I get - The component pack installed is too old, please upgrade it. then - Runtime error '9' subscript out of range.

[Guitar]

Have you installed the latest version of the emu?

Did you use the manual method or the installer method?

If you used the installer did you run it as admin?

Easiest way to fix it is to download the "manual install" pack and copy the components.cpf file in the pack to the Project Amber > Components folder.

But please answer all the above questions as there may well be a bug I need to fix.

Run Time Error '380'

Invalid property value

[Guitar]

Ok new standard procedure guys. As well as just telling me an error number/name. Can you also state when the error happens, and what you were trying to do at the time.

So is it crashing on startup, or after you click apply launch, what graphics settings were you using, does it load the emu ok but crash loading a layout? Were you in the editor changing a setting. Did you click something from the menu and it crashed.

I'm happy to help out guys but give me something to work with.

[DildoDez]

Happens after selecting a game and a profile, then clicking "play"

On another note, the emulator reports the program and sound roms as "missing" - even though they are in the correct folders?

[Guitar]

What version of the emu are you using, what layout are you loading?

The sound and program rom detection is a bit broken atm, its been put on the backburner to get more important things finished. I'll take a look, but for now just ignore that.

Any reason why you arent using the on screen game select?

[DildoDez]

V1.0109
Ploggy's Blues Brothers Layout.
None at all - however the result is the same when i use the on screen game select.

Latest version, installer run as Admin,
Sits at loading screen until I Alt +Tab then see the errors.

Hmm ok I think there is a bug in the installer go into project amber folder, then components folder, delete components.cpf, then run the installer again.

I'll make sure the installer is fixed for v10111

Hi there

When I load version 1.10 I just get a black screen
Am I doing something wrong?

[ady]

Guitar I got further with this version than the last...

HAL I still get several errors, but when I select REF the emulator give's the the loading message but after 5-6 second's I hear a Microsoft 'ping' (as in an error) and it just hangs.

Weird thing is, I have it set to 800x600 and my screen is 1280x1024 and it does go full-screen by default, I took a screenie (as attached) and it pasted to paint as a 800x600 image..............so I am wondering if theres something making the image bigger than the Emu was set to --------- therefore my error ping noise?

Ad, try it out of 'Full Screen' mode. Using the FS mode will make things tricky if you get an error.

Just unticked 'full-screen' and get this now bud

Full shot so you can see it's @ 800x600 at least now.

At least the error is now visible. I'm sure Guitar will know the reason why the error is occurring, mate. Just need to wait until he gets to see it.

Not on the best of systems, but it should (as having read other's specs) run it.

I have made a few screen recordings of what I do and get, just trying to find a converter that'll reduce the size where as you said Guitar will sort it.

An actual screenie vid I hope will be a lot more helpful that me just saying "I get this or that".....things can be misread i'm sure and may create work for guitar that needn't be done.

Thanks to you too ploggy for assisting.

Hmmm that message usually means that one or more of the dll/ocx files didnt install properly I think.

Do you have directx 9.0c installed?

If you run the project amber installer it makes a folder called temp.

In temp folder you will find COMDLG32.ocx, bass.dll, dx8vb.dll, and zlibwapi.dll. Make sure there is a copy of all 4 of them in your c:\windows\system32 folder. Then run the file in the temp folder called InstBat. Instbat will bring up some error messages even if it works correctly so just click ok to get past them. Then try and run the emu again.


Have you tried different combinations of Intel enabled/disabled and hardware/software processing? (Tickboxes in graphics options).

Yes buddy, tried all combo's (I think), as I said to ploggy's thread mabey a visual would be better or more 'creator friendly' than me just trying to say 'this 'n that'.

Just off now, but i'll try what you said tomorrow mate and reply.

Re dx, Yup 9 is in and has been from the start .

Cheers guitar for still ironing out all these little gripes.........there's only a few of us that are still having grief as I read it.
