Regarding the "oncoming storm", possibly so.. after all, it did also have a certain Time Lord

Oh, it's that place in the mountains. Yeh, I remember it now.

Not sure if this is legit or not, since I couldn't replicate it myself using the original executable in the GOG release, and I haven't previously heard about it: https://www.kotaku.com.au/2018/08/it-took-26-years-to-find-ultima-7s-lord-british-hiding-in-this-secret-room/ Cool find if it is legit, an...

Thanks. That may definitely prove useful. Though in the case of U4, there is also xu4.. I haven't really looked at it yet, but by all accounts it's already feature complete. If so, it may be easier to use it as a basis.

Cool! That should be a big help when I eventually get to working on them. Thanks.

I've put up a blog posting about some of the initial mucking around I've done working on Ultima I support at http://planet.scummvm.org/ Still planning on some proper R&R first, but even my casual lunchtime reverse engineering and implementation work has shown some results that bodes well for ful...

Thanks for the links, though pity the tech info is mostly more for the later games that there are already engines for. The end goal of all this is provide support for both the original games as well as new "enhanced" modes in ScummVM, so having some kind of conversion be required is not pr...

That's good to hear. Their last update was over a year ago at http://www.ultima6.realmofultima.com/ On the disassembly side, I discovered that the Exodus Project had a technical document of the Ultima II executable, with some basic information. So that may provide valuable information about both it ...

I'd third that too. At the very least with the work I'll do, I'll try and set up the interface layer/logic for using the Ultima 6 tileset to be generic enough that someone experienced with Exult could experiment with setting up an automatic mapping with some effort. And someone with artistic skills ...

As Sergorn said, reimplementing the early games in their entirety in ScummVM will allow for enhancements. Part of the reason I'm interested in working on them is the opportunity to experiment with the possibilities of using the Ultima VI tilesets to improve the graphics. I've already been having fun...

Hi All. With the expansion in recent years of ScummVM to include RPGs, I've been spending some of my time working on reversing them as well as adventures. With work nearly finished on an engine for supporting the Might & Magic Xeen games, I'm currently casting around for what to work on later in...
