Project Amber Developer
Posted 14 May 2014 - 02:17 AM
Well its steady but slow progress at the moment. I've managed to let a fair few bugs slip by and I'm still learning how to use C++ properly.
I've now got Smash n Grab to the stage where its doing writes to the peripherals, without crashing the dll 
Tomorrow will hopefully see at least some life on the alpha. I've at least got some of the debug tools hooked in now so I can see whats going on for the most part.

Basically you need two images off image (background) and on image, these are set to 2 different layers, there are extra layers that you can dabble with for extra effects but you don't need to worry about those yet, but they are a particularly useful solution when it comes to complicated and hindered lamping.
Is the emulator running the roms?
Do you see an alpha?
Do you see yellow flashing lamp boxes?

You might need to change the order you load the roms. Instead of loading them P1, then P2, try and load them P2 then P1.

What is the name of the machine you're trying to do? Does it need setting up in the configuration window?

Hmm. Can you see the lamp boxes in edit mode? Can you see the reels, segs and alpha display? If not, make sure they're not set to 'Invisible' in the options. Set everything to 'Visible'.

Try with no artwork, it can be added later anyway. Can you see a verical yellow line in edit mode? If not the machine size might not be set correctly. Also try pressing F3 to cycle through different screen sizes - see if that makes a difference.
