Howdy, can someone confirm to me, if there is only corrupt copies of Ultima 4 on the net, or its an emulator related problem?
I now have 3 versions of Ultima IV and all are unfinishable.
1. ECA Crack (0 Trainers)
2. ECA Crack (with "fixed" Britannia disk from Arnold.)
3. ECA Crack (3 Trainers) from here (Gamebase64)
The problem is, is when you get into to play it, there are certainly items in this game you must collect in order to finish it, yet they don't exist.
Unfortunately the 3 Trainers (ECA Crack), ive downloaded here is the most bugged Ultima 4 ive seen yet, on CCS64 its suffered flaws of simply peering at a gem, and of course missing objects.
I recently have just given up, now I just finished the Apple 2 version of Ultima IV, and I know for sure they are all flawed, it was a pity considering Ultima IV for C64 is the best version of that game of any system.
I can't test them on a real 64 cause I no longer have one, but just
like to know, if its is a emulator related problem, or are they corrupt and we are still waiting for a working copy?

Well, without a snapshot (VICE), saved state (CCS64) or a step-by-step walkthrough, it is nearly impossible to recreate any problem in the game without wasting hours. What items are missing and when? How do you get the gem, and what happens when you look at it? A save state would really help us out, since it may be as simple as needing True Drive.

Providing a save-state would be difficult and confusing, as just the way the game is played.
The quickest way to test (Preferly someone whos fimilar with Ultima IV) is quickly start new game, go to town next to Lord British Castle, enter the town (Britain) go west to the Inn, you will see a hallway walk to the very end of it and press S for search.
You should find the Rune of Compassion, but its missing?.. Apple 2, Atari 800, Amiga, Atari STs version are identical to C64's version, And yeah you do the above again, and it works, just the C64 version is unfinishable.

you should get the Sextant AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, before messing anywhere else.
Only with the Sextant, you can be sure that the position at which the other user found the RoC is identical to the position where you searched.
Descriptions like "seven steps left from xyz" usually are very vague...
