Looking for a working Football Manager 2 ADF

portarinos · 03 January 2012, 09:57

I was happy enough to buy a boxed FM2 game at a car boot sale some time ago. It was cheap enough and at a near mint condition but as i suspected the disk had bitten the dust. Since there isn't a WHDLOAD slave for this game i was looking for an ADF of the game in order to transfer it to the original disk. A couple of ADF's i have downloaded from the net seem to be corrupt and although the game loads until the intro screen then it hangs or gives errors. Does anybody have a tested to work FM2 ADF? I would be grateful if someone could upload it to the zone or elsewhere. I'm dying to test it with my amiga too. The Amstrad CPC version hooked me really bad back in the day.

Bingo!!!

I'll give it a try but hey, shouldn't the slave be present in the WHDLOAD database/list of slaves? I think it isn't.

Tested, working but with corrupt graphics. You can view a match but all the colours are seriously damaged. I' m running it in an A1200 with 060. I suppose it has to do with the slave. Tried a couple of tooltypes but no joy here. any ideas? I should also insist on the working ADF if available. Cheers to everybody

Tested the ipf in WinUAE, and the only config that works is the A500 default.

Yeah, right... It's of course the fault of the slave and without a patch the game will work much better </sarcasm>.

Anyway, for the moment try the "NoCache" tooltype, it might fix the graphics problems. I'll have a look at the slave later, the current version is something that I quickly created at work but never really tested hence it is not available on the official WHDLoad site yet.

It worked fine for me, standard WinUAE settings too iirc.

Don't get me wrong! I was just pointing out the problems that every expanded Amiga has with some slaves. Of course the original game WON'T run at all without the patch so your work is more than welcome
