I am currently looking for a nocd-patch.

The game was released yesterday. Hope somebody has been working on it.

Thanks in advance.

I'm assuming Fussball Manager 2004 is the German name for Total Club Manager 2004 (Also released this week). Try using the crack for that game on your game.

Yep, you are right. FM2004 is the German TCM2004.

Thanks, I will try the TCM ones and post my results... :)

Why is it protected with CD-Checks? That isn't like EA Sports.... I was suspecting SafeDisc 3.15 or something.... and ar the game in 2 CD:s? Like I said, EA have releas a ground breaking game. Other game is protected with SafeDisc.....this one have CD-Checks and Total Club Manager 2003 is only 1 CD.....this one have 2 discs..:eek:

Hm, I think, the english crack doesn't work with the german version...I overwrite the "GFXCORE.DLL" with that one from Deviance Release, but when I start the game, I get the "please insert cd....." message...Or is this one not a nocd-crack?

Does somebody have a crack, that works with the german version of tcm...(nocd, not for backup...)? thx in advance...

sorry for my bad english :(.

Didnt work for me either. So I did a backup of my game with clonecd and clonyxxl.

CD1 is no problem as it is the setup cd. CD2 copied well but when I start the game with the genuine gfcore.dll it stops with the EA Sports FM 2004 splash screen.

So seems as if we have to wait for the nocd.

Is anyone working on it yet?

Thanks in advance.

still need a fresh report on what protection it realy is. Splashscreen and CD-checks... with some .dll file... this sounds wierd.. :p

Hm, I read in an other Forum, that the FM 2004 / TCM 2004 is SafeDisc 2.9 protected and the protection is only on CD 2 (the game CD). But I don't know whether this is correct...

I hope, somebody will release a nocd crack for this game...
wildsau

Yep, that's correct. Dont remember exactly about the copy protection, but afaik it's SD 2.9.

So when I copied CD2 with CloneCD and ClonyXXL setting (8 skulls) I had no probs. But when I booted the game it hang up on the splash screen without any error message at all.

As I said before the tcm-crack had not been applied yet!

So, it works now on my PC...

I make an ISO-Image of CD 2 with "Alcohol 120%" and "Safedisc 2" Option, then I mount it with "Daemon Tools" and it works fine here, no freezes, nothing!

splash screen should be safedisc3 with the message
'Please insert...'

Sounds fine! Which Alcohol version are you running? I am not too familiar with it and have never seen a "safedisc 2"-option...

I use "Alcohol 120% Version 1_4_7 Build 1005"!

Update 1.1 has just been released.

So I think the Daemon-Tools solution is the most apropriate one.

28-11-2003, 05:55
what is the "daemon tool solution"
i made an image of cd 2 and what to do now?
TheVisitorX
28-11-2003, 06:05
Make an image with Alcohol 120 % (data type SafeDisc2)(bin/cue)...then download and install "Daemon Tools"...start "Daemon Tools"...right click on the red icon and then "Virtual CD/DVD Rom" -> Device x: -> Mount image and then search/select the FM 2004 image on your HD...done! The CD 2 is now in the virtual cd/dvd drive and you can play the game by click on the *.exe :-).

FFS this works! Great.

I did it with an ISO-file but it works anyway.

So I a waiting for the big megapatch with all the data and the Oberligen and will start the game then!

Danke schön! ;)

Only works if you do a 1:1 image from your ORIGNAL CD!
