- I'm hoping that some one can solve the problems I'm having trying
- to run Ultima III (the recent port by beastie@lairware.com, see
- also http://www.lairware.com/~beastie/ultima3.html) on Executor.
-
- A bit about my configuration:
- Pentium 66/16MB
- Ati Graphics Ultra Pro PCI (VBE 1.2)
- Soundblaster Pro
- Executor/Dos 1.99q9
-
- I've been playing with Ultima III for a few months. The good news:
- It works. Sound effects work. But music doesn't. (I didn't even
- bother trying speech).
-
- I get the error message:
-
- Ultima III has run out of memory while attempting to get a music
- track. Use Finder's Get Info command to give another 100K or so
- to Ultima III
-
- Naturally, Browser isn't quite up to the task. I have also tried
- to use executor -applzone 8m to get more memory, but that doesn't
- seem to work.
-
- Another quirk: When Ultima III loads up, it "wipes" in EXODUS,
- which SHOULD be accompanied by some sound effects (works fine on
- my Amiga/Emplant) but isn't. Then it "wipes" in Ultima III which
- SHOULD also be accompanied by some sound effects (although I
- could have sworn that this used to work on Executor -- I tried
- going back to 1.99q but no luck. Then I tried 1.99p and had
- no sound at all). Finally it shows a small animation of a bunch
- of adventurers fighting a dragon. The dragon breathes on them
- and that sound works perfectly.
-
- Naturally, ARDI is very busy, but maybe one day ...
