Title: Problem running Ultima4
Post by: SteelMyst on March 14, 2004, 06:36:53 pm
A window pops up very brielfy then I get dropped back to the terminal with error \'Fatal signal: Segmentation Fault (SDL Parachute Deployed)\'

I have all four SDL files installed to /mnt/user.  u4 and the ultima zip are in /home/root. Oh, and I\'m running X11 on an 860. Thanks in advance.

ah... ok, then nothing has changed since the last time I tried it.

*sigh*

Scott
ps: anyone know how to fix this?

Yup.  You need to extract the tar file to /usr/local or /usr.  Then, the ultima4.zip and optional u4upgrad.zip files need to be in  the current directory where u4 is run, a subdirectory named \"ultima4\" off the current directory, /usr/lib/u4/ultima4, /usr/local/lib/u4/ultima4.

The ultima4 zip file downloaded is called ultima4-1.01.zip, so be sure to rename it to ultima4.zip.

It runs on my device which is running the latest pdaXrom.

Now I\'m getting a new error.  \'xu4: error: unable to load datafiles: Is Ultima IV installed?\' Currently u4 is in /usr/lib/u4 and I have the zip under the ultima4 sub-directory. I did rename the zip and tried putting u4 under /usr only, but I still got the same error. Aside from the 4 SDL libs (obatined from pdaXrom.org feed) are there any other packages I need?  Again, Thanks in advance.

I did not understand ld\'s post *at* *all*

I have some files at zaurus.spy.org/feed/xu4 ... etc.

I downloaded and then renamed  the ultima1.1whateever file to ultima4.zip -- and then got the upgrade
images.  I put them in some dir.  I went to / and untarred the ultima \"u4\" program... the tar file -- NOT the zip.
I cd back to the dir where ultima4.zip is -- I *did* *not* unzip the ultima4 or the u4u*.zip upgrade file.
ran \"u4\" .. and it worked.  It\'s very nice.

However, I think this is version .8 and I get random sdl parachute errors .... so it\'s too unstable to play.

I think ld means that you can put the u4.zip and u4u*.zip in those dirs that he listed, so you don\'t have
to always have them relative to your pwd (ie: .) ...  I\'ll try that.

LordDavon -- could we get the version numbers in the files you make?  
ie: u4 has version .9 and exult has like 1.10.rc2 .... I think xu4 .9 fixes many crashes, etc.

other than that, the game is pretty much amazing.  if you go full screen, though, you can\'t
control-alt + arrow to switch screens, you can\'t even alt-tab to switch apps...
but it is nice.

now for exult.

I\'ll speak to you, ld, about getting mame compiled with the trubo hard coded to be on --
so we can at least use mame!!!!

Oh, btw, I played xu4 with the turbo mode set from \"3\" to \"2\" (ie: 199mhz) .. and the
game ran just fine.

Scott
ps: thanks again ld!

Try entering the directory where the ultima4.zip file is in and launching u4.

nice ... thank you.

what\'s your recommendation for an apple][ emulator for the Z?
have you run any of them?

Scott
Title: Problem running Ultima4
Post by: LordDavon on March 17, 2004, 09:44:35 am
There is already an Apple II emulator on the feed.  Kegs is an Apple IIgs emulator.

Post by: ScottYelich on March 17, 2004, 12:37:39 pm
er, right.... so this is the one that you recommend...

see, I\'m going to compile them on sparc, etc... so it\'s great that
we have them in the feed -- but notice that steem is binary only.
that doesn\'t help us on arm.... it doesn\'t help me on sparc, etc.

Post by: LordDavon on March 17, 2004, 12:59:33 pm
Steem is not an option at this time.  Once they release the code (and hoping it is not too assembler optimized) then porting should be fairly easy.

LordDavon:

I\'ve been trying nuvie. Extracted the binary from your tar. Made one dir with the binary, the Ultima6 game files (converted to lower case names) and a nuvie.cfg in it. This is what I get:

Loading Config from \'/home/root/.nuvierc\': Failed.
Loading Config from \'nuvie.cfg\': Done.

I am getting the same.  I am not sure of the issue.  strace is telling me that there is a problem with memory.  I am going to see what I can find.

Ok.  Here is the error.  Working on it now:

Nuvie issue:

Well, here is the deal.  They fixed the error in cvs, so I checked out the cvs again.  Now another error has cropped up.  This is the problem when working with files that come from cvs only.  I will take a watch the cvs logs and check it out again once they fix the latest error.

It looks like it is not finding your .zip file.  I just tested it an it is working on my Z.

well, I\'ve unzipped in / ... didn\'t work.  I tried in /usr/local, didn\'t work.
now I wrote a script (well, 3 rms.... ) to remove the .8 files... from /, /usr and /usr/local
then installed in /usr/local 9 ... didn\'t work.  then I installed while in /
and that works, if I have the .zip files in . which I put in /home/root/xu4/run
but I want to have the files on the system, so I don\'t have to cd to run.

In Summary:

with the davon-xu4-x11.tar.gz ultima4-x.xx.zip and u4upgrade.zip\'s:

mv /where/ever/it/is/davon-xu4-x11.tar.gz to /usr
tar xvzf davon-xu4-x11.tar.gz
mv bin/u4 /bin/u4
mv /where/ever/they/are/*.zip /home/root
                                              (where * is the ultima4 and u4u files)
cd /home/root
u4

and it works.  (just trying to sum up all the craziness from above.)

Tested on SL-C700 pdaxrom partitioned root 35mb
