Short:    HD-Installer for Rugby: The World Cup V1.2
Author:   Codetapper/Action (codetapper@hotmail.com)
Uploader: Codetapper/Action (codetapper@hotmail.com)
Version:  1.2
Type:     game/patch
Requires: WHDLoad 10, 512k chip mem

This patch applies to "Rugby: The World Cup" (c) 1991 Domark - 1 disk.
Supported versions: SPS 258 (Carlo Pirri)
                    SPS 3730 (Irek Kloska)

REQUIREMENTS:
- Slave requires WHDLoad V10+.
- Game requires 0.5Mb chip mem (+0.9Mb other memory for preload option)

FEATURES: (01-Jun-2000)
- Full load from HD
- Blitter waits inserted (x12)
- Snoop problems and broken delays fixed
- RomIcon, NewIcon and GlowIcon (created by me!)
- Quit option (default key is '*' on keypad)

VERSION 1.1: (24-Mar-2002)
- Decruncher relocated to fast memory
- Instructions included
- Snoop problems and broken delays fixed
- All icons reworked with a better selected image
- 2 Exoticons included (taken from http://exotica.fix.no)

VERSION 1.2: (03-Dec-2012)
- Added support for SPS 3730 (thanks to Irek)
- Fixed empty DBF loops in music replayer
- Stack relocated to fast memory
- Quit key changed to 'F10'

From what I can tell, SPS 3730 seems to be an earlier and more buggy version
compared to SPS 258:

- There is no demo mode
- The Domark logo is different
- The instruction screen while loading and decrunching is not there
- The game requires more waggling to win scrums
- You can't power up a kick in a different direction to your running direction
- Tackles instantly switch to a scrum without any warning or chance to steal
  the ball
- On one occassion the game became confused and the screen stayed centred on
  a particular player, even though he did not have the ball. The ball was 
  kicked up the pitch and yet the screen did not scroll to follow it! I could
  not duplicate this bug!
- Yet one piece of code that works in SPS 3730 causes an access fault in SPS 
  258 due to an incorrect branch instruction

Greetings to Carlo and Irek for sending the originals, all Action members,
