Install on android

Requirement

• The game data dump with android and db directories. You can download it here:
  • Google drive : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DkJTZTH7w4zVNdJGkZZZeSwrPAi-MqTx/view?usp=drive_link
  • Torrent : https://www.xele.org/UMO_ZipFiles.torrent
• Android : An Android phone compatible with ARM7 apks. Some emulators or x86 phones can possibly run it too if they use libhoudini.

Installation

• Install the game apk on your Android device. Your device may require you to allow the installation of untrusted apks.

Then for the data dump (game resource files), use one of the below methods.

Method 1 (faster and easier)

• Extract and copy the data & mx folders directly to your device at this location: Android/data/com.UtaMacrossOffline.UtaMacrossOffline/files/

Note: You may not be able to use this method on Android 11 and above because the data folder is locked. If this is the case, try method 2.

Method 2 (If you can't directly access the folder at Android/data)

• On your PC, download one of the UMOServer zip files (Linux or Windows) from the release page and extract it.
• Also on your PC, download and extract the game data dump called UtaMacrossDataArchive.zip
• Get the file titled UtaMacrossDataArchivePCPatch.zip from https://drive.google.com/file/d/1AVh205ldMWKijHWwbE-M1FN8d0kg0w-6/view?usp=drive_link and copy the db folder into the data folder of the game data dump, so you have the android and db folders as follows:

• On your Android device, run the game apk. The first time you run the game, it will need to download the resource files from the data dump that you downloaded and extracted to your PC. A pop-up will open telling you to run the server. Do so on a PC on your local network. To do so:
  • Run the UMOServer executable you downloaded earlier.
  • In the input box at the top of the UMOServer window, input the file path where you put the game data (the folder containing the android & db folders). Use this format: [drive letter]:/[folder name]/data (See the next screenshot below for an example)
  • Click the Start Server button. On Windows, you may need to accept the firewall security. (The server uses port 8000, set server discovery by broadcast to use port 8001).

• The log underneath should display "Ready."
• Your Android device and the server (your PC) should be on the same local network. If they are, your device should auto-detect the server and download the data. Once the download is finished and the main screen appears, you can close the server.
• If the game doesn't find the server, click the cancel button and enter the local IP of the PC running the server.
• The game can freeze during download, just restart it.

UMO settings/Starting events

Settings and starting events can be done from the config pop-up. You can access it by tapping the game controller button on the title screen.

Troubleshooting :

• The game might crash or stuff might display incorrectly because there was an error when downloading the data dump file. If you used an encrypted version of the data, you can force a recheck of the files by tapping on the game controller icon on the title screen, and selecting the option to force recheck and start the game. It will recheck all files (which takes a long time). If you use the decrypted version of the data, all the files will be redownloaded. This is because the game expects the encrypted data for data comparison. This will be fixed at a later date.
