EA Fifa Manager 08

[GandalfGrey]

I also finally managed to get it to work with the new mds, however I still have a problem which I had with the no-cd that often my computer restarts when beginning the 3d match, between the first loading screen and the second. I have updated my drivers, and I really cant work out what the problem is

ok, first of all i have to say that you guys (and girls of course) rock

if it does help anyone, i'll tell you how it worked for me...

1. download DT 4.06 (link provided by Riggadon in 1 of his posts)
2. download Yasu 1.4 (link provided by Zulu)
3. use posedon's original files
4. in DT emulate only securerom (thanks Riggadon again)
5. in Yasu turn of safedisc, use only securerom (again, thanks to Riggadon)
6. don't worry, be happy... erm i meant - play the game
7. short notice: the cursor goes "CD" again (it changes to a spinning CD), but then it changes back to an arrow and the game launches as usual

i went on for about 2 months (game time), no crashes at all... with the fixed exe i had a crash every 2-3 days. so... everythings' fine, exept i didn't qualify for Euro cup with England, stupid Israel threw me out hehe

Hi All
Merry belated christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone

Now to my problem:
I downloaded the game, but i seem to have downloaded a differnet version than you, since i don't have the poseidon image, but an ISO from Fairlight..
So i downlaoded a converter, and made myself a .mdf file from that iso and downloaded the .mds that was linked in this topic. But it just wont wokr. I have Daemon Tools 4.06 and YASU 1.4, both with just the SecuRom abilities on. And i egt the "Wrong DVD/CD" Error.. Is that beacause i used the Firlight iso? I just dont want to download the Poseidon image again, cause that'll take another 3 days -.- Or is there no way around that?
Maybe Im also doin smth. else wrong O.o

Hope to find help here

Hi there,
I do not speak english very well, because of this I have some questions about your steps.
Step 1) done
Step 2) done
Step 3) is this only the "MANAGER08.mds" file?
Step 4) done
Step 5) done

What should I do now? If I mount the mds.file with DT it says"unable to image"
Does I need to use the MANAGER08.EXE from GCW or the original one?

Thanks for helping me!

If you only have an ".mds" file, create an ".mdf" image from your original and use the two together. This is described in the PC Game forum FAQ which you should have read...

Hi, I've been trying to get this to work for a few days and pretty much gave up.

I tried using the latest DT Lite and YASU 1.3/1.4 (dunno which builds) but that didn't work. I decided to give it one last go as I hadn't tried using DT 4.06 and it has worked!

1. I have the game installed with patch 2
2. Installed DT 4.06 from the link provided by Riggadon
3. Downloaded YASU 1.3.7070 from the link provided by Riggadon
4. Mounted Posedon's MDF file with Zulu's MDS file (renamed mds to match Posedon's filename - doubt that makes a difference ^^).
5. Opened YASU (with DT 4.06 already running), deselected SafeDisc 4 cloaking (leaving only SecuROM 7 selected), pressed cloak.
6. Run FIFA Manager from desktop shortcut, and it worked first time!

I left the DT 4.06 options unchanged after installing with exception to auto start. All emulation options off, Secure mode, auto mount and Tray icon options are on (leaving InUse check & auto start off).

Hopefully it'll continue working. Major thanks to Riggadon & Zulu for their help and everyone else for suggestions
