This is a repository of the UT99 v400 Android files from "/android/data/com.ast.ut99/files/UT99" The reason I'm uploading these files is so people can play multiplayer cross platform between windows 98 in a VM called 86box and Android! And cause stupid google is restricting access to the android data files too.
Steps to install UT99 v400 Android data files version:
- Download all the zip files.
- Extract them to hard drive in windows 11.
- Download UT99 v400 from here: https://archive.org/download/ut-99_202512/UT99.iso
- Install Daemon tools and then double click UT99.iso
- Open the drive that is UT99 and then double click Setup.exe and install everything except for Directx 7.
- Wait for the installer to finish and then finally go inside your newly installed UT99 folder and copy all the folders inside it.
- Paste inside the extracted folder called UT99v400 and DO NOT replace files.
- Wait for it to finish.
- You're all set for the next instructions!

[EDIT] The sound for windows 98 in VMware needs to be fixed somehow. I got it to play sound but in UT99 it sounds robotic and weird. I Have fixed the audio completely!
Setps to Fix the audio:
- Download this: https://archive.org/download/soundblaster16pcidriverdisk/soundblaster%2016%20pci%20driver%20disk.zip
- Extract it in a folder. Put it in an iso with imgburn.
- Change the CD-ROM in VMware to the sb16 iso you created.
- Change the audio sound card to realtek audio driver.
- Boot up windows 98 and tun the setup.exe file.
- Uncheck all boxes except for Sound Blaster 16.
- Click install/next whichever the button says and follow the onscreen prompts and let windows 98 show a Blue Screen Of Death and just wait for it to disappear.
- The BSOD should pass and say at the bottom of the screen copying files.
- Let it finish copying files and close the setup program. This is notmal.
- Restart the windows 98 VM and go to settings then open control panel from the start menu.
- Double click System and then click on device manager tab at the top of the window.
- click + on Multimedia Audio drivers and click properties then click on driver tab.
- Hit the update driver button and then show all drivers.
- Scroll to Creative brand of drivers and click it.
- Select the driver called "Audio Driver PCI Legacy" and click it and hit the button that says install.
- Wait for it to say restart your system and hit yes.
- Let it restart and your audio driver should be working now!! 😁
- Now finally edit the unreal tournament.ini file and change the audio renderer to WinDrv.WindowsAudioSubsystem
- Save the ini file and start UT99 and open the console by hitting Tilde on your keyboard. Type in "Preferences" and hit enter and it should open advanced settings window.
- Finally hit the + symbol next to audio and change everything from true to false.
- Restart UT99 and the audio should sound good, if not change latency to 45.
