Sorry its been a while, I've been very busy.

 

The server has had a queue system added to prevent threading issues writing save states to wrong places.

State files are now compressed to reduce bandwidth and transfer time.

Old Challenges have been removed and paid out.

3 New Challenges have been added.

 

Server is back up and running, but you will need the latest version to access it.

 

 

There are no new CPU emulations in this build yet, its all coming eventually, but at least the server is back up and running.

 

@jamesy4. See your PM's for login info.

@sturthrt - Sounds like either the XChange or Whatever layout loads before that has become corrupt. Try re-downloading the pad files and see if it gets any further.

 

 

As for laptops getting hot, it will get fairly hot as Amber tends to max out a single cpu core. Once the new C++ cores are implemented this should become much less of an issue. But the laptop is designed to deal with it, just make sure it has decent air flow underneath.

The server is down. A power cut overnight has lost the entire db as it has corrupted the db file.

 

I'll need to re-add all the machines, challenges and players. I was due to do some server updates anyway so I may take this opportunity to redo a couple of things.

 

It will be back up again by the end of the weekend, and could be even sooner than that with a little luck.

 

I will keep you posted with progress.

Thanks for the update Guitar. sorry to hear about the power cut, hope you will be able to sort out the damage. A UPS is handy when you live out in the 'sticks', but bloody expensive!!!!!
