OpenSWOS v0.2 — career mode, full audio, multi-platform

Bring your own game files: OpenSWOS ships ZERO original SWOS data. On first run, drop your own SWOS 96/97 Amiga ADFs (and optionally the PC CD image for SFX + commentary + CD music) into the import folder. On Android put them in /storage/emulated/0/Download/OpenSWOS/original_swos_adf/ (grant "All files access" on first launch). Everything is decoded at runtime into a local cache.

Highlights

  • Career mode: persistent world (1730 clubs, ~27k players, real 96/97 ages), faithful SWOS transfers/offers, scouting, staff, finances, form, growth/decline, regens, promotion/relegation, post-match injuries.
  • Full in-match audio (PC SFX + English commentary + crowd/chants; selectable Amiga RJP1 sample bank). Menu music: bundled tracks (default), Amiga original (RJP1 player), or PC CD audio.
  • Android touch controls (emulator-verified): on-screen d-pad that also drives the menus (navigate + confirm + back), FIRE = pass/hold-shot, sits in the black side bars, toggle icon to hide it for gamepad play. On-screen keyboard for text.
  • Menu backdrop art, app icon, energy bars (OPTIONS, default off), throw-in fix, and dozens of play-test fixes.
