General update

I've receieved a very high volume of emails over the weekend which will take until wednesday to clear. Please don't re-send emails and I'll respond asap.

Software and ebook unlocks

From now on please everyone use the software and code request form on the gw site. If you send codes via email, it makes managing requests time consuming for me.

Blog calls tomorrow

I wont be available tomorrow (Thursday) from midday onwards. I'll next be available this upcoming Monday. Before I leave though I'll be up to date on all emails and unlocks etc provided requests are sent before 11am my time.

Ebook issue solved

All ebook issues appear to be solved now, which includes the automated locking which was caused by a paranoid security feature. But before I unlock any ebooks for you, first delete the old ebooks, and download the new. Then if the software gives you a new unlock code, send it to me for unlocking. Sorry for the inconvenience but at least it now appears to be solved.

Ebook: navigation cancelled error

The programmer suggested: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/crminthefield/archive/2011/02/21/quot-navigation-to-the-webpage-was-canceled-quot-error-is-displayed-when-trying-to-open-and-view-the-microsoft-dynamics-crm-2011-implementation-guide-ig-chm-file.aspx

It will be different for different versions of windows. But basically right click the EXE file and look for a setting to give the file full permissions.

Also the automatic ebook blocking is now solved, but I have to create all the EXE files again which will be done in the next few hours. I'll post a different update about that.

e-book issues

Some players are still having trouble with the e-book, specifically stating the "navigation to webpage was cancelled". Again this has nothing to do with the software, entirely to do with the Internet explorer settings on your computer. It is specifically Internet explorer regardless of what browser you use. it mostly occurs with Windows XP.

Google "navigation to the webpage was cancelled windows xp" and there is ample information. Unfortunately I can't help it is more than this as it is a Windows issue to do with your computer's security settings.

in an unrelated problem, but also to do with the e-book software, some ebooks are still being automatically locked. make sure you have downloaded the latest version of the e-book software, as it helps the program on track what the problem is.

General schedule

I haven't had time to barely look at my emails but will focus entirely on them tomorrow, so I will be fully up to date by the end of Friday.

Hybrid V3 Update

Progress is extremely good and detections are 100% accurate in suitable conditions, and timings are comfortably accurate to within 10ms. So the main parts are perfect. Now most of the work is making it EASIER to set up. Already it is very simple but there is still room for improvement.

The latest video update is at www.roulettesystemanalysis.com/m/v3ir.wmv
This time it is WMV format.

About the Video:

* The wheel's location is tracked, and the ball is searched for in the box.

* Another part of the software shows the extracted video for analysis. I created a "picture in picture" video so you can see what the software sees.

* The ball is marked by an orange box

* Because video frame rates would normally have significant errors, the position of the ball relative to a fixed reference point is accounted for. So if the ball is say 15 degrees off, the software determines the precise timing based on the angle discrepancy. It is accurate to within 10ms, which is 50 times more accurate than manually clicking a button as normal roulette computers do.

* Development has cost me now nearly 3 times as much, and many times longer than originally anticipated. But because of the time to develop, purchasers will only pay the mid-range of original estimates.

* It is difficult to give a time estimate for release. First we have to complete making setup easier, then check for any bugs. Then a few of the other minor components need to be completed. I will give updates when I know an accurate estimate.

Ebook issues

The ebook software appears to automatically re-lock ebooks after a while. The programmer is looking into it. I don't expect it will be a big bug so it should be fixed soon. But until it is fixed, I wont attempt unlocking ebooks as this will help him identify and fix the problem.

JAA (wheel analysis software)

Firstly when I refer to JAA, it just means the online wheel analysis software. I decided to upgrade the server so that the auto analysis is much quicker. Instead of using two connected servers, we will use eight core processors. This is complete overkill for most of what the software does although it should more than halve the time taken for auto analysis. It may even be as much as 5 times faster. The downside is much of the software needs to be rewritten in a different language so multicore threading can be used. This will take a bit over a month. Work has just begun, although there shouldn't be any interruptions with the current server.

auto analysis software security

Just a note about a security warnings of the software: when you are asked to allow security for Bob, select yes. Bob is just the name I gave to one of the servers. Not very creative, I know.

Online software

The changes are uploaded to the player server. I tested auto analysis with 1,000 spins, and the server took about a minute to return a response with details of the analysis, but the analysis was still done correctly. Its a painful and annoying wait, but there's not much we can do about it. Again a few BILLION calculations are being done so regardless it is going to take time.

The programmers have suggested that the code be optimised somehow, which may improve analysis speed. But this may take approximately one month if it is at all possible. At least for now, everything is working as it should. But to be sure, I need players to test the software to make sure - especially players with more than 1500 spins.

Online software issues for too many spins (auto analysis)

The programmers have resolved the issues on the test server, but that they couldn't get it working properly on the player server. They are still working on it but at least there is progress.

Ebook error "Navigation is cancelled"

If you open the ebook and get an error saying "Navigation is cancelled", this has nothing to do with the ebook. The cause and solution is explained at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/967941

Forum messages

A few players sent me important messages via the player forum. Please keep in mind I very easily miss forum messages, so please never use them to contact me. Important messages should only be sent via email. Soon enough I'll implement a web-based support system which will improve efficiency.
