Tyrone Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I have an old Megajolt which runs on version 2.0.3 MJLJ software with needs the Java COMM API installed and configured. I've recently changed the carbs on my 1.8l Zetec silver top and would like to look at the map, but I don't have the software loaded on to my current laptop. I can see the V2.0.3 software, but I can't find any of the Java software I need for the serial port support. These are the instructions I had, but none of the links work: Install Serial Port support (Java COMM API) You need to download Sun java 1.4.2 from the sun site – www.java.com. You then need to transfer the following files to the directories shown. These 3 files are in the commapi directory in the “Megajolt java stuff” folder. For windows, download: Java Comm for Windows. - Copy comm.jar to c:Program FilesJavaj2re1.4.2_04lib - Copy javax.comm.properties to c:Program FilesJavaj2re1.4.2_04lib - Copy win32com.dll to c:Program FilesJavaj2re1.4.2_04bin The megajolt software is a java applet. You start it by double clicking the MJLJtune – 2.0.3.JAR file. Any help greatly received, keep it simple though, I'm no IT expert! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mankee Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 It's been a long, long, long time since I messed around with Java, certainly before the Oracle/Sun merger. If you need Java 1.4.2 for your MegaJolt, I would start with that. Looks like you might be able to download it below: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/archive-139210.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonboylaw Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Why not mail Brent P at autosportlabs and ask if he has a copy, else post up on the user forum there. Earliest version I have is 3.x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrone Posted October 16, 2012 Author Share Posted October 16, 2012 J, I've registered on the forum and put a post up, but it doesn't look like it is hugely populated. I will send Brent an email. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrone Posted October 16, 2012 Author Share Posted October 16, 2012 I've had a response from Brent already pointing me in the direction of 3.0.0 configuration software. I just need to see if my laptop picks up the serial cable and the Megajolt tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonboylaw Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 If your laptop has a serial port then you should be fine and dandy. If you need to use a USB to serial then you will need to read up on the correct one to get. I was lucky with mine, worked 1st time once I had set the COM port correctly. Top fella is Brent.

OliverSedlacek Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Try V3 of the Megajolt software as that's compatible with V2. It works for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
