Releases:
* MPU-401 Driver (6.1 KiB, 120 hits)
* SoundBlaster Driver (4.0 KiB, 115 hits)

Nodling Dragon’s site is well worth the read if you have any interest in making an remake, as it contains numerous technical documents on the format of Ultima game files.

These are a pair of patches that Nodling released because ‘s driver does not correctly output music on faster systems. The patch works with the standard interface on most systems. The patch actually adds compatibility with SoundBlaster, which had previously not been supported.

Produced by: Origin Systems Inc. (defunct)
Website: Origin (redirects to UO site)
Releases:
* AdLib Patch (1.9 KiB, 70 hits)

‘s sounds require a short delay (23 microseconds) after the game accesses the sound port. On the slower 286/ systems the game first released on, this was no problem. However, on newer systems, this can be problematic, as the processor is much too fast. This patch causes the necessary delay.
