No u cant not with out the crack for that patch.

anyways........................................... ....

I have one question to those who are having problems with the mini-image.

Are you downloading the 5.0.5 patch then trying to use mini-image ?

because i think that is the problem.I downloaded 5.0.3,and it works fine,but with 5.0.5,it dont work.
So the only way to fix this is for the guys to amke another mini-image,but usuing the 5.0.5 patch this time.

@Nickeless Cage
And why not?

FM2005 no cd for the Mac
 

I'm probably going to get lambasted for this, but do all these Mini-Image, Daemon Tools procedures also apply for the Mac? :cool:

ok. i saw frankie had written about this so i gave it a shot. i downloaded patch 5.0.5 and installed it. then i re-downloaded the no-cd for version 5.0.2. and replaced the exe file. it worked! still says its version 5.0.2 but in a new game all the updates have worked. give it a shot and enjoy!

hopoe it works

I'm not quite sure you are supposed to do that because:

1. I installed the 5.0.3 patch WITH data updates.
2. Used the mini-image. Everything worked nice.
3. 5.0.5 came out without data and with data updates HOWEVER to users who have 5.0.3 with data update you are only required to download the 5.0.5 fm2005.exe which is offered over at the sigames forums by the SIGames staff.
4. Mini-image works with the fm2005.exe 5.0.5


So that means that the 4 changes that are in 5.0.5 compared to 5.0.3 are within the executable. Which means using the 5.0.2 no-cd crack will mean you are missing out on some fixes.

to be honest i am only doing it just now until my wee brother gets our (original) cd off his bloody mate that he gave it too who has it with him in bloody america using it on his lap top whilst he is working. the mini image doesnt work for me because i am not prepared to uninstall clone cd etc. when i get my cd back i am planning on uninstalling the game, reinstalling and only updating to the 5.0.2 patch and leaving it at that cos i didnt have any grumbles with the game with that patch. if another noCD crack appears then i will update. if not then im not overly bothered...

I'm having a problem with this.
When i follow your options i get to number 3) and it says Device 0:[E:] No media

What do i do now??

click on where it says no media select the file you downloaded on the pop up box,,,i think.

Is anybody experiancing massive amounts of computer and football manager slowdown when using this method (mini image) (usage 75%+), PC is 256mb DDR and 2.6ghz.

Secondly,,, does online play work with this crack/any crack/even with a CD??

The mini image should work for online play

Sorry, don't understand what you mean??

nocd out yet ?

Help!!!!!!!

I really am struggling to get this patch to work.

I've got daemon tools and i have the mini image (i think - the shortcut is entitled fm2005mini.rar)

When i go to the top of the menu - virtual CD/DVD-ROM and then it says "Device 0: [E:] no media and then i go to mount image but can't find the correct file.

Where am i going wrong?

Can someone give me a SIMPLE walk along insruction?

Thanks, Andy

grrrrrr
 

I've tried this Mini Image, got it all mounted succesfully in Daemon tools, but I still can't run the game - I get something along the lines of "CD/DVD emulation software detected, please unload" - this is coming from someone who has the PROPER FULL GAME and I can't even play a game i paid for!! If i try it using the normal method, of just inserting the FM CD and running the game from my desktop, i get the CD emulation error message still. I've tried unloading everything (and i mean everything) with no luck. What can i do? How would this mini-image work anyway, because it uses Daemon, but FM doesn't load up when Daemon tools is detected?

Thanks for any help or info

have you downloaded the fm2005.mdi???

then open daamon tools > Virtual DVD Rom > MOUNT ON DRIVE > select your fm2005.mdi (the one you downloaded from gcw...

then the fm2005 folder will appear.. leave that alone and just start your fm game..

I don't know how often this was explained in this forum...
UNINSTALL CLONECD !!!

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.....

R

Yes but where is the image on GameCopyWorld???

THe downloads have expired for the mirror images. does anyone no where i can get one? thanks in advance

I have tried to use deamon tools like you suggested but launching the fm2005.exe file it doesn't come nothing, only a little white page without any words written and a white point in the center of the monitor.....

after few minutes i wait, it comes the classical windows errror

i have o clone cd installled

what should i do?

any of u guys using MCFM save game editor ? coz i can't make it work with the mini image ?

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.

Joe

from where ???!!!!
 

from where to download that mini image ?

sigh

As everyone on here keeps saying," Buy The ****ing Game !!!! "

Then u wont need the mini-image now will you ! No you wont ! :cool:

If you keep asking these thigns i think you will get banned.They seems to ban people for nothing on here so be carefull,Very carefull !!!!!

any news

surely somebody knows someone capable

AdamCW2k4, stop bumping and read forum rule #8 instead!

help!!
I 've installed 5.05 patch and runned the image with daemon and everything seemed to work properly. I can play my previous games but i can't start a new one. It stops loading in "setting up manager shortlists". Does anyone know what can I do!? :confused: :confused: :confused:
Thx in advance

differences?
 

whats is the diff between fm2005.mdi and the one downloaded from GCW webbie in which the filename is FM2005CD2.mdf (3-4mb) and FM2005CD2.mds (486b)?
So in conclusion, i open daemon, set the folder, mount image and play right?
hmm just a question, if my exe file is the one from SIGames which is the 5.0.5.exe, will it still be playable?

Where did you get the mdi file from?

hmm
 

i read through all of the posts and i downloaded the one from GCW and it says mds and mdf. i dont have the mdi. is there any mdi? or was it a type error?
