• You can report every bugs you found in the forums.
• Links for Ultima Launcher work now.

• I've some problems with the server hosting the last versions of the Ultima Launcher. I'll try to resolve this problem as soon as possible.
• I think releasing Ultimatrix v0.29 within a week.

• Ultima Launcher v1.4 is out. Two versions are available : a Light one and a Complete one. What's the difference between them, you say ? The difference concerns the Help File. In the Complete version, the Help File includes all Ultima Cloth Maps (mainly provided by Xe Dragon from his HRUMP Project) at scale 500x500 pixels whereas the Light version doesn't. These are now Installshield versions. Available in the download section.
• Here is a new screenshot of Ultimatrix v0.29 (click here). Look at the portcullis and flags, there are present now !. That version will be available quite soon.

• My deepest sympathy goes out to the families of the thousands of people murdered in a hideous way
• I have nothing else to say today... today is a day of mourning.

• I want to keep you informed that Ultimatrix is on its way. I'm still working on the Ultima 6 Objects and it's progressing well. I give you a new picture of Lord British Castle with the objects (click here) to compare to the previous one i gave you a month ago (click here). Still work to do about flags, clocks...). The Ultima 6 Map can be saved up to scale 1:1 with the objects on it.
• I remind you that  my email is xenerkes@ifrance.com and not xenerkes@chez.com anymore. If you have sent recently mail to the xenerkes@chez.com adress, i didn't receive it. You should send it again, to the new one.
• I've also added a poll to know which utilities you use the most.

• I've just released clean packages of the last updated utilities. There are no more two versions but only one of the Setup and the Launcher. Thus Ultima Launcher v1.3a and Ultima IX:Ascension Extended Setup b6 for Beta Test v2 a are only available and have to work under Windows 98,Windows Me and Windows 2000. Nonetheless it may not work under Windows XP.
• You can also rate my site ;-)
• I've also added pictures in the Ultima Launcher and Xtended Setup sections.

• I was heard that the Ultima Launcher and The Extended Setup often doesn't work under Windows Millenium or Windows 2000. I think i found where it came from. So now you can find for those utilities  a Windows Me/2000 version (v1.3a and v1.0 beta6 beta test 2a) in the download section (it should work as well for the other version of Windows). Don't hesitate to tell me if it still doesn't work, or even if it works now ! I'll try to make a clean package when i come back from my holidays.

• I've just released a new version of the Ultima Launcher v1.3 whichincludes a help file (done by Glenn) and fixes some stuffs. You can download it now !
• As well a new version of Ultima IX: Ascension Extended Setup b6 for Beta Test v2 is out, you can download it and tell me how it works, if it does or not, which improvements you suggest. it's a BETA TEST version so use it at our own risk. You find it as usual in the download section.
• I'm still working at Ultimatrix. Now it can display Ultima 6 Objects on the map ( look at the picture here), but there are still many problems so that i don't release it  publicly yet.
• If you want to send me an email use now this adress : xenerkes@ifrance.com instead of xenerkes@chez.com because the last one often doesn't work.
• I'm going on holidays until the end of august so you can send emails but i won't be able to give a reply soon. You should then use the forums.

• After 3 months of no sign of life, i come back with some news !!
• Ultima IX:Ascension Extended Setup beta 6 will come out very SOON , and you'll be able edit the Keymap file now !! I need some beta testers to give me bug reports and so on before i make it available for everyone, if interested contact me  Xenerkes Dragon
• I've also opened five forums (one for Ultimatrix, one for Ultima Launcher, one for Ultima IX: Ascension Extended Setup, one for Ultima Saved Game Editor and one for other discussions. Don't hesitate to post there to have some information about my utilities or suggestions. It's easier to do something for everyone if I can have some feedback, and each question is interesting for everyone

• I make available all the Ultima 6 NPC Portraits in a new section called  Ultima 6 Headshots.  I took out all this portraits from Ultima compressed files for the Ultima 6 Project Team. You can download all these portraits in the download section.
• I've added Silva Dragon's site and Ultima 6 project remake in my links section.
