Trouble with downloading TIU update

markermarkerOGR Forum Member

I think I'm having a problem because I don't have a serial port on my computer.

 

I have been successful using a USB to serial adapter for other programs that claimed to sometimes not work with such an adapter.  I was hoping the MTH DCS loader would also work, but the MTH loader can't find the TIU.

 

Any ideas?

 

That said, MTH has done so many things to have a good operating system, why haven't they updated the website to make it easier to use without the blockage etc due to expired certificates.  One of my web browsers wouldn't let me get to the download.

Marker, these tips were added to my website PS2 Upgrade Section .

 

This MTH website should be consulted for the latest information.  http://www.protosound2.com/ DCS News .  Note the DCS Loader information for downloading sound files.  (A Windows Vista computer will NOT install sound files without the msvbvm50.dll file.)


The Downloader gives you estimated programming time.  Double that time when using a pre-TIU REV.L with the MCT Corp. USB to RS232 adapter (with the latest driver).


The upgrade kit instruction book is black and white.  It's very helpful to download the color copy from the mthtrains.com website.  At mthtrains.com click on the Product Search box and enter Item #50-1901 for the Steam Upgrade Kit or Item #50-1902 for the Diesel Upgrade Kit, then click on book symbol for the color copy.

Well, I received the serial card today installed it and proceeded to upgrade a 1st gen TIU and Remote.  I have the latest version TIU but thought the old one would help out along the way.  I also wanted to be able to use the 2nd remote and so the update was necessary.

 

After the card was installed, all went easily.

 

Looking forward to PS3 upgrade kits to be released!

 

Thanks all for the help offered!
