Summary: <h4>In which we look at ways to get the Ultima games up and running on mobile devices. This is relatively easy in the case of Ultimas 1 through 8...but what about Ultima 9?</h4><a id="more-5775335"></a><p><a href="https://itunes.apple.com/podcast/id978223252" style="font-size: 10pt;">Subscribe on iTunes</a><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> | </span><a href="http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/spam-spam-spam-humbug" style="font-size: 10pt;">Subscribe on Stitcher</a></p><h4>Intro</h4><p><em><a href="http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR00810">Ultima VI Gates of Creation</a></em> by OC ReMix</p><h4>New Patrons & Shout-Outs</h4><p>A big shout-out to <strong>Browncoat Jayson</strong> and <strong>Golem Dragon</strong>, both of whom worked to keep the Ultima Codex up to date with the latest <em>Shroud of the Avatar</em>, <em>Underworld Ascendant</em>, and <em>Crowfall</em>-related news during the last few days of June and the first few days of July.</p><p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">There have been a few new patrons that have added their support to the Ultima Codex Patreon campaign over the last couple of weeks, so much so that the first funding goal of the campaign has been met! Patreon of course take their share of the monthly funds (the service itself does have to make money somehow), so what comes to me doesn't quite cover the hosting costs of the Codex...but it certainly helps.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">So a big shout-out and note of thanks to </span><b style="font-size: 10pt;">Cody</b><span style="font-size: 10pt;">, </span><b style="font-size: 10pt;">Richard Garriott</b><span style="font-size: 10pt;">, </span><b style="font-size: 10pt;">Stile Teckel</b><span style="font-size: 10pt;">, </span><b style="font-size: 10pt;">George</b><span style="font-size: 10pt;">, and </span><b style="font-size: 10pt;">Thorwan</b><span style="font-size: 10pt;">. We're on to the second funding tier now (the slider in the sidebar has been updated to reflect this)...and if we hit that, I'll be able to give the Codex server a much needed upgrade (adding to its processing power, memory, and storage).</span></p><h4>Podcast Topic(s)</h4><p>It has been a couple weeks since the last <em>Spam Spam Spam Humbug</em> episode, owing mostly to the fact that Withstand the Fury Dragon took a bit of a vacation...in real life, not just from posting on the Codex. So, to get back in the swing of things, the SSSH crew sat down for a nearly two-hour long chat...ostensibly about getting the <em>Ultima</em> games running on mobile devices, but which veered off into a number of other topics as well. You'll really have to listen to the episode in full to catch everything; the show notes below will focus on the various means of running <em>Ultima</em> games on mobile devices.</p><h4>iOS</h4><p>Having been an iPhone user myself for a number of years, I've had ample opportunity to experiment with <a href="http://ultimacodex.com/2014/11/the-original-idos-app-for-ios-is-also-available-on-the-app-store-again/">iDOS</a> and <a href="http://ultimacodex.com/2014/11/dosbox-emulator-idos-2-is-back-on-the-ios-app-store-and-i-have-ultima-6-running-in-it/">iDOS 2</a>, two ports of DOSBox developed for iOS by <a href="http://www.litchie.com/pages/dospad.html"><strong>Litchie</strong></a>. iDOS 2 is obviously the newer one, and the one that is still in somewhat active development; there's a full tutorial on how to get <em>Ultima 6</em> running in it <a href="http://ultimacodex.com/2014/11/dosbox-emulator-idos-2-is-back-on-the-ios-app-store-and-i-have-ultima-6-running-in-it/">here</a>. Commenter <strong>Adam</strong> also produced a variant of these instructions, useful for getting more than five games running in iDOS 2, which can be found <a href="http://ultimacodex.com/sword-and-shield/topic/dosbox-emulator-idos-2-is-back-on-the-ios-app-store-and-i-have-ultima-6-running-in-it/#post-35893">here</a> (essentially, it involves creating multiple batch files, each of which contain menus with f</p>
