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?
