I thought v1.17 was the latest !? I'm currently using / testing that version.
However, is there a slight chance that I could get some older version to (partly) work !?!
(there was some kind of modification of the AM_XX (?) files on version 1.14 ...??! )

If booting from the floppy disk A; the installer program doesn't start correctly.
If trying to run the installation program on WB; the installer program
doesn't detect (floppy) disk changes correctly.
I tried to do the install manually; but I think it maybe would be better
to use the game's own installer.

Well, I can't update the v1.17 English yet, could I ?!
I'm currently just beginning the game, so my save game state is not so important -yet- (on grandpa's cellar ).
I kind of completed the game (English v1.07) years ago; but I think I missed a lot of game content then; there were some areas that didn't work completely; for example.
The English version also had some severe bugs then; but generally it did run on my old
040 system those days.
I remember You and some others helping me to progress in Ambermoon then; thanks once again !

So one could update the older WHDload install by just copying the files of the most recent Pyrcador fix over the existing ones; and replace the slave file ..?!

Ok I know, but to be honest; I have already contacted Pyrcador
and declared my interest to help with the project(-s)
Ambermoon & Ambermoon Advanced!
I thought I maybe could help a little bit with play testing, at least.
I also have plenty of ideas for updating / improving the game.
Btw, I also think the remake of Amberstar is a great idea!

However, I'm not a programmer; although I'm very interested in
programming, too; and have some basic knowledge.

Pyrcador himself suggested me to maybe start a thread regarding
Ambermoon (Advanced) English version, here on the EAB.
I gave him some info about my problems with the game.
