How big is the file containing the highscore/save data ? If the file is a fixed size, then writing its contents without ProDOS resident is actually pretty straightforward, assuming you have a loader program that has access to ProDOS beforehand, and you store save data in its own file.

Yes, I realized afterwards that your idea might be possible, but the game isn't a true single-loader - the highscores are read into memory before being updated and then written out again. Presumably, the overwritten content is also read back again later. Still, it's worth investigating further.

Hi qkumba. This thread is a few years old so the temporary links are of course long expired. Where is the best place to find a recent update of the Ultima4 ProDOS conversion? I was trying to use the one on Azimov but theirs is older and is one of the known-buggy versions.

Yes, but in future, please use the ProDOS ports request thread.
