What's a while?

Part of a match, a full match, three matches?

I can test but need better details / information.

During the first match (few min. playable)

Why the above?

If you're unsure of Amiga model specs then always use Quickstarts to start with.

Results so far:

Sierra Soccer - World Challenge Edition (1994)(Sierra)(M3)(Disk 2 of 2)[cr S8][bootable].zip -> bad crack
Sierra Soccer - World Challenge Edition (1994)(Sierra)(M3)(Disk 2 of 2)[cr FLT][a2][bootable].zip -> bad crack
Sierra Soccer - World Challenge Edition (1994)(Sierra)(M3)(Disk 2 of 2)[cr FLT][a][bootable].zip -> bad crack
Sierra Soccer - World Challenge Edition (1994)(Sierra)(M3)(Disk 2 of 2)[cr FLT][bootable].zip -> bad crack
Sierra Soccer - World Challenge Edition (1994)(Sierra)(M3)(Disk 2 of 2)[cr PDX][bootable].zip -> bad crack

Apparently all cracked versions on the file server aren't working properly. There definitely was a working version FLT version of Sierra Soccer though, the archive had a wrong name (it was named disk 1 but was actually disk 2), I'll see if I still have it somewhere.

For now you should use the WHDLoad version if you want to play the game.

Oh wow, not good

Would be great if you could find the working FLT version Sting

Thanks Don

So after going through that thread and the TOSEC correction one; it seems to be this renamed file:

All "The Zone Crew" versions should be removed since they are the FLT version with the crack intro removed! Such crap shouldn't be preserved at all.

Removing is not allowed, so its [cr FLT][h Zone Crew]

Sierra Soccer - World Challenge Edition (1994)(Sierra)(M3)(Disk 2 of 2)[cr FLT][h Zone Crew][bootable].zip [CRC32: F1324CF0]

[StingRay]

Not, it's not the working version, is as badly cracked as all others. I'll need to check my backup drives sometime this week, I might still have that version somewhere.

Huh, but that's the one you posted about back in the day™?

[StingRay]

Nope! CRC32: F1324CF0 vs. 92A9410A

Sorry yeah, so 92A9410A is the CRC32 of the good cracked version as detailed in your quoted post...

[DamienD]

So I've checked every single "Sierra Soccer" file on the EAB File Server.

...and also every single "Sierra Soccer" file on PlanetEmu (older collection).

Unfortunately none of the files match CRC32 92A9410A

[StingRay]

The "Zone Crew" versions are just lame modifications of the FLT version (remove the FLT intro, claim "100%" and release "your" version).

I'll check my drives later this week. If I can't find that file I'll simply create a new Sierra Soccer crack from scratch.

No improvement. It crashes immediately

Yes, as StingRay has said, it's the wrong CRC32...

I just followed old posts in another + the TOSEC correction thread in order to try to work out which disk StingRay was originally talking about; that got renamed.

Perfect

sierra_soccer___world_challenge_edition_(1994)(sierra)(m3)(disk_1_of_2)[cr_flt]-amiga (92A9410A)

It seems no one owned this disk in the past.

This disk is just a mystery!

I will not comment that. But thanks for your valuable contribution to this thread, appreciated!

it is not necessary either, just find the disk with those specific crc32 to proof me wrong.



At least it was a release, which was not well spread, maybe a private release!?

This removes the checksum which makes the game guru once you reach the
CHALLENGE PROGRESS screens. To get that far you have to win or at least
get second place in the group matches. Once you get there, the checksum
was calculated and while playing it would guru the machine.

Anyway enjoy this game it really is very nice indeed otherwise I wouldn't
have bothered with it.


FLT England.

If there was really a working FLT version, then there must be another crack patch, since all TOSEC FLT versions are based on this crack patch, which is not properly cracked in your opinion!
