Football Manager 2007 Mac No-CD Patch

Posted by David Hurst in Guides, Technology on January 19th, 2008

I happen to love playing Football Manager 2007, and the CD usually lives in my MacBook Pro, unless I take it out at work to load something else and forget to put it back of course. So, a whole weekend without Football Manager - that sucks… not any more!

I have purchased the game so why should I be prevented from playing it just because I left the CD at work? It really annoys me. What annoys me more is that there is precious little help or information on no-CD patches on the forums for Mac games players. There is a fake ISO on Game Copy World for PCs though, so I thought I would give it a try. Unlike PC users, who have to download all sorts of utilities, the Mac will load up ISOs right out of the box without any special software.

So, go grab the file from www.gamecopyworld.com (if the link doesn’t work, just go direct to the main website and look on the games list under F). You’ll need Stuffit or similar to open the .rar file. Inside is an ISO. Double click it and it will appear as a removable disk on your desktop. Then start Football Manager 2007.

I’m using this with version 7.0.0, but I see no reason why it wouldn’t work with 7.0.1 or 7.0.2 either.

If you don’t own the game, using this file is stealing. Stop being so tight-fisted - the game only costs £20! I’m providing this information purely to help out people like me who own the game but do not always want to carry their Football Manager 2007 CD with them.
