Play the wonderful Sensible World of Soccer PC version on the actual computers is often problematic because of the difference of speed, incompatibility with the modern hardware and some others problems related to the configuration; anyway the PC version is the most customizable among the various platforms in which SWOS has been released: not only the teams can be edited, but it's possible to normal play a carrer modality too with the season updated to today and with the correct number of teams. The only problems that are not resolvable regarding the compatibility are related to the sound, then it's probable that you have to play a no-sound version of SWOS, waiting for a definitive and easy solution for this problem. This section will help you through the configuration of a copy perfectly working of SWOS with leagues and teams updated on the basis of the updates produces on this site. The first thing you have to do to play a good PC version of SWOS is to download the DOSbox program that you can find at this link: download and install it, it's useful to run at the best the old games of DOS without problems of compatibily and an impossible game speed. Install DOSbox on your oc, then you can use this configuration properly edited to optimize the performance of SWOS (it has to be put in the main dir of SWOS overwriting an existing file).
Now you can download the updated version of PC SWOS that you can find at the bottom of this section, and that includes the last updates done for the other formats (Yoda and Championship Soccer), of course with the limitation that the teams have maximum 16 players and that is not possible to edit the number of divisions and tournaments present in the game (not at the moment, at least). To install SWOS you have just to download the file at the bottom of this page and unrar it in the directory you wish. When you have unrared SWOS run DOSbox and you will obtain a "Z:\" prompt, now you have to execute the following command: mount c "SWOS PC directory" for example: if you unrared SWOS in the c:\games\swospc directory you have to execute from DOSbox the command: mount c c:\games\swospc. Now, from DOSbox execute:
cd c: Only the first time you run SWOS you have to execut this install, or when you update your game with the updates of this site: with install you can configure controls and audio of the game (the audio on 99% of times doesn't work, so you can try). Now executing the command: sws you can begin playing even the carrer modality. Here you can find the SWOS PC file with the work of the updates.
