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.

I will put the u4 .9 binary up today some time.
LD
-
thanks.
-
It is on the feed as well as the ultima6 port.
LD
-
nice ... thank you.
what\'s your recommendation for an apple][ emulator for the Z?
have you run any of them?
Scott
-
There is already an Apple II emulator on the feed. Kegs is an Apple IIgs emulator.
LD
-
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.
Scott
-
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\'m running pdaXrom 1.0.0 with the feed versions of sdl*.

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.
LD

Ok. Here is the error. Working on it now:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

xu4-9 gives me can\'t load egaPalette.xml
I went to /usr and untarred... I didn\'t try t untar any files from the .8 version.
Scott

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.
LD

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.)
