Re: DB Editor for Nova 8
The was this issue that user data files "v8nova_db_sysdata.bin" from 20180719 and 20180625 and later will not load into the Editor.
I have not tried the new software for use with the editor yet.

Once you have edited you can upgrade again.

Re: DB Editor for Nova 8
You could load the edited file in the old software and then "Main code" upgrade to the new.
I must look at the two file and see the differences in a Hex editer.

Re: DB Editor for Nova 8
Hi
I saved my user data file from both the older software 20180621 and the new software 20181119.
The difference is that they have added 16 bytes of extra data to each satellite in the file.
The DB Editor does not load this new format.
You can see the that line 00000070 in the "NEW" lower file has these extra hex values, all zero.
The "OLD" file above does not have these extra hex values.
This means there are 16 extra hex values per satellite on your sat list.
The other values for TP and Channel info are then pushed further down the list by 16 hex values per sat on your list.

Re: DB Editor for Nova 8
So in conclusion this DB Editor cannot be used by Nova 8, please tell GT Media to do something about it, thank you.
Re: DB Editor for Nova 8
Is there an editor for the V8 Nova Orange that can edit PIDs?
