Cancerous1 has released a port of Exult to homebrew/JTAG 360s

As computers evolve, we risk losing classic games from the not-so-distant past. One of these, Ultima 7, an RPG from the early 1990's, still has a huge following, and many consider it to be one of the most immersive games ever produced. Exult is a project to recreate Ultima 7 for modern operating systems, using the game's original plot, data, and graphics files.


Whats New/Fixed:
- Smooth scrolling (disabled by default, though)
- Aspect correction is now supported
- More data from the original has been decoded and thus improved gameplay and combat
- In-game Notebook with support for automatic notes (notes created by usecode)
- Integrated Pentagram's audio system which means support for real Roland MT-32 device, Roland MT-32 emulation and FluidSynth
- Removed dependency of the audio system on SDL_Mixer
- New shapes for the paperdolls
- Tons of bugfixes

There have been many changes to Exult Studio and our support for mods as well:
- Multi-map support for new games
- Moved hard-coded information to datafiles
- Increased limits on resource sizes (shapes, frames, etc)
- Greatly improved compiler tools to ease new game development
- Tons of work on our map editor Exult Studio and the ability to develop new games and mods

I'm glad to be able to share a beta release of Exult360, much more work needs done but it is working well enough for a preview of what's to come.

Docs are in Exult360ULTIMA7Documentation and Exult360SERPENTDocumentation, 'L3' button will open a quick reference for the controls.

Thanks on this one should be given to Ced2911, Anthony, Node21, UberFry, Tuxuser, Shane Gillespie, Eviltar, JcpLinux, LoveMHz, Lantus, TeamFSD and probably others I'm forgetting. It's been a community effort to bring this to the 360 for everyone thanks and enjoy.
