Thank you for your continued support and work on this most magnificent remake. Your dedication is a real inspiration.

One question: I started the game on 1.6.4 and would like to continue my savegame. Is there trouble to be expected if I use my savegame from 1.6.4 in this new version 1.6.5?

Thank you again!

Hi, thanks for your kind words. No the savegames stay always compatible. The only thing that might be a problem is switching savegames between the original (the first two options in the version selector) and the advanced game (the last two options in the version selector). But if you stick to the same selection, everything is fine regardless of the current game version. ;)

Perfect, thank you. I only just finished the original Ambermoon (in WinUAE) some months ago but your version is just such an enhancement on so many levels I just started another playthrough last week. :)

Very cool. This summer Ambermoon Advanced will also get a huge update with much new content and surprises. Maybe this is worth another playthrough. ;)

I'll definitively stay tuned! :)

Something didn't work unfortunately: I copied my savegames from 1.6.4 to the 1.6.5 folder. Now only the savegames up to savegame number 10 are available for loading. The others are blank. I checked for the additional savegames but they are activated. It's as if it doesn't import them.

edit: I helped myself by saving the latest game on a savegame position lower than number 10 in 1.6.4 and imported the savegame folder again in 1.6.5. I don't know what it was but at least now I have my savegame back.

Yes, sorry. The savegame slots above 10 are stored inside the config file “ambermoon.cfg”. If this file is inside the game’s folder you have to copy it over as well to get all the save slots.

I think the best way to update a version is copying the new files over. In general it is enough to copy the main executable Ambermoon.net.exe over to your existing installation. This way you keep your config and saves.

Ah ok, I understand. Thank you for the information!
