 This install applies to "Sierra Soccer: World Challenge Edition" © 1994 Dynamix.

 Requirements:
 -------------
 This install requires WHDLoad to be in the path.
 This program can be found in the WHDLoad package.
 To install from a different drive than DF0: select installation mode Expert.

 The installed game requires 0.5 MB ChipMem and 1.0 MB OtherMem (+1.7 MB for preload). 
 It can be quit by pressing Del (key can be changed with Tooltype "QuitKey=").


 Features:
 ---------
 - Full load from HD
 - Protection removed (manual check, checksum)
 - DMA wait in replayers fixed (x8)
 - Interrupt problems fixed
 - Keyboard routines fixed
 - OS stuff patched
 - Copperlist/DMA bug fixed
 - Custom1 can be used to skip the intro
 - Source included as usual
 - NewIcon (created by me)
 - Quit option that works on 68000 machines (default key is 'Del')

 Here's the new and shiny patch for Sierra Soccer which was requested by quite
 a few people. The old one wasn't very good (sorry Jeff!), it
 had several problems. Major problem was that the protection wasn't removed
 correctly, the checksum check wasn't removed thus the game crashed after
 some time! This is now fixed, I have completely removed the manual protection
 screen and the checksum check has been obliterated too of course!

 The other problem was the music which played way too fast. This was an interrupt
 problem, the game triggered a copper interrupt in the copperlists, due to this
 the normal vblank interrupt was never acknowledged thus the music played way
 too fast.

 The intro wasn't supported in the old patch either, now it is! If you want to
 boot straight into the game you can use the Custom1=1 toolytpe, the intro will
 be skipped then.

 I have also patched all OS calls so this patch works without a Kickstart Rom!

 If you want to load or save just click on any of the drive buttons (df0: - df3:)
 they will all work, the data will of course be saved to your HD.


 Except for the mentioned problems the game is quite well coded and one of the
 better football games out there. Enjoy it from HD now.
