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.
Fantastic, works perfectly. That has saved me a lot of trouble…!
Does This Work With Football Manager 2008?
I doubt it. The ISO is a 2007 disc. However, if you have a copy of Toast you can probably make an ISO of your 2008 disc and then use that.
good
I can’t access the setup.jar file, i’ve tried changing to ‘always open’ option and it still fails to open saying
‘check the console for possible error messages’. Does anyone know what i need to do?
thanks
thanks
to bagel.
I was having this problem, think you might be doing what i was (looking for a file to extract)
once you open the iso file it appears on your menu as a removable disk. It will be in the same place as a cd would appear. This leaves the system thinking there is a copy of the disk in the computer and will run the game as long as you leave the window open.
hope this helps
