EMU Black stores a tune as an XML project export (*.xml.emub3). The raw integers
in the file are not the numbers EMU shows — every symbol has its own scaling,
and the airflow tables in particular have a notorious 0.5-per-count trap. This skill
teaches the model the file format, the per-symbol scaling, the DBW airflow↔TPS math,
and how to rewrite values without corrupting them.
Attach: your tune export, the readable one whose name contains .xml.emub3
(not the binary .emub3 that starts with PK).

I'm attaching an EMU Black XML tune export (filename contains .xml.emub3). It's an
XML project: <symbol> elements carry space-separated UPPERCASE hex in their `data`
attribute, row-major (width = columns, height = rows).
Decode the symbol(s) I ask about into the values EMU actually displays. Apply these
scaling rules unless you can prove otherwise from the file:
- Airflow-% TARGET tables (ubyte: idleActiveAirflow, idleArmedAirFlow, idleCrankingDC,
cyclingIdleAirflow): display = raw × 0.5. (raw 0x5A=90 → 45%.)
- TPS / airflow-% axis bins (word): display = raw × 0.1.
- RPM, MAP/kPa (word): × 1. Mass airflow g/s axes (word): × 0.1 — NOT a %.
- Fuel correction tables (crankingCorrTbl, aseTbl, warmupTbl): × 1 (direct %).
- Signed types (sbyte/sword) print as sign + hex magnitude, e.g. -4B = -75.
The single biggest trap: "airflow" means two unrelated things — DBW airflow %
(throttle target, 0–~110%) and mass airflow g/s. Never mix them.
DBW airflow↔TPS: TPS% = floor + (airflow%/100) × (ceiling − floor), where
[floor, ceiling] = [idleDBWTargetMin, idleDBWTargetMax] (word ×0.1). Read those two
symbols from the file before any airflow reasoning — do not assume them.
Before proposing ANY edit: pick one cell, show raw × scale, and ask me to confirm it
matches EMU's display. If it doesn't, stop and re-derive the scale. Never guess on a
table conversion — show the full per-cell back-calculation first, then any trim as a
separate deliberate step. Editing `data` makes the file's checksums stale (EMU
recomputes on import). This is a real engine: clamp to each type's range, work on a
copy, and tell me the display values to re-verify in EMU before I start it.
Tell me which symbol(s) you want, and what change I'm after.Full skill source: skills/emu-black-tune/SKILL.md
