silver10 Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Do you have an external CD drive? You could make a disk image when you have the CD in your external drive and that way you wouldn't have to carry the drive and disk with you everywhere.

there\'s only one ronaldo Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 would the game play off a disk image? or would it think that it was pirated and block it from running? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver10 Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 I'm pretty sure it would run off a DMG. They're designed to as it's legal and you should back up your CDs anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacob Dutton Posted November 21, 2008 Author Share Posted November 21, 2008 hi guys, thank you so much for speedy replies, excuse my ignorance but what is a DMG? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver10 Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Sorry DMG = Disk image, the thing you'd create though disk utility (see my first post) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antonio Santos Costa Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Will I EVER be able to play Football Manager 2009 on my Macbook Air? I'm gutted that SI dont have a solution for this... any ideas anyone?Thanks Jake I have a macbook air, and I use the driver from my home computer, and it is always asking for the CD which I only want to play out of home and I don't have the external drive... what can I do? thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antonio Santos Costa Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 I have the same problem, i have a macbook air, and i can't play FM when i'm off home, how can i do this ...? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractor_Boy_Rv Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 The only way at the moment would be to buy an External DVD drive... very annoying for macbook air users Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GavinZac Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 The only way at the moment would be to buy an External DVD drive... very annoying for macbook air users To be fair, I could buy a Windows or Linux PC with no optical drive in it and I wouldn't have the FM team fawning over me to find a way to play it. Granted, they'd just tell me to use Steam, but again, it's not SI's fault Macs aren't popular for games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indi75 Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 it's not SI's fault Macs aren't popular for games. To be honest they aren't popular with anyone other than iCabals and Mac Fanboys anyway, they are a dysfunctional style statement with no user replaceable Battery, no Optical Drive, No Ethernet, only 1 USB Port, no Microphone socket, limited HDD Storage at only 80GB, no FireWire port, only 2GB RAM which you can't upgrade, and you can buy any number of more powerful feature rich notebooks for less money in competitor models, as well as in the Mac range.
