    Ultima 5 to download? Not regular disk image!

    I have SD2IEC which lets me run almost any C64 games from SD card but some multi-load games are a kludge to handle as you can't exactly exit out the game to do a disk swap then get back in. I do know some multi-load games have been converted to D81 (3.5" version) format instead of older D64 format (original 5.25" single sided) Has anyone tried to convert my favorite game Ultima 5 to D81 format or what? I found U3 and 4 already converted so surely someone tried 5?

    If not, would having individual D64 on each SD, and swap SD card as needed work? Or any tip on swapping the disk image in the game?

    TIA!!

    I don't know about a d81 conversion, but I do know if you have a txt file in that folder with the images in order, you can use the buttons on the SD2IEC to switch between images on the fly.

    Hmmm I'll have to look up the text file method and try to make it work. I'd probably get it working before someone finds me a D81 conversion.
