[SiENcE]

I took the Exult 1.2 port from gp2x Forum. Laters i will try to port the newest version of Exult. Are you interested in patches or makefile/conf?

cheers

Congratulations! We, at least I, didn't even know that someone ported Exult to gp2x
And yes, we are interested in patches, best place would be our patch tracker at https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_ ... tid=302335

How can i generate "exult_bg_flx.h" and "exult_si_flx.h" files?

I'm doing a crosscompile for mips on an x86 environment and i cant execute "expack" on my host system, because its x86 and not mips.

Do i need to generate something else to build the exult client?

[SiENcE]

Ok. Already found howto make this files via expack.

Whats the best way to make Exult playable without mouse? Mouse Emulation or make Menues controllable via D-Pad and Buttons?

[Dominus]

I think a mixture would be nice. Maybe have look at how the pocketpc port and the zaurus port manage mouse.

[SiENcE]

I think they have touchscreens. But Dingoo has not.

Is it possible to browse the Gumps via keypad just like the bg/si startmenu?

[SiENcE]

Ah and i got the exult svn compiled. But it did not work. So i choose to use 1.2 for now based on the gp2x build.

Here are the sources.

hmm, too bad the SVN doesn't work, since the SVN is the recommended version these days.
We eliminated the need for SDL_Mixer in SVN, perhaps that plays a part...

[SiENcE]

The Exult svn work for me.

[SiENcE]

OK. I got the current SVN compiled and running on Dingux (Dingoo). SDL_mixer is fine so far.

Nice

Ok someone port it to Android now so Ill really get nothing done during the day!

Hey.

I ported an virtual mouse driver to Dingux (Linux on Dingoo) as base for Exult ( and of couse other apps that need a mouse).

Before i release my Exult Port Dingux i want to know, is Ultima 7 part1 and part2 playable only using the mouse?

What keys are needed? The dingoo has not many Keys.

I have mapped:
-ESC -> Select button
-cursor-up,-down,-left,-right -> D-Pad
-virtual mouse -> R-shoulder+D-Pad
-mouse buttons -> R-shoulder + A (right), B(middle), Y(left)

Now I have 6 Keys left (START, A, B, X, Y, L-shoulder) for a mapping.

What is usefull? What is really needed?

thx

[Dominus]

Best answer you can get is by trying to play a bit both games. I'm sre you will quickly notice which keys you miss/want...

[SiENcE]

Of couse, but i don't have time for this.

[SiENcE]

Tada ... release

Exult v1.4_svn6317 for Dingux (beta2)
