We are proud to present another a remake of an old classic (did
someone say Another World?). One of the best from the glorious
AMIGA era, originally cracked by our old friends in CRYSTAL.
Greets to: Scott (Dulcet Tones) IBM and Harmonica who made CRYSTAL
a first class cracking group.
STORY
2326: Civil war erupts; rival gangs form an ultra-violent
streetsports league called Speedball 2 to settle their deadly
disputes. This sport quickly becomes popular, but without any
rules or regulations also more dangerous. 10 years later,
Speedball has become the national sport and the teams are now
professional and sponsored by well-known brands.
GAMEPLAY
Two teams face each other in bloody battles for a steel ball. Nine
on nine, in an all-out rush on the opponents' goal, almost any
malicious move is permitted. The winner of the matches secures
supremacy over the city.
FEATURES
A brand new multiplayer mode:
Win as much professional matches as you can, join the upper
leagues and unlock new content in the online store.
Customize your Speedball 2 players:
Skin many features of the game such as player's tag, create your
own logo and integrate it into the game. Display it on parts of
the arena playground!
Choose between 3 types of characters:
Male, female and even droid characters will be available.

You must be connected to the internet and you should disable any
firewalls that may interfere with Steam.
* Unpack.
* Mount or burn.
* Start autorun or execute setup.exe from the root folder of the
ISO manually.
* Follow the standard installation process... First Steam will be
installed (install Steam on a drive where you have a lot of free
disk space, Steam will install Speedball2 into a sub-directory
of the steam directory). After this Steam will start updating.
* Now Steam will ask you to "Create new account" or "Login to an
existing account". Just to be on the safe side, we advice you to
create a new account that you use solely for this release. We
aren't sure but it's not unlikely that Steam will eventually be
able to detect and ban those using this release and it would be
a darn shame if your original Steam account got banned because
of this.
* Continue the installation process until you are prompted for a
serial. Now before you proceed you need to do two things:
* Copy "speedball 2 content.ncf" from the "\HATRED\Ncf_files\"
directory to the "\Steam\SteamApps\" directory.
* Start our memory patcher (memorypatcher.exe). Assuming that the
serial-prompt is currently showing you should see the message
"Steam.exe was patched!". You can safely exit memorypatcher.exe
after witnessing this message.
Now you can proceed.
Please enter " " and hit "Next >".
You should now receive the following message:
You already have active subscriptions to the game(s) associated
with this product code.
You don't need to re-enter your product code, you simply need to
log into this Steam account to access your games.
Hit "OK".
* Proceed like normal and you should soon see the screen
"Installing from disk...". Once completed, hit "Finish".
You may need to manually install:
(for 32-bit systems)
\Steam\SteamApps\common\speedball 2\vcredist_x86\vcredist_x86.exe
(for 64-bit systems)
\Steam\SteamApps\common\speedball 2\vcredist_x64\vcredist_x64.exe
You may also need to install DirectX:
\Steam\SteamApps\common\speedball 2\DirectX9\DXSETUP.exe
Now you are almost done, just one thing left.
* Since you can't update Speedball 2: Tournament via the Steam
client you need to manually copy the updated files. So copy
all the files from the "\HATRED\Updated_files\" directory to
the "\Steam\SteamApps\common\speedball 2\" directory.
Now you are ready to play! To start "Speedball 2: Tournament" just
execute the cracked Speedball2.exe.
Don't use the installer-generated desktop shortcut!
MANUAL
We included the manual for this game in the HATRED folder (it's
called manual_EN.pdf).
PLAYING ONLINE:
You can sign up for online playing at:
http://gamecenter.speedball2.com/
The login created here are use ingame.
We are not entirely sure if this works or not. So far we weren't
rejected but neither were we able to successfully join a game.
It may just be a buggy start so keep an eye on it, it may work.
DISCLAIMER:
* You will rely on us (or other DOX groups - hey, free
competition) for updated files when Steam releases
updates for the game since our solution doesn't allow you to
update the game via the Steam client like authorized users do.
* Create a new user as you may get banned or worse.
HATRED does not condone in selling warez of any kind.
HATRED does not respect any p2p networks, NFOrce or
anything to make the scene more public.
HATRED does not believe in using a lesser protected
executable whether it be a steam exe, unprot exe,
demo exe, activemark exe, direct2drive exe or any
other weaker protected exe to make a cheap copy/paste
code exe and then label it as a crack. Nor do we
believe in any other sorts of cheap workarounds.
We greet the respectable groups like:
RELOADED - GENESIS - BACKLASH - DELIGHT - RAZOR1911
