read that there is version 3.x to use, but TM has disappeared and don't know how to activate it.

2) does any of you any have cheat sheet for G31?

3) if I mess anything with car. Will I be able to return back with backed up ECUs?

4) If I talk only about coding ECUs, is Bimmercode good alternative with same options (especially expert mode)?

Thank you for any help.

Michal

Launcher PRO does NOT support VM use anymore than Launcher PREMIUM does. With MAC, you need to use Bootcamp or VMWare VM with modified .vmx file.

Cheat Codes are built into E-Sys Launcher.

I can't comment on "mess anything with car". That would depend on what if anything got messed up. Generally speaking, if just coding, it can always be set back to factory just by VO Coding.

I also can't comment on Bimmercode. I don't use it myself.

Thank you Shawn! really appreciate what you do here.

OK, I will have to use my wife's laptop

Just to confirm - to fix via VO coding you mean remove VO and add it back. right?
for that I need full version od PSDZData, don't I?
What version of Esys and Launcher would you recommend?

Thank you.

I mean VO Code the ECU using original unmodified FA. Full needed ONLY for flashing. I use LE-Sys 3.27.1 and Launcher PRO 2.8.2 for FDL Coding.

Hi Shawn -- would you mind sending me the most current Esys and psdzdata info? I have an F30 that I'd like to code.

Using what I've found around the web seems to tell me that 3.27.1 is the "best" version to use, but that with a newer psdzdata results in an error in KisAlAdapater "Unsupported major.minor version 52.0", which I guess means that was compiled against Java 8 and we depend on Java 7 for Esys 3.27.1.

**Update**

The above error is the result of running Esys Launcher in a VM. There are published workarounds that require using VMware (not VirtualBox) and editing the .vmx file for your VM. In a VM, Esys is a bit slow and requires slightly more effort to get functioning, so it's recommended not to use a VM unless you are pretty comfortable with what that may entail.

I'm posting this here in hopes I can post a reply once I get figured out to help others, in case they run into the same. :-)

Thanks!
I FDL Code with E-Sy s3.27.1 and latest PSdZData. PM sent.
