This is fantastic. It's slick, smooth and works fine on my shitty laptop lol.

A monumental moment in FME. It's been along time that I've been genuinely excited with anything to do with fruit machine emulation.

Congrats Guitar and thanks to those who helped him get this far with Amber.

Many thanks for this release. The time and effort put into this must have been phenomenal. Congrats to you Guitar and everyone who contributed. Up and running sweet as a nut. Once more THANK YOU

It's a false-negative result from Norton's SONNAR scanner, and can safely be ignored.

I have IS2012, and in that, I went to quarantine, restored the file, and set the option to omit the file from future scans, so looks like you will need to do the same.

Reason why Norton flags this, is because of the way the installer behaves, especially when it drops dll files directly to the windows folder, but I can tell you from my end, the file is safe, and was double checked via the virus total website.

I'm not getting anywhere fast - See attached screen shot

My crappy Norton thinks there is a something up with the installer. After I click install, it appears to do nothing, then the Norton thing comes up.

My Laptops details are quite poor, but here we go:

Dell Studio 1555
Processor Dual Core - T4200 2.00Ghz
3Gb Ram
32 bit Operating System
Vista SP2

May not help know how poor my laptop is.

Whilst I am at it Guitar, would there be any chance of a manual install option at all, so when folks end up with issues like this and to reassure them, and ideally with manual install instructions?

Run the installer and look in the temp folder, you'll see all the files that are installed. the .dll's and .ocx's go into the system32/syswow64 folder (depending32/64bit) the other stuff is purely amber component which get put in the amber folder.

The settings on the launch screen are stored in the registry, along with settings to run multiple instances without overwriting layouts. and that's it.

There may well be a .bat file in there as well but thats not used. You can of course right click it yourself to register the dll's, but the installer calls the regusters internally now, and the bat file isnt used.

I promise there is nothing nasty in the installer or info being collected. Feel free to run it through any reputable antivirus (AVG, Kaspersky, Avast)

Also sorry for the lack of nightly build there has been a hiccup in proceedings.

I hope to release the next build thursday night. I have had to change the way the alpha works as it wasnt displaying correctly. This has required all layouts to have a small update to settings. Ploggy will rerelease BB along with new layouts from Tommy C, and maybe RobinHood75, just as soon as I release the fixed emulator. Any half made layouts should still load up fine, just need to add a couple of new settings in the alpha. Info will be supplied at the relevant time. Also I have been working on the docs, 3 days about 2 hours per day has got me to page 15 so far. Its about half way thru - gulp.

I havent run off and left you all, just a bit busy at the moment. Over the next few days I need someone who is having gfx issues to do some tests for me as I cant find an intel laptop that wont load amber. Speak up please.

Not really where to request this, but is there any chance of a zip with the new files only? Save having to install it everytime.

Thanks!

Thanks for the update. Just tried to load the Club Twister ROMs, and the Layout Wizard seems to have worked without an error this time.

Sadly I don't have a damn clue what do next. Better wait for that documentation

Thanks for the update Stratocaster.

New version is now available, the layout format should now be stable.

Hoppers have been fixed, and the sideart on/off option should now work.

Quick Update, Scorpion 1/2 is now up and running.

Still many loose ends to tie up and the dot matrix display to add, but its running and doing what it should be.
