The following is a description on how to patch "Speedball 2"
to disable the need to look something up in the manual when you
start the game. Make sure and do this procedure on a BACKUP and
not your original disk. Copy the files SB2_UNP.BAT, SB2_UNP.DAT,
and SB2T_UNP.DAT (included with this file) to the same disk and
directory as your "SB2" program. The DOS program DEBUG must also
be copied to the same location or be available along your PATH.

Then just run the BAT file at the DOS prompt:

SB2_UNP

Now the protection check will be bypassed and the game will
start without interuption. This patch worked with the SB2.EXE
file that was 40,646 bytes in size and the TANDY.EXE file that
was 40,442 bytes in size.

Have fun, Scumbucket!
