Hi All,

Exult is a famous game engine to play all Ultima 7 RPG series from the early 1990's !
For more details please see http://exult.sourceforge.net/.

Here is a port of this smashing game engine to pandora !

Sources are included, and this package is under the GNU public licence, read COPYING.txt file for more information about it.

You will need to copy manually orignal Ultimate VII files (see the README.pandora for details)

Everything is on my blog :
here


Enjoy,

Zx.

Ok, what is GoG? I only know that to mean Guild of Greeters, but that's from Myst, not Ultima.

It's where you buy classic games for cheap, great for getting data files legally. Excellent site.

Unfortunately the Ultima Series is not yet on GOG. The rights are with EA which along with Lucasarts are the last big publishers still missing from GOG.

Thanks a lot for the Exult Port, zx-81. I was hoping that would be coming. How far along is Exult these days? Are there features missing or bugs or is it complete?

Great!

Since this game's original resolution is 320x200 (16:10 x:y-ratio) it would be suited to run (almost) fullscreen on Pandora (e.g. upscaled to 768x480) without losing its correct aspect ratio (using the full 800x480 would still keep almost correct aspect ratio). Does it?

I didn't finish the quest so i don't know if there are bugs up to the end ... i loose much time with the music stuff, finally i succeed to compile and use timidity.

EDIT: I found a version of Ultima VII series on abandonia.com
