Mr-b0jangles wrote:Hey,

So I have everything installed correctly and running fine for the most part. I have the updated rosters, the 4gb patch, texmod with the HD mod running and Calhoupe's Madden Scripts. When I launch the game, I open Calhoupe's nad run texmod, from there I rain Calhoupe's mainapp from the Madden folder and everything works just fine. I have been able to finish a few games in my franchise but I get crashes really frequently and Ollydbg never gives me the option to debug even though I have followed all the instructions perfectly. One thing I am wondering is are Calhoupe's scripts built into Ollydbg and so they are running and preventing crashes at all times when I play Madden or was I supposed to add them in somehow? Because I don't see a script list or anything, I just open Ollydbg and load texmod through there and that's it. Am I missing something here? The crashes are becoming frustrating. Thanks!

I haven't been able to get the debugger working either. Not on the latest version of the scripts anyway.

Might I suggest you check out the Basic Troubleshooting Checklist? That should help with your crashes, but if it doesn't, feel free to post about your issues, making sure to provide as much detail as possible about the crashes.

What kind of errors are you getting? Is this for PC that you want to do rosters? Have you used the Basic Troubleshooting Checklist?

Will the roster load up with the editor or will it not load up at all.....
Most of the editors require the netframeworks 1.1,2.0,3.5, etc have you downloaded and installed those.... I am really just taking a shot in the dark here you need to elaborate more on what kind of errors your having and maybe a screenshot.... There are some really smart people who frequent this site and can probably help you or at least point you in the right direction

So it's been many years since I've had my madden 08 installed

long enough, that I don't even have a machine with a disc drive anymore.....


I was able to get a digital version, used my install code, and that seems to be fine, but I can't run the game

it's whining about a conflict with emulation software. apparently a securom issue

my google-fu is failing me, and I can't find a work around, any help?

If you download calhoupe's scripts as described in the OP, you'll also find a link to a no-CD patch. Using that should fix your issue.

That script got flagged by my anti virus, but also comes after the part in the instructions where you're supposed to have the game up and running....

I was able to track down a nocd crack after many searches, and seem to be up and running now tho

There should have been a link to the no-CD patch in the calhoupe's script download.

The antivirus thing is a false positive. Every AV tags it, as well as most other Cheat Engine scripts.

I just added a note about the false positive to the opening post. Should have done that long ago.
