ok well i just downloaded this game so i could play it whenever i go around and got bored. but i still dont know how to get to start the game. what are the controls. cause at the start screen i cant even move the cursor
Mushroom
What are you using to play it? ie. if you downloaded it, are you using an emulator, or did you download the pc version?

I have no real idea what the *utlima* versiuon is, so this may be obvious. Either way, you should be able to go into options and go into controls if its an emulator and select gamepad or keyboard/whatever etc etc then pick what you want. If its a pc game you've downlaoded and you successfully installed it, you should be able to move your mouse about and then again, select your own prefered controls.

*shrugs* I think we're supposed to be more subtle about it if you downloaded it btw smile.gif
The Evil Dead
Ultima Edition, if I remember right, is a PC version that I believe has better compatibility with XP and some other features I can't think of.

As for things not moving... Don't know what to tell ya. Get a legit copy? tongue.gif

I advise playing this with a controller.

Also the game is translated properly. You will see dialoge that wasn't ##### up as it was in the PSX version.

Heres the controls. Save often..this is a PC game and it will CTD..

oh its a legit copy and ill be more subtle next time. lol anyways maybe that is the reason. i dotn have a num pad. im using my laptop. but maybe i can change it so i can use the direction buttons instead...huh. if nothing else works then i guess ill have to just go out and buy it. and i have the pc version not the emulator.

what do you think is better the emulator or the pc version?
Denim
WAD is a good directional set up if you wanna use the mouse.
Get a NUMPad addon for the laptop, and while you're at it, an actual mouse for it so you don't have to screw around with the inferior touchpad and incomplete keyboard. Or if you really don't want to, get a joypad that plugs in via USB or whatever.
FaytLeingod
oh..hmm im probably going to have to go buy a new keyboard then with the num pad. i already have the mouse since i play mmo's that need to i know the touch pad sucks with that. but anyone know anything about the emulator?
Mushroom
Wel, if I was ever in the circumsance of playing an emulated game, or a game i'd downloaded that was a pc game, my usb gamepad has always worked fine for = a playstation pad for your pc. But then again, the regular controls had to work for me to configure it :S I really would be suprised if you can't go into options and select controls.
FaytLeingod
you're right i cant config the controls...so i guess ill have to "get" the emulated version. uhh how would i do that?
Valince
Cant tell you where to get it =P. Just google it.
FaytLeingod
lol ok i will thanks anyway shion
The Evil Dead
PC Version fo sho.
FaytLeingod
lol the problem evil is i cant get it to work without getting a numpad addon even though i doubt they are expensive i just dont wanna spend the money. ahha im cheap
Mushroom

Pesmerga
