Problem saving data

JunoMan

When I read an eprom the newest version of the software saves an extra 100 bytes.

I have tried this with a　2732 and 27c010 and the same thing happens,

I am saving the data as a binary .bin file

Re:Problem saving data

Every time,when you save the file,the software save more 100 byte automatically.This is normal,the result is OK.

Re:Problem saving data

This should not happen. It has only started happening recently.

I just installed the 4.2.0 software from 12/3/2009 and it saves the correct file size. I read a 27c512 and it saved it as a 65536 byte size file.

I installed the 4.2.0 from 7/7/2009. (yesterday), and it saved it as a 65636 bytes. (100 bytes more)

If this is correct, can you tell me why this change has been made?

Thanks

Chris

Re:Problem saving data

This is the newest change.The the user save a chip.The file size is more 100 byte than the chip size.Usually,the 100 byte save config byte or other informaiton.There is not any impact on the file.You can operate programmer normal.

Re:Problem saving data

JunoMan

I repair old arcade games and often read the eproms to save the data for use in other programs (emulators). It"s very frustrating that I have to manually remove the extra 100 bytes every time I want to use the binary data I have read.

I also have to do this if I wish to use the identifying functions in the software I use.

Is there anyway to have this as a setting that I can turn off?

Re:Problem saving data

When you download the file in other programmer,you didn"t need to remove the extra 100byte.You can download the file normal.

Can you please add the option to turn off this extra byte save thing? 99% I have to work on the dumps I read. I have to delete always the extra info because many programs telling me that file size is wrong. I would really like the files to be saved exactly as they are, without any extra info. Is it that hard to make this thing selectable as an option in the program"s configuration?

Re:Problem saving data

Besides,if the chip have config information,when the user save the file,there are extra 100 byte also.If the chip didn"t have config information,when the user save file,there are not extra 100byte.Your chip is 27 series chip,they are not have config,so there are not extra 100 byte.

GoodToGo!

The "Latest" software is still not available from the website (as at 13-7-09). I"m having the exact same issues as the guys previous. I"m using a VP-280 and a 27512 EPROM, and when I save a file, the file size is 65636 bytes long, not 65536. This causes issues with programs like winromident. Fingers crossed the next software update fixes this issue.

Cheers.

Re:Problem saving data

I have test our software,there are not any problem.When I save a 27512 file,the size is 65536.

Re:Problem saving data

Is it possible to add this config saving feature as an option? I mean let the user to select if he wants or not to save the extra info. It would be as simple as 1 more option on the "Save buffer to a file" window. Thx

Re:Problem saving data

Usually,When the user want to save a file,if the chip have config,the file will be saved extra 100byte,if the chip didn"t have config,the file will be saved as the chip size,there is not extra 100byte.You chip is 27series chip,it didn"t have confit,the file is chip size.The software will distinguish according to the chip.This is our software internal functions

What if I DO NOT WANT to save any config on any chip I read?

Re:Problem saving data

if the chip is MCU,when the user save file,he had better save the config with the chip other memory together.If not,when the user load the file to programme MCU,he must set config again.The operation will not influence use.So,we didn"t set option alone.

Re:Problem saving data

Helo!
Why you do not save this configuration data into new file with same name plus .cfg extension?... example: test.hex, test.hex.cfg
In this case who don"t wanny this cfg will not use it, who need it program will load this .cfg automaticaly...
Sometimes user need edit or open original file into third party software for editing, simulate, etc and this software check file size.

Re:Problem saving data

For the moment it seems having the config saved together with the bin gives most trouble, not the option from the user side to save it or not ;)

Please download the new software. You can save a specified length file.

Re:Problem saving data

This option does the job but it"s far more complicated than just simply use a checbox for "save config data". I do not know how to say otherwise: "Please add a checkbox at Save window for saving or not config data. Please!"

Re:Problem saving data

Hmmmm....
More than the extra 100 bytes?
Why would it confuse them? Just put its function in the help file and anybody can see what it does.
Just test it as you tested on us the extra 100 bytes. Let"s see will anybody complain?

Re:Problem saving data

Those extra 100 bytes had exist 10 years. It contains useful information for many chips. Our customers had accustomed to its presence.
If you feel that is useless, you can easy to take it off now.

Re:Problem saving data

kisslorand register

I just don"t get it... It"s a nice feature, nobody doubt that, but why won"t you make it as it is in fact, only a feature. People who want to use it should be able to switch on this feature, people who do not want to use it should be able to switch it off. It is like the "Save file" function. Maybe I do not want to save the file I read, than I simply do not press the save file button. It would be frustrateing if the SW would automatically save the file (I hope you never make it this way :) ).
　　I bought the Wellon programmer because I want to work fast, I do not want to edit the file size every time I save a file.All I am asking is just an option to be able to switch on or off this extra byte saving feature.
