Thanks, Ian. I still have my original burn of this from way back. Ultima IV is one of my favourite RPGs, having beaten it originally on Master System. When your port was released I spent a good deal of time playing it, would be interesting to see what an updated engine would offer. :)

That would be pretty cool! Also, I have re-built your cdi using BootDreams to include a dummy file padding the disc out to around 700mb, would you mind if I share that here? It would be kinder on peoples' GD-ROM drives if they burn to CD-R whilst the small cdi would be perfect for people who use ODEs etc.

A bug free version of UIV would be awesome. I am burning the current version to test, but would love to see it complete. Thanks!

Awesome work, is there any possibility for keyboard to gamepad mapping for regular functions & on-screen pop-up keyboard for when things just have to be typed as in Amiga emulation on DC?

NO this is native dos port to dreamcast it acts like the pc version i guess that could be possible i could have most normal controls mapped to to the controller but you still need a keyboard ..This is from 2003 one of my first ports so there was never any intent other then straight pc conversion..
