Differences between EcmSpy 1.x and EcmSpy 2.0?

What are the differences between the new version of EcmSpy and the older version?

My ECM cable uses the Prolific chipset and seems to only work with the older version. I could buy a new cable, but before I plunk down for a second cable and the license for EcmSpy 2 I'm wondering: What am I missing out on with the old version?

Depending on exactly what you're asking, I messed with my '03 XB9s all the time with ECMSpy. Dabbled around with the tuning guides here, Megalog and VE Analyzer, it was easy as pie. Bike's midrange really fattened up.

I just picked up an '08 XB12s, got my ECM 2.0 clearance to tweak it. All I've done so far is save the EEPROM and drop the idle some, but I have noticed that the EEPROM stuff isn't saved as a .txt file.

I grabbed a map setup to eyeball for ideas and I can't get it to load into my 'Spy. There's an option to convert from .txt in 'spy, but the file I have is apparently from a different generation ECM than mine. Lots more hoops to jump through with the new stuff so far, but I may just not know the tricks. I just loaded it up a couple nights ago. Sorry I'm not more help. =\


I'm also still using the cable I got from xopti a few years ago. Besides some error message that pops up everytime I open 'Spy, it all seems to work fine. Something about missing drivers from some .DLL thing.
