Step-by-Step Installation Guide

Install on Quest, in the card above, is the one-click USB install. These steps are the manual path (SideQuest or ADB).

Overview

ANKH-VR runs the original Ultima IV: Quest of the Avatar (1985) in VR, built in Unity by plaidpants. The Quest version reads all its text and data straight from the original game's files. The author calls it functionally complete but alpha on the Quest. It switches tile sets while you play (CGA, EGA, Apple II or a custom PNG).

[!NOTE] No game files included. Ultima IV is free on GOG. Install it on a PC, then copy the whole install folder to the headset.

Prerequisites

  • Meta Quest 2 or Quest 3.
  • Ultima IV from GOG (free), installed on a PC.
  • Optional: the original music as MP3 or OGG (see the project page).

Step-by-Step Installation

  1. Install the APK via 1-click on QuestPorts or install ANHK-VR.apk with SideQuest / adb install -r.
  2. Copy the entire Ultima IV install folder to /sdcard/Android/data/com.SwivelChairGames.ANKHVR/files/u4, so AVATAR.EXE ends up at .../files/u4/AVATAR.EXE. File names are case sensitive on the Quest.
  3. Launch ANKH-VR from Unknown Sources.

[!TIP] SideQuest sometimes skips files when you copy many at once: check that everything arrived. If you copy old save files (.SAV), make them writable with adb shell chmod 666 /sdcard/Android/data/com.SwivelChairGames.ANKHVR/files/u4/*.SAV. A new game creates them writable already.

Troubleshooting & Tips

AVATAR.EXE must be directly in Android/data/com.SwivelChairGames.ANKHVR/files/u4/. Copied .SAV files need chmod 666 over adb or the game cannot save. Text to speech needs a network connection.
