Madden 2006 NO CD Crack
 

Well the way I did it was pretty simple and it worked so there's nooo reason why it shouldn't work for any1 else as well.

I guess i'll give u all the detailed step by step version so any1 can follow and accomplish it

First install Madden 2006 like you normally would

second thing...is make an image file of the first cd (i used the original)...I used Games X Copy for this...which is absolutely flawless software...besides Halflife2 there is no game that this software was not able to copy or image.

Then go download Daemon tools 3.47 (is what i used)

http://cdmediaworld.com/hardware/cdrom/cd_utils_8.shtml

if link doesn't work put "daemon tools 3.47" into google and find it that way

install it and it will create a virtual drive on your computer (doesn't matter if you don't understand what a virtual drive is...u will see an additional letter in your computer directory)...launch daemon tools and it will ask you to load the image file...go to where you created Madden 2006 disk #1 image file and load it. For games x copy images you have to change dameon tools' search to "all files" then you will be able to see the image files. Load disk #1 into daemon tools...now go run Madden 2006 via the shortcut on your desktop (or wherever u have it) and you are running.

Enjoy !

They must have improved Games X copy since the first version becuase I was never able to make a backup of any game with it, just got coasters. I still have my licence for the software maybe I'll try it again someday if you say they have fixed it.

Read what he said, he didnt burn the game he made an image.

i'm using version 1.0.8 of games x copy...i made the images of all 3 madden 2006 cds...then i used the images to burn 3 cds of my own...i installed the game with the copied versions of the game...the 1st cd got stuck at 98% completed when i tried to image it...but if you wait it out (a good 10 minutes) you'll get to 100%.

With games x copy I've successfully imaged doom3...madden 2006...madden 2005...nhl 2005...need for speed underground2...mvp baseball 2004 and 2005...colin mcrae rally 4...just to name a few to give u an idea...if the imaging doesn't work (rarely) then you burn it directly...1 or the other always works. After making the image files, I then create the cds.

Problem
 

Hey guys, i followed all of that and still can´t manage to get the game started. You´ll see, when i launch daemon tools and load the CD1 image file and then press play at the launch scene, i got a message telling me that "Mainapp.exe has found a problem and must close" or something like that

I DON´T KNOW WHAT IS THE DARN PROBLEM NOW, MAYBE THE COPY I INSTALLED IS CRAP OR AM I WRONG??

possible problems if this doesn't work
 

ok first off make sure u load the IMAGE file in dameon tools...which when you make it...make sure it's from the Original CD and not a copy of the game...

if on the otherhand u are using a copied version of the game to make the image then by far i'd say the problem is the cds you are using...i've noticed that Kodaks are complete and utter garbage and realized for the 1st time that not all cds are made the same...had countless copy problems with Kodaks including similar problems to what u mentioned above...the 1s I use now are Memorex Black CD-R....they are the best I've ever used

2nd thing...maybe it'd ur Burner that's messed up...i'm using lite-on 52x32x52x
which i picked up for a measly $50 and blows the plextor away...copies anything flawlessly

or maybe it's the image software you used...again i used gamesXcopy and it worked flawlessly...just burned NHL2006 using same method as Madden06 and it also worked

on another note...first hand reviews of Madden06 say that it's not that great and that they now charge you a fee if you wish to play online...rumour is that overall the graphics are good but the AI isn't so great and ur better off sticking with Madden05

:D

Hey, THX lab.!
works fine 4 me :)

yes works great!
 

Simply use Nero burning rom to make an image(refer to the nero help file if you dont know how) It will tell you their is many unrecoverable read errors and it will take a while to finish, but it will finish! Once you have the nero image of the madden play disc simply install daemon tools and mount the madden image you just created with nero and the game will work flawlessly on any computer without the cd in the cdrom drive. Their is no need for expensive programs like game copy X or whatever to make an image when most people have nero burning rom for their cd burner anyways. Daemon tools is a free program as well simply find it with google. oh and THANKS TO YOU ALL FOR THE IDEA FOR ME TO TRY THIS WAY! JUST AN ADDED PIECE OF INFORMATION FOR THOSE WHO DONT OWN GAME COPY X OR WHATEVER ELSE IS OUT THERE!

yup...nero will work also...and you can update your game with the patches and it'll still work ...so it's actually the much better way to go about doing it because with no cd exe's you can't update. :)

Using NERO
 

I have read the NERO Manual, and i think i got it, but i don't know what files should i put into the IMAGE FILE.

Please Help !

when u make the image you put that image into Daemon's virtual drive...in other words you "mount" the image as Daemon tools calls it...in my case the exact name of the image file for madden 2006 is called:

MADDEN06 DISK1.XMD

hope that helps u

or wait are u asking what files you put into nero to make the image file?

i don't use nero so i'm not sure i can answer you but with gamesxcopy it was straight forward...the image is made from the original cd and stored on the pc

how do i make an image i have nero but dont know what to do? please help

could some one help?

@Benz24
No Bumping threads!! Unless you have new information to submit!
What you are asking has been answered many times before, try using the Search button!
What game do you want to create an image for? Depending on what the protection is there are different ways to go about it.

I'm trying to make a madden 06 image but i dont know how i have nero but how do i make an image.

@
Well ive never tried to create a Mini Image using Nero?
Download a trial version of Alcohol 120% and go here to learn more about creating Safedisc Mini Images.

EDIT: Sorry I just noticed you didnt mention anything about a mini image! But just follow the same steps on the mini image tutorial but dont cancel the image, let it go all the way thru the reading of your disc. Then you will have a full image. ;)

thanks grumpy.:)

My ex threw out my disc's after she threw me out....
What do i do?

I contacted EA but they havent replied.. I did register the game...
...... the installed game is useless with out the discs.

What are my options? Can I download a image or something?

@kltsin
NO you can not!
Keep hassling EA for a replacement.

TY for the reply

Heres what I got from EA
Don't think it can help me as the policy states I need to return a product I no longer have.
But I do have the reciept (newegg), I also have a police report of her allegedly stabbing me to prove the instability of the relationship.

I asure you this is a legitimate request.
Anyone have the number for EA so I can pursue this further?
Sorry if off topic

Yes, it's off-topic so, please, find your solution in the proper forum (which this is NOT). I would recommend that you buy another copy instead - it might much less of a hassle than bugging people at Electronic Arts. (Perhaps, if you still have a proof of purchase - bill, jewel case, manual, whatever -, they can give you a deal...?)

Hi!I'll be very happy if you give mi a cd key for Madden nfl 2006 !
Thank you!

Mitkov_ -> the cdkey is usually accompanied with the game when you BUY it, as a new user you are MEANT to read the RULES, which you obviously didnt, so a mod will most likely ban your ass... and its your own fault

Until now, I've only seen threads getting closed, because of a request for a serial/CD-key, but not members getting banned... (I'm not saying that this practice is good, though!)

well, the new mods can be ruthless sometimes...

/me hands the stick of ruthlessness to Grumpy :)

@TippeX
/me has firmly grabbed the stick of ruthlessness and shaken it violently!!!

@Joe
Many people have been banned for asking for serial/CD Keys. And so they should!

(HINT: Do a search for 'need a serial key'. You will be very surprised with the second response.) ;)

@Mitkov_
You have been banned for a month!! Do NOT ask for serial keys here!
If you indeed have the original game, which I seriously doubt, then you will find the serial either on the back of the game manual or the back of the CD case!

/me laughing his head off...
I think I forgot to take my memory pills this morning (again)! :D Okay, policy understood.

@Joe,

I actually made a mistake in that last post of mine!!
The search should have been for 'need a serial key'.
And it was the second response I wanted to show you. ;)

But From the laughter I can only presume you found the one I was referring too? :)

Hy

I have a problem with Madden NFL. I instaled the game and when i tried to played an error apeared that something is wrong with an .exe file. I uninstaled the game and instaled it again. This time another error wich asks me to put in the corect CD but it is the corect CD. I tryed everything D-tools Alchool Clone CD and still doesn't work.
Can some1 help me plz.

That program Games x Copy it is freeware and if it is where can i find it because on google i did't find anything
PPPPPPPPPPPPLLLLLLLLLZZZZZZZZZZZ HHHHEEEELLLLPPPPP MMMEEE

Games XCopy is not freeware.

If you're using a CD/DVD image, mounted into a virtual CD/DVD emulator then, yes, the game is right, it is NOT the correct CD/DVD. More infos in the FAQ.

burp... yes its off topic (somewhat) as KEY DISKS to prevent piracy is the only reason this site exsists.

Just wanted to say that BUGGING EA was the only way to go and worked quite well.
They are replacing my disks for a nominal charge plus shipping and handling even though my situation doesn't follow the criteria for replacement.

Hey guys!

I got a problem. I made an image of Disc one, like you guys are written here in this thread. I tried games x copy, alcohol 120 and clonecd for making an image, so now i got three images of disc one, .xmd, .mdf, .img.

now i tried to load one of the images in daemon tools 3.47 an tried to start the game. there isnt any message of wrong cd or something like this, just the start screen is there, and is something like frozen. well, i think im gonna explain this more: you want to start the "mainapp.exe" and then there is a little screen right in the middle of your desktop, and this white screen is frozen, and nothing will happen.

I tried to mount the images in daemon tools, alcohol 120, virtual clone drive and nero image drive. i also tried the tool sd4hide but i think this tool even doesnt work correktly...

I hope you guys can help me! and sorry for my grammatical mistakes.

ps: i never got any problems with images or something, nfs-mw, nba 06, everything just works fine, but with madden 06 i lose my hope...

thanks for any replies

I had the same problem made an image then when go to play the game the same thing happens

Well, the positive thing is, the game now works... im happy :)

i just done 2 things. i installed the newest version of daemon tools (the "about" says DAEMON TOOLS 4.03HE).
Then i imaged all three disc's, but i tried some other cd's from my friend he has the original too and we are playing online together now.

i mounted all three disc's with daemon tools so i have 3 virtual drives, but that's not really important for me.

well, i just think my disc is maybe broken or something like this. maybe i made the image not the correctly way.

and, thanks for the support...

If your originals are broken, contact the publisher for a replacement, thinking of the future: in case your hard disk crashes and you lose the images, you won't be able to create another set of images from your broken originals!

wait...i'm a little confused...someone please tell me if this is right.
1. make a disc image of madden 06 disc 1 via alcohol, games x copy, nero, etc. but this is a FILE on your hard drive...you don't actually burn a cd, correct?
2. download daemon tools 3.47 or 4.03
3. open the madden06 disc 1 disc image on your hard drive w/ daemon tools on one of your virtual drives
4. double click the madden 06 shortcut on your desktop/start menu
is this all correct? just want to make sure i have everything right. so you don't ever end up burning your disc image onto an actual cd (always use your hard drive file)? are there any specific things that need to be done on daemon tools before mounting the image file? any settings that have to be modified? any special settings when making the image via alcohol or nero? thanks!

You can also burn the full image onto a CD/DVD (that's a backup then) but you might want to read/burn RMPS information, as well. Read the FAQ.

That problem is actually caused by madden. You need to go to C:/program files/madden 06. In there, there is a music folder. Change it from /Music to like musicxxx or something like that. That has been a problem in madden for a few years now.
