oOo Install Notes oOo

Using WinRAR, UnRar to a  directory and unzip CRACK.ZIP.  You will need to
add  the two registry  files, REG1.REG  and REG2.REG,  to your registry by
either double clicking on them, doing  a RUN REG1.REG and RUN REG2.REG, or
going into the registry itself and doing an IMPORT.  You will then need to
go to HKEY_CURRENT_USERS, SOFTWARE,  ACCOLADE, LEGENDS 98,  and change the
Base Path  & CD Path  to the directory  you UnRared to.  Make  sure a \ is
added  after the  directory  in the  CD Path.  Basically  follow  the same
format the directories which are there are in.  Close the registry and run
LEGEND98.EXE  to play  the game.  Once  the  game  is loaded, go  to  GAME
OPTIONS, SOUND  LEVEL, and turn  Play by  Play OFF.  Not  doing this  will
cause the game to crash the first time the Commentator speaks.  The change
will be  saved, so only do  it once.  The Player Editor is  located in the
\GAME\PLAYS directory  and is called PLAYEDIT.EXE  The explanation for why
it was done this way is almost as complicated as the install instructions.
What it boiled down to  was you would have needed an EXTRA  600 megs to do
a COMPLETE install through the windows setup.  Not many  people have 1 GIG
free at any  one given time, which  would have made  it more difficult  to
install this game  on your average machine.  The reason WinRAR was used is
there are over 4000 files in this  game, and RAR for DOS could not seem to
handle that man.  ARJ for DOS compressed  it fine, but  when decompressing
it would  error out around  disk 55 so you  would  have to stop, and  then
start decompressing  again from .A54  instead of .ARJ.  While I am telling
you  all this, I might as well  explain how this  was ripped and  what was
removed.  The INTRO.SMK was the first thing to go, which was replaced with
a dummy file.  Second  was the play by  play file, COMMENT.FIL (110 Megs).
Third was the music which was  about 20 .WAV files which were used for the
different ERAs in the game. The 1930's had a few, the 60's had a few, etc.
These only played during the setting up/loading of a game.  Fourth was the
Stadium animations and picture files.  These were  played right before the
game would start and were replaced with a black and white screen. Removing
any of the above files would lead to the game crashing, so the call to the
files had to be  patched in the .EXE  A patch  for the game to  update the
stats will be made available on Accolades web page in the coming months so
be sure to check for that.
