Awesome work! Tested on Tiger 10.4.11 G4 with logic 6.4.3

I believe you use a Serial cable (Printer) from the 1st unit to the additional units to combine them as one big unit in OS9. Meaning one USB to your Mac from the first unit the rest daisy chained with the printer cable

Hello!

Also, I was having the issue where I wasn't able to see other UT internet servers via the browser, but I was able to fix by removing the following line from UnrealTournament.ini under the "UBrowserAll" header (since unreal.epicgames.com was resolving to 0.0.0.0, I'm thinking it was preventing the found servers from being displayed):
  ListFactories[0]=UBrowser.UBrowserGSpyFact,MasterServerAddress=unreal.epicgames.com,MasterServerTCPPort=28900,Region=0,GameName=ut

I've tried connecting to other version 436 servers, and while I was able to download the custom assets from each, it wouldn't get past the "Connecting" screen with the white text of the server's address, and would not show the blue "Connecting" text.

At least with directly connecting to games.macos9lives.com, it would show the "connection failed" screen after ~15 seconds of the white-text connection screen with the blue "Connecting" text shown in the lower third of the screen. The screen also flashed a red tint when the blue "Connecting" text appeared, which connecting to the other servers did not do.

I'm going to try to play with the timeout duration settings more, it's definitely an issue on my side and I feel like I'm close to figuring this out...

Here's my transcribed log from attempting to join, I had to video it since the Message Log window can't be resized or scrolled (and please let me know if there's forum code to collapse this!):

I found out how to show the log Message Window - from the UT main menu, click the Fullscreen/Windowed button in the upper-right corner of the screen to set the game into windowed mode, then select "Show Log" from the main menu's Tools menubar. The Message Log window should appear somewhere.

I'll try to transcribe my log of connecting to the games.macos9lives.com server, since it's not letting me copy/paste from the log for some reason.

Welcome back!

Hm.... I'll have a look

I just tried connecting to the games.macos9lives.com server with version 436 and got "Connection Failed" after about 15 seconds of it showing the "Connecting" screen.

I've also followed the steps on the 333networks page, and was able to download the custom Unreal assets through the games.macos9lives.com server in UT (I forget which ones it said, but there were a few and they all transferred successfully).

It seems to get almost all the way to succesful connection before I get the "Connection Failed" screen. It's not giving me any logs (no files in the Logs folder and the "Show Log" option from the UT main menu does nothing) so I'm not sure where it's failing. I've tried increasing the networking timeouts on my end, but so far no dice.
