Thanks, working fine for me.

Is it just me or is only the 10p/arcade version working?

You need to upgrade to the latest version of Project Amber to remove this bug. http://www.fruit-emu...mber-installer/

I am having some real issues now, basically after the initial log in screen has laoded all that i get is a very small box (as if i have cropped the program down to the size of a penny) and there is an x button to close it & the word libaries,so i figured i'll uninstall amber and reinstall but once reinstalled the same thing happens, so i guess my question is how to you fully uninstall it (as it doesnt appear to have an uninstaller and is not shown in program files)

p.s i tried to add a print screen but the site came up with some error message !"

By the sounds of it you need to set your graphics resolution. Load up the emulator and click "Graphics Options" on the Launch screen. then make sure a resolution has been set (bottom right hand side).

Well I didn't expect things to be quite this good so soon, now I understand why Guitar waited longer to get things sorted, because this is bang tidy brilliant, I've only had 5 minutes to mess around as I'm short on time this evening, but i'm seriously impressed, love the mux strobing and love the BAF LAF slider, the implementation of it is genius and it works brilliantly. I can't quite put my finger on it yet, but the emulation feels more alive, feels more real compared to MFME, and I don't think this is just a side effect of the lamp features.

Cracking work lads, thanks so much for this, i'm looking forward to getting my head around all of this and doing a layout of my own

Excellent release, as always Ploggy mate, and an extra special one because it is the first for Amber.

Both you and Guitar should feel proud of yourselves to have let this happen now.

[fuzion]

Its fairly impressive guys.... great layout, nice lamp flickering etc... I really can't stand The Blues Boys though, its not a great machine. Please someone do Sinbad.

A step by step guide to running this layout for anyone still having problems.

1. Ensure you have installed Amber, and that it is working on your computer
2. Make sure that Amber is closed and not running
3. Download ploggy's release file
4. Unzip the ROM folder, and the Layout folder
5. Navigate to the install directory you selected when you installed Amber. For me the path is Computer > Local Disk (C:) > Program Files (x86) > Project Amber. YOURS MAY WELL BE DIFFERENT. I am using Windows 7 64-bit, and I used the defult pathway when installing Amber.
6. Open the Libraries folder. In there you will see 2 sub-folders - called Layouts and ROMs. There is a 3rd called Graphics which you do not need to use.
7. Take the ROM files (every single one of them) and move them into the ROMs folder mentioned in Step 6.
8. Take the Layout file and move it into the Layouts folder mentioned in Step 6.
9. Run Amber
10. Go to Libraries (the top left option on the Amber interface)
11. Click Game Library
12. Under the Names section in the table, you should see Blues Boys listed. Highlight it.
13. The Profiles table will now populate. You then select which of the 3 settings to play. Then click the Play button below the table.
14. The layout should now launch, and you are ready to play. Use the F3 button to auto-resize the layout if required.

If it still doesn't work, then you're doing something far wrong!

Wow, stunning layout Ploggy, thank you.

[Sasq123]

Very nice layout, yeah what somebody said..i dont really like the machine play but looks great idd...great stuff

[Bandits]

Don't know why i can't play or even see the layout after adding the rom and layout files to the folders mentioned? followed instructions carefully even installed the latest amber file.

I've tried adding the rom files to the rom folder left zipped, also tried adding the rom files unzipped and tried just unzipping the files and just adding the rom files without the folder, tried the same with the layout folder.

will down load the roms and layout again.

tried again but when i run amber i see no layouts in the the game library folder.

anyone else having problems?
