Re: What do I DL?

It be smarter to have a "Get Exult Now" hyperlink that links to a page with the exult binaries and the SFX packs, and a have the SFX packs use an installer, or a good blurb about how to install them.

everything else gets sent to a better organized "Extras" page.

Re: Have you think in a console version ?

You need to get approval in order to sell games on consoles; you'd also need a dev kit, for most thats pretty much a given.

Re: why Ultima X w/o Lord British might not be a bad thing

Ulitma X sounds like an expansion to UO, rather than an anything else.

EA is unlikely to go for another origin project that takes longer than 2 years to finish

Re: [Mostly OT] EA vs. Vivendi.

1. FreeCraft, and since it plays war2, Has the possibility to dilute Blizzard's WarCraft trademark. Trademarks are valid as long as one defends them. So you can think that if Blizzard didn't C&D them, you'd get no World of Warcraft, simply because of the loss of the WarCraft trademark. People sh...

Re: [Mostly OT] EA vs. Vivendi.

Three Things. You can't confuse Ultima BG and SI with Exult. Its Obvious that you'd know that Exult has nothing to do with Origin/EA. FreeCraft is obviosly infringing on the WarCraft trademark. Blizzard sells something using the WarCraft trademark. Namely Warcraft 3, and you probably still pickup th...

Re: Ultima 8 in ME

Screw VDMS.

If you have a computer that lacks ISA slots, don't try running BG, SI, or U8.

You need DOS.

You need an ISA sound card.

if you lack either you are going to get a headache to get it to work, and sub-standard sound quailty when it does work.

Anything faster than a p133 is also out.

I'd check to see if your card is overheating.... try under clocking it and see what happens.

Re: exult and sound

SDLSound depends on external libraries anyways(No libvorbis, no ogg playing).

Tho, I'd probably use the integer decoder on the zaurus, rather than the FP decoder(Which I assume would be the one that libvorbis uses by default)

I can somewhat understand the easier part.
