I have now updated the translation to version 1.2.
It can be found at the the following download link:
(
http://www.zaqmusic.com/UU/UU_REV1_ENG_PATCH.zip)
It fixes the bug with Shak´s repair dialog on lvl2.
The control sheet has been updated with "Skip cutscene", but I couldn´t verify Select for splitting item stacks.
I have tested the Tyball video with your save files on Mednafen with the initial version of the rom but couldn´t reproduce a crash or aberrant behaviour.
From the 1.2 release on, I decided to only support the Rev1 version of the game rom.
By this I want to make sure it has a s few bugs as possible for future players.
With romhacking.net shutting down I have uploaded the releases also to the project´s GitHub page:

I guess my iso is corrupted in some way, I've tried updating Mednafen but it still crashes there.
As for stacks, when on level 2 I tried splitting gold from the inventory I couldn't do it, the only way to split it was by dropping it and then picking up, but once I pressed select or it's combination with something it got fixed. I've tried now to replicate this, but couldn't do it either, so it might have been another bug.

Hello Gertius, and thank you so much for doing the work to create this patch!
I first found the demo for this game when I was about 12 years old and have been facinated by it ever since. I played through the demo so many times just waiting for when I could get the full game. Then when I did - WOW! 8 whole levels? So much to explore! I played all the versions I could, was a little disappointed that they were all more-or-less the same. I found out about the Japanese PS1 version, and started it several times, but just couldn't get past all the Japanese. When I heard there was a fan-made English patch I thought, finally, I will be to give it a try.
Again, thank you so much for all the work you put into making this happen.
I've played through the game and made notes on the differences between it and the standard PC version. I just posted a thread to disuss that here:

Hi Sir Robin,
thanks for checking out the translation and for your kind words!
I am happy that another UW fan got enjoyment out of the translation. It was a lot of work, but also a lot of fun to create it.
As I wrote above I am also a big fan of Ultima Underworld.
I felt happy and blessed to subsequentially find all the infos and clear all the showstoppers to be able to make the translation happen.
I´ll check out your other thread too.
Cheers,
Gertius

In a late response to Mawxiwtz, it could be that triggering the Shak bug, which is now fixed, corrupted your gamestate somehow.
I encountered a similar thing when I fixed the bandit´s dialog on level 3. Triggering the dialog bug led to memory corruption and even crashes thereafter.
The bandit´s dialog bug and Shak´s dialog bug are both fixed since version 1.1 and 1.2.
On top of that I switched the release to the Rev1 of the game ROM, hoping to get rid of any bugs that may have made the Rev1 release necessary from the original developers.
