As computers evolve, we risk losing classic games from the not-so-distant past. One of these, Ultima 7, an RPG from the early 1990's, still has a huge following, and many consider it to be one of the most immersive games ever produced.
Exult is a project to recreate Ultima 7 for modern operating systems, using the game's original plot, data, and graphics files.
This is a port of Exult and supports both Ultima VII: The Black Gate and The Ultima VII Part Two: Serpent Isle - The Silver Seed. It should also support anything else Exult supports, but they are not tested.
Installation
Exult requires that you own a legal copy of Ultima 7 and install it install it on a DOS/Windows machine to get the data files. Alternatively, you can use the Ultima Collection which already contains a pre-installed version of U7.
To install:
- Place the .nro to the
switch/exult/on the SD card. - Place your gamefiles (more info at exult docs, chapter 11) to
switch/exult/game/<GAME>/. - (Example:
switch/exult/game/blackgate/whereswitch/exult/game/blackgate/static/exists.)
User guide
Per-game key mappings
Put the mappings in sdmc:/switch/exult/switch_keys. There are not any included defaults.
- The format is SWITCH_KEY = KEYBOARD_KEY
- Switch keys are A B X Y LSTICK RSTICK L R ZL ZR PLUS MINUS DUP DRIGHT DDOWN DLEFT
You can have any combination like:
- ZL-A
- ZL-ZR-A
Keyboard key can be a key and a modifier:
- Modifiers are ALT SHIFT CTRL
- So you can do ALT-X or SHIFT-CTRL-F
Some examples:
- MINUS = ESC
- PLUS = I
- ZL-ZR-B = I
