I've had a go at creating a PKGBUILD for the latest version. It's based on your original + the install file they provide.

It seems to run but then crashes out with xu4: error: Unable to obtain OpenGL resource (gui.png)

FYI Ultima IV is now listed as supported (some Ultima games are not):

This doesn't appear to be officially released as part of ScummVM so I'll leave this here for now. Once it is officially released I'll request deletion of this package.

xu4 development has shifted over to ScummVM. Flagged out of date as such.

Download is working for me (or it's working again)? I'm not sure how using archive.org will play with the permission to distribute...

alan1world commented on 2020-05-22 03:20 (UTC)

Download location has gone again.

But is available on archive.org:
