 This install applies to "Kick Off 2 - The Final Whistle" © 1991 Anco.

 Requirements:
 -------------
 This install requires WHDLoad and DIC to be in the path.
 These programs 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 0.5 MB OtherMem. 
 It can be quit by pressing Del (key can be changed with Tooltype "QuitKey=").


 Features:
 ---------
 - Full load from HD
 - 5 versions supported (Competition version, 2 different 1.9e versions, 1.9f, 2.1e)
 - Load/Save from data disk supported
 - Protection removed (9xchecksums, 7xdisk checks, 1xcheck for Kick Off2 disk,
                       1x "Cobra X-Rom" encryption)
 - Invalid copperlist entry fixed (x1)
 - Access faults fixed
 - Empty dbf loop in keyboard routine fixed
 - Automatic creation of data disk (see below)
 - NewIcon and OS3.5+ colour icon (created by KillerGorilla and Irek'72)
 - Quit option that works on 68000 machines (default key is 'Del')

 
 This install started as a request for a WHDLoad patch for the Final Whistle
 competition version by lolafg on EAB. After I finished it I just added
 support for the original v1.9e and 2.1e versions and the result is
 this patch. :)
 Just like Return to Europe this one wasn't hard to do except for the
 loading from data disk as Dino Dini changed the code in a way that the
 game won't tell you to insert a data disk before loading. No idea why
 and IMHO that's a bug! Anyway, it all works fine now so enjoy this
 classic from HD.

 If you already have a data/tactics disk create an image of it using
 tools like DIC (can be found in the WHDLoad package), rename
 the image to "disk.8" if it's a tactics disk or to "disk.9" if
 it is a data disk and copy it to the installation directory.
 If you want to import Player Manager teams you need to create
 an image of your Player Manager save disk and rename it to
 "disk.9".
 
 If no data or tactics disk is found it will be created, this feature
 can be disabled with the CUSTOM1=1 tooltype.

 Have fun with this game from HD now.
 Love and peace, Sting, 29-Nov-2022
