If you are reading this, you likely fall into one of two categories. Either you are a veteran from the early 2000s who can still hear the sound of a dial-up modem connecting, or you are a younger tactical nerd who has heard the legends.
We are talking, of course, about Championship Manager 01/02—the game widely regarded as the pinnacle of the simulation genre. More than two decades later, the database is still updated by fans, and the tactics (Diablo, anyone?) are still debated.
But before you can sign Maxim Tsigalko or convert Mark Kerr into a goal machine, you have to face the first boss of the retro gaming world: The CD Check.
The safest method regarding malware.
If you cannot find a trusted No-CD crack, you can bypass the physical disc requirement by tricking your computer into thinking it has a disc drive.
How to do it:

Double-click the new cm0102.exe. If successful, the game will launch immediately without asking for a CD. If it asks for a CD, you have downloaded the wrong version.

Problem: "Error 51: The disc is not in the drive."
Solution: You failed to overwrite the exe. Ensure the cracked exe is in the same directory as the Data folder, and that you have deleted the original. If you are reading this, you likely fall
Problem: The game runs, but there are no sounds/commentary. Solution: The crack often disables the CD audio track. Download the "Commentary Pack" from the fan site, which places .wav files on your hard drive and points the No CD exe to them.
Problem: The game crashes on "Setting Up Game Database." Solution: Run the exe as Administrator AND disable fullscreen optimizations in Properties -> Compatibility.
A: Yes. The Tapani patch (which adds windowed mode and CPU affinity fixes) requires a decompressed EXE. Most modern CM0102 No CD files are already decompressed. Apply the No CD first, then run the Tapani patch. Published by: The Retro Gamer’s Hub Topic: Championship
