ultima 4 on the C750??

[zaphod]

Can anyone get this to run?
it will not work with libsdl1.2.5C700 (the Japanese one that you need for snes9x)
 I have it running but not fullscreen and it\'s small and sideways.  i got libSDL1.2.6cvs, unpacked it to a directory rather than installing it so as not to break all my other stuff which needs libsdl1.2.5C700, and set LD_PRELOAD=/home/zaurus/compat/libsdl.so before launching it from the command line.

Is there a way to tell a command line app to run in magnified mode? I tried launching it with a script and then putting the script on the Exec= line in a .desktop file, but for some reason the script doesn\'t work when its called from a .desktop. I get the Please Wait... and then nothing happens. The script works fine from the command line. What happens when you check the little checkbox to make an app run magnified? Is some environment variable set? Somebody said in the old forums that it added a line to the .desktop file, but that is clearly not the case here. I\'m using cacko 1.18 qtopia ROM.

I have never managed to get it to run, even small!

lets keep this thead alive -- I want to get both xu4
and exult working.

Scott, I got exult to run, at least to the point where it makes a nice pretty window that says i don\'t have the files from Ultima 7.  I got it mixed up with xu4 which is why I got it working even though I don\'t own U7.

As for getting xu4 going, I tried running it with magnification (QVGA) but the damn thing is fullscreen but upside down!  And it freezes shortly after the intro screen pops up. Then i have to telnet in and killall u4.

One odd thing I noticed is that there are 3 instances of u4 when I run it magnified. I think this is what causes the lockup.  Anyway, i think someone needs to make a native C7X0 SDL and just recompile these goofed up games.

If these games are a big priority for you and you don\'t mind lack of pims, try the X11 ROM.  cacko is giving away the cross compiler and I bet xu4 will be easy to compile. I might just try doing it myself.

ya... I have exult and the ul7 + serp island, etc.
my experience with xu4 was the same -- I got it to pop up once, but then it locked.

The games would be nice, but it\'s not like I\'m going to drop everything to get them going.

Yes, I was trying to flash to cacko-x11 last night -- but for some reason, my c700 now says
it can\'t find the two cf cards that I ahve when I try to flash!  it also won\'t mount them later
after the os is booted.  I tried to format the cf with ext2 and then back to (v)fat, but I\'m not
having much luck yet.
