Choco, yourself and Knightfall might need to to post explicit instructions for anyone else running Win 8. Glad your problem is now solved. Have you tried running your favorite blade color and ran a a movie type "flicker" yet? The Emerald is beyond awesome! You will love this feature. Set your primary color to 255 and your secondary (same color) at 210. Set all 4 pulse timings to 0.02s and then turn on your favorite Star Wars movie!
AWESOME!!!
There wasn't really anything special I did I just reinstalled it and tried a different usb cable and that seems to work for now and yes I've been doing quite abit of tuning with my emerald driver making different led setups I can later load (I have a convention that I'll be attending next month so my saber will be making plenty of color changes
while it's with me)
I currently have my saber set to a "flickering" Counsular green though I'll probably make afew different flickering setups so yes I do agree that Emerald is very nice to have
