Running Madden 04 on Windows 10

[ragerules12]

I was able to get Madden 04 working by using information from this page.....viewtopic.php?f=20&t=2744&hilit=madden+2004+no+numbers&start=20

Which NoCD patch did you use? I think the one I have doesn't work...

I recently downloaded Madden 04 as two ISO files. I just can't make them work.

I am running it on Windows 10, and when I have mounted the first ISO, I just am able to open the folder and enter the mainapp file. I get to the menu page, and the game seems already installed, as I only have the option to uninstall when I hover over the "Install" option. However, when I press the "Play" option, the game just shuts down. What might I be doing wrong, and how do I get the game working?

Did you figure this out? This is the point that I am stuck at right now.

Dump both contents of the CDs into a folder.

Edit the filenames.txt to read the files from one drive.

If you have the NoCD exe you can run the exe from the folder. Or you can burn a DVD with the changes above.

Hey i really apricate the response, thank you! Unfortunately i'm not great at this stuff and still cant quite get it going. I placed all the files into a new file like you said and then tried to run it through both the autorun and run game .exe. I get something that says "could not copy C\windows\system32\autorun.exe to c\users\17176\appdata\local\temp\autorun.exe"

It also says c\users\17176\appdata\local\temp\autorun.exe" could not be found.


Any idea what that means? Did I do something wrong with my copy and pasting into a new file, I did put both cd files into it.

I am not sure why you're having issues. In my copy I put both CDs into one HD folder. I replace the mainapp.exe with the NoCD exe. I then edit the filenames.txt to read the files from one location. From there I just click on the mainapp.exe and the game loads up with no issues, well except for the no numbers showing up but everything else runs just fine.
