5.0.5. mini image?
 

ok first of all where can i get this? everyones talking about this but i havent seen any links to it. i downloaded the official one, now what do i do.

hi i am having a small problem here...

i have been playing fm2005 for a while, recently realized they had come out with update and everything...so i tried downloading and updating fm 2005 with 5.05 data update...but it keeps saying "cannot find fm 2005 installation folder" , i have mounted the mini image and done everything adviced here...any suggestions ...please ? :(

that's you have 2 install the game in2 C:\Program Files\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2005 foder, not play from another location!

ok, i unistalled the game, then tried the mini image and the game worked fine no probs, i then installed the update and when i try to create a game it closes/crashes. any how i got the game to work without cd that all i wanted :), just not going to update it this time, will be gtting my 30 quid back today :D

we can all laugh in your face when your proved wrong ! :)

At the End I have unistalled CloneCd...
Now the mini-image works..but maybe The NoCd is better because You don't need to touch other program... :rolleyes:

can anyone tell me how i can uninstall the 5.0.3 patch frrom the game and play happily on the 5.0.2 patch without having to completely uninstalling the entire game? i just dont want to lose my games that i have got going right now...

thanks

dayum !!
 

yeah i tried that...i had my game installed in E: so i deleted the folder and deleted the Registry enteries...and then re-installed the whole thing in the C:\ accordingly....but i still can't install the patch...it says "unable to read from fm 2005 installation folder" someone please help me.... :o

@dd123
I dont have the game myself so I cant tell you exactly where the saved games are but look thru your game folders (they could even be somewhere in the 'My Documents' folder). Then copy them to another folder so you can replace them once you do a re-install of the game. ;)
Once reinstalling the game you may have to start another game, this way the saved game folder will be created again as sometimes the save game folder doesnt appear until you have actually started a game. Once you have the folder created you will be able to quit the game so you can copy your old save files back to the correct directory. I do this with all my games, especially after finishing the game. ;)

I got mine installed in F:\Games\FM2005
Works like a charm :)

cheers for that big chap. so simple :)

WORKS WIF 5.0.3 and 5.0.5 .. tried and tested!

Ok guys listen up.. i've spent days to get this working as there MIGHT NOT be a crack for it.

so to get daemon tools working, do this:

Clean Slate

These are the files to delete first before you install Daemon tools:
- c:\windows\system32\driver\d347bus.sys
- c:\windows\system32\driver\d347prt.sys

Also, Run > regedit
- hkey_local_machine > system > currentcontrolset > services > DELETE: d347bus & d347prt folders

Start > Search > All files n folders > Daemon ... anything daemon tool related.. DELETE.. if unsure, dont do it...

if you dont have these files dont panic, it means ur alredy clean :)
Ok so you're set.

Download older version first
Download Daemon 3.46

So follow instructions and stuff.. once its done, you will get the Blue Screen of Death. Dont worry, im sure youve restarted it.

double click the icon but it will show you error "No language file detected" or something.

then download starforce driver .. restart again...

now.. download the latest 3.47 daemon and install it.. and if they prompt anything, just undo changes. dont change anything, just click NEXT NEXT NEXT...

then RESTART again.. and voila.. you should see the daemon red icon on your tray... enjoy :)

==========================


ok once uve done with that and open up daemon.. it should be easy...

1) Right click on the system tray daemon logo
2) go to Virtual CD/DVD Rom
3) Device 0:[i:your folder.../FM2005/]
4) Mount Image
5) Find the FM2005.mds you downloaded before
6) click OK, PLAY THE FREAKIN GAME :D
