hm well first check you havent got a mis-calibrated joystick in windows control panel.
then check the controls setting inside blood omen from the main menu

No miscalibrated joystick and as soon as I go into the controls panel the game freezes :(

meh. well if you have broadband (or endless patience, like me) i recommend downloading the full psx version (there are a few bittorrents for it around) and playing it in epsxe emulator. the pc version isnt as good.

heh to tell the truth, a lot of things have the worst version on p.c - dont even get me started on the ports from arcade games

I'm new to this kind of thing could you give me a link to an epsxe emulator and the psx version?

giving links to roms is illegal but the emulator is over at ngemu.com, just make sure you have a psx bios as well (can't link to it as it is still copyright to sony so it would be illegal to link to it.)

Right, I don't have a psx bios, most of the stuff i've seen on other sites is for writing programs for playstations. Even if i could write a program in anything better than basic I wouldn't want to because personally I think playstations suck. I wanted to download the file from here because I can't find the game anywhere else and its not working for me. So give it to me straight. Should I give up and get on with my life or can someone help me?

BTW I also tried downloading it from HotU but the crack doesn't work on that version so its always asking me for the CD.

the hotu version should work fine (thats where i downloaded mine before it was put on here) and if you want the psx bios, google it (i didn't have to as i have quite a few links in relation to emulation).

unfortunately it doesn't for me. As i said, the crack doesn't seem to work.

well if the p.c version wont work for you, and you hate playstation, you can either;

1. give up.

2. buy the p.c version cd *no guarantee that would work, if the cracked version doesnt.

3. buy a 3DO console and a copy of blood omen.

Where did you download the game and crack from?
