A COMMON MISTAKE IS PUTTING THE MMS.CFG FILE DIRECTLY INTO THE SHOCKWAVE FLASH FOLDER FOR APPLYING THE FIX TO CHROMIUM BROWSERS: DETAILS BELOW ON WHERE IT SHOULD BE PLACED THAT PEOPLE OFTEN SKIP.

1. Download the mms.cfg file from Topper's website by clicking this button. (Note you will need to open the ZIP file to access the mms.cfg file). Should you wish not to replace an already existing mms.cfg file but rather edit it, copying and pasting:
into the mms.cfg file will allow SAS4 to run.
2. Locate where the mms.cfg file needs to be placed:
For non-chromium based browsers, the mms.cfg file is located in the system files which is located in:
Windows 64 (Most windows systems):
Windows 32:
Mac:
Linux:
The mms.cfg file in the system files affects all non-chromium browsers on all accounts for that computer, so you will need administrator access to be able to modify non chromium browsers so that they can run the flash version of SAS4. If you are editing the system mms.cfg file you can ignore step 3. However chromium based browsers such as chrome or opera each have mms.cfg files unique to the browser and user account so you can run the flash version of SAS4 without administrator rights.
For chrome the location of the mms.cfg file is in a folder named System which is within the folder Shockwave Flash, however often the folder (and the mms.cfg file) does not exist and must be created (hence all the directories given below are to the folder Shockwave Flashrather than System). The directory of the Shockwave Flash folder is as follows (Note you will need to replace <ACCOUNT NAME> with the name of your computer account exactly):
For Chrome the location of the mms.cfg file is:
Windows:
Mac:
Linux:
For Opera the location of the mms.cfg file is:
Windows:
Mac:
Linux:
Should you wish to play SAS4 on a different chromium browser not mentioned here, searching for the folder Shockwave Flash in the directory search bar and finding the directory which contains the browser name should lead you to the desired folder as in step 2. This is also useful if the directory mentioned above isn't applicable to you and is modified somehow.
Although uncommon, if you have always disabled cookies on your browser, the Pepper Data folder won't exist. As a result you may have to create all the folders manually, or in further time I'll create a modified ZIP file with all the correct folders which can be pasted directly where it is missing.
3. Once you have found the directory that the mms.cfg needs to be placed, simply move the mms.cfg file from your download folder to that directory. Restart your browser that you have done this process for if you kept it open during the editing and SAS4 will load on that browser
If you have any questions, queries or difficulties post below and I'll do my best to help you!
