lol that game was such a pain to run on a PC!

I got it a few years ago with its diskettes, manuals, cloth map and the cardboard box around the stuff, and hated how it wouldn't allow EMM386.EXE but the DOS driver for creative labs PCI sound cards needed it. I could get it running with sound on my router but it died from thunder not much later. I had a 24/7 old small IBM desktop running windows 98SE, P133 40MB ram, with two ISA network cards and an ISA sound blaster vibra 16, which also served for light browsing, seti@home (lol), MSN, IRC and DOS gaming. it was silent and never crashed.

Yup, a great game but hard to run mostly becouse of the Voodoo memory controller.
Excult is really a great way to get it to run on almost any machine.

Can it run on any PSP or do I have to downgrade my firmware?

Tried it on my 3.40 OE, works like a charm really. The controls are a bit so-so at times with the original relying heavily on a mouse being present.

And to answer Nesh's question about downgrading: it's a 1.50fw build according to the readme so yeah either downgrade or install OE.
