- A demo is available from ScummVM.

Essential improvements
Backyard Sports Online
- Allows to connect to the new modern game servers with the use of a special ScummVM build.
- One of the features may be unavailable (e.g. coach's statistics, news, and polls) in the new servers.
- Other platforms outside of Windows and Mac will need to compile ScummVM from this source code
Disable Online Functionality
- This will disable most discontinued online functionalities for the original interpreter, in that case if not using ScummVM.
- Removes the DirectPlay legacy component requirement if running on Windows 10 or later if the dummy DPLAYX DLL is applied.
Apply dummy DPLAYX, replace FOOTBALL.U32 with modified version, and delete unneeded files |
