fm2005.mdi? Where do download that from?
The image i downloaded was the one on the first post on this topic. (Download 2)

Sorry, i didn't search before hand, too many pages! :p However, i still win, because I don't have Clone CD installed anyway...what next?

Update: scrap that, it's working now :) ...albeit MUCH slower than normal?

nocd out yet fs ?

Am I the only one that's thinks that this topic has gose out of hand?

Mini-image can be downloaded from GameCopyWorld.
It can be mounted in Alcohol 120% 1.9.5 build 2722 and latest Deamon Tools.

Crack is not arrived. Crack will not be made EVER!

End of story!

Still can't get it to work
 

This is doing my head in!

I've installed the latest patch from the SI web site, I've installed Deamon Tools, I've downloaded the mini image from GCW and extracted it, I've set Deamon to Safedisc, I've mounted the mds file from the GCW site.

But It still comes up with the "Please insert original disc" message..... what have I missed?? People on this thread have mentioned an mdi file, but the extract from GCW has an mdf file and an mds file, am I using the right one? Do I need to put it in a specific place?

Any help greatly appreciated.....

Right this is the situation regarding a No-Cd Crack For V.5.0.5.

I ahve searched over 1000 sits through google looking for this crack,and also on "other means",which shall remain nameless,but you guys know what i mean.

And i have found nothing.

Somone told me that in fact there was a NO-Cd Crack for this game,but there is'nt.

Why no oe has made this crack,only the person who makes these cracks has the answer...............So i put out a plea....................................

Please,somone who is good at this kind of thing.Could you make one.
The Mini-Image i causing so many problems for other people,that it is not funny.

There must be more than one person who can make this crack,surely.

So come on,I am asking in the most nicest way any person could be asked.

Whoever makes this will be a hero wil thousands of people through out the land.

Thankyou In Advance (To the person who decides to make this No-Cd Craco for V.5.0.5 of Football Manager 2005).

Thanks. :D

i hear you brother!! can someone please sort this out? ta in advance

does anybody know who made the 5.0.2 nocd

perhaps we could get him to update it for 5.0.5 :(

nice plea aswell frankie :(

1. Mini images are much easier to do than no-CD patches. Also, mini images work with _any_ version of the game (unless a new update manages to incorporate some code that can detect the different between an original CD/DVD and a mini image), while no-CD patches have to be done for each and every update. Furthermore, mini images contain all the information needed to fool the copy protection into thinking it's running off an original CD/DVD, while a no-CD patch includes getting rid of all the small details of copy protection entangled, sometimes in a quite nasty way, into the software. You shouldn't be surprised, therefore, that, for some games, only mini images exist, no-CD patches don't.

2. I don't think there's _any_ professional cracker, who does no-CD patches for today's commercial copy protections, is reading this forum. So, your whining is completely useless...

3. _All_ files, hosted by GCW, _can_ be downloaded. If you get the "file is too old" error message, try _all_ mirrors and _all_ submirrors of mirror #1. If you still get the message, try again in a few hours/days - the file might be down because of maintenance.

nocd creation is the same for every patch surely ?

there was one for the out of the box version , and one for 5.0.2

why not 5.0.3/5.0.5 :(

Hey AdamCW2k4,

Please, note that hacking and cracking is an art, with lots of improvization and manual work, not an automated process, like pipelines in the car factory.
