Ultima saga issues on Atari 130XE with SIO2SD v3.0
**Ultima saga issues on Atari 130XE with SIO2SD v3.0**
Hey everyone, I've been trying to get the Ultima saga running on my real Atari 130XE using a SIO2SD v3.0 and running into issues with almost every entry. Here's a breakdown:
**Ultima I (1981)**
Doesn't boot at all.
**Ultima II - Revenge of the Enchantress (1983)(Sierra On-Line)(US)**
The game boots and runs, but the overworld map graphics are completely corrupted — instead of the proper tile graphics, I get a mess of ATASCII characters. I've tried all available ATR versions (original, [a], [a1], mixed combinations) and all of them show the same corrupted map. The stats panel (HP, FOOD, EXP, GOLD) displays correctly, so the game is loading but something with the charset or Disk 2 data isn't rendering right. I tried POKE 106,100 before booting to simulate 64KB RAM in case the 128KB was causing issues, but no change.
**Ultima III - Exodus (1983)(Origin Systems)(US)**
The game boots to the Exodus title/main menu and freezes completely. Tried original, [a], and [a2] versions of Disk 1 paired with the original Disk 2. Booted with and without BASIC (Option+Reset vs plain Reset). Nothing gets past the main menu.
**Ultima IV - Quest of the Avatar (1985)(Origin Systems)(US)**
Doesn't boot at all.
Has anyone gotten any of these running on a 130XE with SIO2SD? Any known fixes or specific ATR versions that work?
Thanks!
