C64s:

At the moment you are not able to save the game within C64s (e.g. C64s 2.5b shareware). You can only play the game in full 1541 emulation mode. Freezing will not help due to the 1541 emulation. I have even tried it with a GCR imported surface disc - it looks as if the game is saved, but actually not. If you save on a normal D64 image file, you will get the following error message: 29, DISK ID MISMATCH, 06, 09. Only some parts are saved, because the date stamp of the image file changes. Track 6 is the area, where information about characters is stored in character generation. (track 06, sectors: 09, 10, 12-20). You also cannot generate a character within C64s. So if you want to play it on an emulator, use Frodo or Vice emulator.

Transfer U6 back to a 'real' C64:

Some people have reported problems to me about playing Ultima IV on a real C64. It was the same in my case but:

Here is the way how I succeeded:
Use Star Commander 0.80 in warp mode, and check the buttons for formatting the disc + name before. I did not use the fast command execution, which can be adjusted in the options menu. So for me the problem is a question of formatting.

Copyprotection:

You can find all the files and documentations you need at: ULTIMA VI The False Prophet This page is from ORIGIN.
Read the documentation of the encore CD-ROM and get all the maps and a walkthrough if you need them.

I have put the Q&A here, as you are already here:
