Speaker Patch (115.4 KiB, 36 hits)
Another timing-correction patch that allows Ultima 6 to correctly play sounds through the default PC speaker on faster systems.
Note that Finire Dragon’s webpage has no section concerning this patch – he only hosts it there.

MPU-401 Driver (6.1 KiB, 41 hits)

SoundBlaster Driver (4.0 KiB, 46 hits)
Nodling Dragon’s site is well worth the read if you have any interest in making an Ultima remake, as it contains numerous technical documents on the format of Ultima game files.
These are a pair of patches that Nodling released because Ultima 6’s MT-32 driver does not correctly output music on faster systems. The MPU patch works with the standard MIDI interface on most systems. The SoundBlaster patch actually adds compatibility with SoundBlaster, which had previously not been supported.

AdLib Patch (1.9 KiB, 38 hits)
Ultima 6’s AdLib sounds require a short delay (23 microseconds) after the game accesses the sound port. On the slower /386 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.
