got it working now some1 gave me some bad advice but cant get the games up it comes up blank layouts

Small thing, but with the manual update could it be put in a zip with the components file in a /components folder? That way you can just unzip it directly into the program files\project amber folder.

I get run-time error 380 invalid property value when trying to play aladdin or criss cross crazy but i can play blues brothers ok

Are you using v1.0111?

Roms. Having them unzipped. 3 layouts released and it's already getting messy. And some roms will have the same names even though they're different.

Can zip support be added?

Thanks,

or even a sub folder structure where each folder contains the layout, roms and sound for that particular game

If the roms are in the .dat then it should have a unique CRC and name.

Not sure if it'll help, but you appear to be running an older version than the current one - maybe upgrading / installing the latest version will help.

What are your compatible monitor resolutions, mate? Make sure that the resolution you set is as same as the one you're currently using. I set mine to 1440x900, because that's the resolution my monitor is currently set to.

Of course.......otherwise then ther dat wouldn't know which set it belonged to, if it didn't check the crc also.

Doh, sorry.

Sorry to bug you all again but are there instructions on what you do with the files once you have downloaded the game? Or is it the same as what you would of done on MFME put them all into one file?

Also what do you do to load the game on Amber?


I have tried to have a play around with it and to be honest haven't got a clue
Thanks in advance Brad.
