FM 2006 Mini image

[typnhp]

i can play with alcohol and s4h but still get the memory problem (not use nt4 mode, newest 6.01 patch), after 1h, memory used in taskmanager is about 800M then out of memory, what's up?

does the no cd work with the new patch ?

Hi people i have been keeping an i on this thread as i too am keen to have fm2006 running without cd, i may have a solution for you, it appears to work on first impressions, but need some of you guys to help test it over a period of time.

first make a image of your original fm2006 cd

download and install Daemon tools v4 and enable safedisc emulation then mount the image

install from image, once installation complete download and apply the official 6.0.1 patch

Then before running the game disable all optical drives from device manager

Play the game!!!

did'nt have to use any other software, works for me anyhow, hope this is of help, as i said have'nt tested fully as i have literally only just discovered this.

All you guys who have successfully used the compatibility mode to play the game...

Have any of you managed to get the game beyond the end of the first season.

Mine mysteriously crashes at the same point, different games...etc.

Let me know!

1. mount full image in damon tools v4
2. no need for any emulation of protection,hiding doftware,changinging compatibility just disable optical drives in device manager.
(this method may actually work in daemon v3.47 can't say i've tried)

Thats it! have played repeatidly with no probs

There is now a miniaimage available on gamecopy world, this does not appear to work when i tried it but then again i have'nt bothered to use any "hiding" software or the windows nt compatibility trick as suggested in the readme.

this did thou

1. install patch 6.0.1
2. Demon tools 4
3. Mount original image u did
4. put mode on windows 4 nt
5 disable drive

only use daemon-tools 4.0 with FULL image (not work with MINI image from gamecopyworld), no hiding software, no nt4 mode needed!

I have tried all the methods shown on this thread particularly Arsenal FC's with no sucess. The main problem I get with most methods is FM.exe has to close as an error is shown. With some methods is says use the correct CD but generally i get the error report, has anybody got any solutions to this particulary problem, its driving me mad

I take that by this you mean you have taken the game past june 2006?

Not yet but i'll let you know when i do, i can't see it being a problem

By the way all you windows 2000 users out there might like to know that using the same method works just as well. just reboot after disabling the optical drives
