Duke3d Won't Play

[fomit]

I've downloaded the latest version (0.03?) and moved all the right files from the CD. I've also made the files to duke3d.cfg. Oh yeah, I have the Atomic Edition. It says it's version 1.4.

The game starts. However, when I start a new game it just sits there at the background screen playing music. I am running in on a MK2 with firmware 2.0. I have searched the forums and haven't seen this yet. Anyone have any thoughts?

Here are the contents of my duke2x directory and the dates of the files:

DEFS.CON 12/11/96
DUKE3D.CFG 7/28/06
duke3d.gpe 3/06/06
DUKE3D.GRP 12/11/96
GAME.CON 12/11/96
readme.txt 3/06/06
tmpsong.mid
USER.COM 12/11/96

You're pressing the wrong button to start the game. Whatever button you're pressing (can't remember which one it is now) is taking you back a level, not forwards, and it's trying to show the demo (the demo structure changed with every duke3d version, and the released code isn't compatible with most (all?) versions). One of these days I'll find where that bit is in the menu code and I'll stop it happening .

Yeah, you need to press A to select stuff and B to cancel or go back.

Thanks for the quick replies guys, that worked perfectly.
