crome is basically the 'open source' version of hondata (s200 system at least). They both run on the concept of chipped ecus. The hondata box is mostly for datalogging more than anything.
Nothing tunes it self. If you don't know what you're doing, your better off going to a shop that dyno tunes and has stuff for hondas like crome or hondata for you to buy and tune right there.

yes, you'll need a romulator to due to the tune (ostrich is popular) and a chip burner to burn the final map (burn1 is popular) and of course you'll need to have the socketed ecu (which it sounds like you already have). moates.net has those items.
You'll also need a wideband and the program to tune it on your latptop and knowledge of what you're going so you don't blow the car up.

If you don't really know what you're doing or is going to have someone else do the tune, a shop should be able to do everything for you.Read over Phearable.net - Electronic Fuel Injection Tuning Solutions - Hondata, Neptune, Crome, Uberdata, Ectune, AEM, Honda Tuning, Widebands, Fuel Pumps, Intercoolers, Turbos, LS/VTEC, ECU Chipping, Chipped Ecus, P28 it will explain 99% of what you are asking.
Concerning taking it to a professional, I highly recommend it!

BUT with a chipped ECU on Crome and some datalogging tools, a wideband and knowledge one could tune a car better than stock?
This depends on the application.
Lets say some one has a completely stock d16y8 1997 civic ex with no modifications, the stock ecu does a very good job, however if the person added headers/intake/exhaust and tuned the car using a tunable ecu they would yield better results then the stock ecu.
As an end user, by the time you buy the hardware to tune a car on crome with, you would be much better off with a better software solution like Hondata S300 or Neptune RTP etc.
