Elvira the Arcade in WinUAE

24 April 2013, 18:16

Hi everyone, I've been trying to play Elvira on WinUAE but after playing the intro (complete with music) it gets stuck in the picture of Elvira and her name in nice, big, red letters, with nice atmospheric music playing... and that's it. It won't go any further. I've pressed all buttons on my keyboard and mouse, tried to simply wait it out... to no avail. Can anyone give a hand?
Thanks.

P.S. My WinUAE version is 2.4.1

Most likely bad config or bad image.

You need to press fire at some point. I use keyboard layout with numpad 5 as fire.

Edit: Oh, and when disk 2 loads and stops loading you have to use the left or right arrow keys to select a world and press fire again.

When I press the LMB it jumps to a purple screen and does nothing.
I tried using the numpad (I'm playing on a laptop) but no change.
I'll look through the link you send me now CFOU!.
Thanks

P.S. I didn't change anything, but curiously enough, it played. Thanks again everyone!
