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/ where switch/exult/game/blackgate/static/ exists.)
