A whdload version would indeed be much appreciated

Well, it works fine with the WHDLoad version of SWOS 96/97. At least with 020/30 CPUs there is no slowdown. Not sure if the career mode is still broken in this season update. Just uploaded it to the Zone!

Great!

Thank you!

Great job on the names etc

Upon loading i did notice on the English league you put it as

PREMIER LEAGUE
LEAGUE 1
LEAGUE 2
LEAGUE 3

Where as the correct league names are;

PREMIER LEAGUE
CHAMPIONSHIP
LEAGUE 1
LEAGUE 2

Great job none the less guys!

Tested on real Amiga 500+ MTec 68020 total 10MB RAM Kickstart 3.1 - Working with 16/17 *.

Testing on Amiga 600 Emulated floppy device with 1MB only on SWOS96-97 (it works) how is it possible to get this to work on this, can I just copy the files over with data and graphs? or do I need all files like ssboot swos ect?

*Notice that career mode says on my systems that I'am on Year 96/97 on the 16/17 files?

I'm pretty sure the league names haven't been changed at all. They still use the old names (Premier League, Division 1, Division 2 and Division 3). I'm pretty sure these are the original values from the 1996 release and are hard coded into the game.

I just decompressed the lha and then copied all the new files over those in my SWOS 13/14 install. It worked perfectly after that on my 060 A1200 with the NOCACHE tooltype.

[tolkien]

I have copied the files over a 96-97 whdload version and works perfectly in my 060. Thanks!

[other_reality]

Is the whdload version working with 060, or it works only with this update on ypur 060 guys ?

I've been unable to run swos 96-97 properly on my 4000t 060 for years now, tell me it's fixed !!

[tolkien]

In my Amiga 1200 060 both of them works well. The 96-97 whdload version and the same version with these 2016-2017 files.

We've fixed many bugs, including:
- Career mode crashed sometimes, including Greece
- Player name typos
- Players having wrong nationalities
- Wrong positions in teams
- Wrong bench orders
- And much more...

No, those league names can be edited, but only with same or shorter length!
Now, that's a problem for many league names, so we've decided to leave that untouched and original, instead of doing something half-baked!

You need to copy the data & grafs folder and SWOS2 file! That will do fine!

Sorry, it's impossible to change the starting year for career on Amiga, by default.
You can (hex-)edit a saved career file, though!

Hmmm, it looks like I wasn't the only one having trouble unpacking it. What was it packed with? XADMaster throws strange errors for me, though the lha command seemed to work fine. However, it didn't run at all, and since I had some friends around to play it I couldn't spend any time tinkering to try and fix it, so we switched to '96/'97 instead.

I haven't looked at it since, but that's on an A1200 running OS3.9 with a Blizzard1230 IV, 32MB RAM, 60GB HD and a CD-ROM drive, which I would've thought is a pretty ordinary configuration.
