xu4 is an attempt to allow Ultima 4 to operate in a modern machine environment, in a similar way to Exult.
Virtue of Humility is an attempt to recreate Ultima 4 in Dark Basic, and will not be as faithful to the original as xu4, since an additional adventure will be added.
Avatarship is a complete remake of Ultima 4 for Neverwinter Nights. Although its website is down at the moment, you can get it from its project page.
