Andrew Taylor’s SDL-based re-creation of Ultima 4 is intended to be a cross-platform version of the game much as Exult is for Ultima 7.
And, since Ultima 4 is freeware, he (like many others) has also made available for download the original version (0 bytes) of the game. As well, there is a graphics update (0 bytes) available. The original game is now included with non-PC versions of xu4, but is required for Windows.
Both windows binaries (beta3 and snapshot) seem to be corrupt. There’s also newer snapshot available at xu4 site dated 2010-01-15.
Augh.
I’m wondering if perhaps…you know what? I need to rethink how I’m doing this. It’s perhaps fortunate that my wife is going away to the Olympics this week; I can tie up the Internet bandwidth without fear of lagging her out of what she’s doing.
I’ll upload my recovered archive of files from my old host and see about overwriting files copied to the current server from my optical backups; there seems to be a higher rate of data corruption in the optical set.
