SpeedBall 2 is © Renegade.

--- Magic Pockets Hard Disk Installer ---

This installer requires the Speedball 2 original disk.
Only one version is supported for the moment: the 'RENEGADE PRESENTS' version
(the re-edition). The 'IMAGEWORKS PRESENTS' version (edited by imageworks)
is not supported yet. Contact the author if you want it to be.

Features:

- Loads fully from HD
- Possibility to quit the game during the intro or the game part (F10)
- MOVEP instructions converted (crashes for 68060 users).
- Copy-protection caused 68060 crashes. Removed.

To do:

- Load/Save goals,league,cup data from hard drive, with bank selection.

The HD-Patched game will need about 2Mb of memory.
It should work on ALL Kickstarts and ALL CPUs (up to '060).
The game was also patched for NTSC users and has got a quit option
(Available provided you've got at least 3Mb of memory).

Report me any bugs you'll find.

F10  : Quit the game

Don't forget to set the tooltype to NTSC if you run the game from a PAL machine.

Note: I created and tested this package with a A1200/060/50 16Mb, so there should
be no problems for all 680x0 CPUs (caches,chipset...). It degrades display properly
so Multiscan users won't have any sprite or screen problem.

You can modify the installer script to install disks from DF1:, DF2: or DF3: instead
of DF0: by changing the unit in the disk2file arguments.

If you find some bugs, or the game crashes, please e-mail me (specify your
configuration).
I'm also looking for people who could send me original disks for me to patch them
for 680x0 or write HD-Installers (please, not for cracked versions).
E-mail me if you're interested, or if you simply like this installer.

Enjoy this GREAT game from The Bitmap Bros. on your HD.

Jeff
