Exult Gp2x 1.2 Beta 1 Available :)

[jan_europa]

sadly most of those discs are highly virus infected

yeah I usually prefer to play with the "ping pong" virus, the virus
with the small ball, than with the games that where saved in the disks :lol: :lol:

yeah, I have my old 5-1/2" disks too

 

[Vimacs]

Hehe at "Mini"-Diskette

yeah, arent they small?

 

[Wolfspirit]

I have the entire ultima collection on one CD and it also comes with video interviews etc. Plus I have Ultima IX seperate to that. Never played it all the way through. I think I might just have to.

When I try to run Exult on my GP2X, it just says that it can't find the Black Gate or Serpent Isle data files, but I have the serpent isle data files in the serpentisle folder. The exult folder is in the root of the SD card, is that where it should be?

EDIT: Okay, I got it to find the data files, but now it just freezes when it gets to the main Exult menu.

​

Did you lauch the game from GP2X's menu or the sterm? If you did from the menu is normal that it looks to be freeze, because controls are not configured in that version.

By the way, I have in my WIP version Exult menus' controls redirected to GP2X's joystick and working OK. Now I'm working in "on game" controls, but it will be much more difficult to achieve that the menu controls. :unsure:

I will inform you when I have more news

Just to say:

Way to go Puck!

Awesome!

Radical!

Reaganomics!

etc etc.

Once this is working I know at least 3 people who will be buying GP2Xs just to run this!

I really want a version I can navigate the menu and at least start the game so I can show people it running (but not playing as such, because in game control isn't yet there)

Any chance of a release like that?

Keep up the good work buddy!

Well, if you only need that, I can upload my WIP version in two-three hours (I'm currently at work).

OMG!!

I now have THE reason to buy a gp32x - I already have a gp32 and wasn't sure if it was worth the upgrade.


But now with exult, and ff7 on the psp emulator - woohoo!!

 

[Puck2099]

RichKS, here you have Exult GP2X Beta 2.

It has enabled controls in menus, so you don't need anymore to launch the game through sterm

On game controls are not implemented, so it is still no playable

I'm currently working in on game controls, so I hope to give you good news in a short time

I have a 5 1/2 drive for my C64, is there plans for an adapter for a computer serial port?

 

[Vimacs]

you need a X1541 or XE1541 cable for that, but it will of course only read (and write) c64 discs.
You can get shematics and tools at www.emu-ecke.de , its a german site but google should help, or jsut google for the cable, iam sure there are also english sites.
You may as well just type it in ebay.

More progresses

Today I have implemented mouse emulation in on game screen. It's not perfect, but at least I think it's playable.

Now you can move the avatar, click items, drag and drop them, explore the city... I haven't implemented mouse emulation in text screen, so if you speak to someone you won't be able to skip dialog and it seems to be freezed...

I will be out until Monday for Christmas, so don't expect more progresses until them

WOW!!!

This is sweet!

Muchas Gracias!!

That is awesome! Does your download include the source? I'd like to wok on this as well.

Guess what, I got a GP2X. Any idea why? That's right, to play exult on it. Ultima 7 is my FAVORITE game ever, bar none. I spent literally hours of my childhood playing this game. I played U7 like people play WoW today. Nice work so far, please don't let up, and be sure to get a paypal/donation address setup, I will surely donate for your effort. If I can get time, I may be willing to help in the porting of this as well. Will the source be available on exults web page? I know they like to stay up to date with ports to new systems, and that could help U7 as well as the GP2X grow. Thanks again Puck.

I will include a link to download source in next beta version, beta 2 was only a version to let RichKS show the game to his friends

I hope in a few days you can get mouse emulation totally functional and available to download and try

Ultima VII is my favourite game too, that was the reason to make me try to port first to GP32 and later to GP2X

I have a paypal/donation address (puck2099@gmail.com), you can see it at upper right part of my website (it is a time since last actualization, but I'm spending my free time coding)

As it is continuously on development, the source code will be available at the moment in my website, but I will merge with Exult "main code" when it gets finished B)

Thanks everybody for your feedback and sorry for my English :unsure:

Hi again,

I've succeded to emulate mouse in dialogs screens, now you can speak to people

The bad new is that graphic errors were not a problem related to execute Exult from sterm, but a problem related to the actual Exult code, so at the moment they continue appering. I think that it is related to screen redraw, but I prefer to have controls totally working until start fixing that

By the way, I want to "reactivate" tomorrow my homepage, but centering it only in my own projects and other people's projects hosted there, making it what it must be, a WIP place where explain projects progresses like this.

Knowning that I will post there these progresses, do you want that I continue posting in this thread everyday progresses or prefer reading in my homepage to avoid flood the forum? :unsure:

Regards

 

[Wolfspirit]

Nice so can we download this from your site now? Is it playable now? I want continue the avatar's journey on my gp2x. If you could post the source as well.. I'd like to take a look.

Either way seems fine. Now that I have your homepage bookmarked, I will be checking their regularly. Nice to hear that the mouse is now working for the dialogue.
