How to play FA Premier League 99 Windows
Update: LegendsWorlds shared this tip in his comment, "Runs in XP, but you must use DXWnd - Compat - Tweaks - Handle Exceptions = On."
The game cannot run in basic Windows XP or later alas, you'll need to have a virtual machine with Win95 or 98 installed (use VirtualBox, PCem or 86Box). My own test have been unsuccessfull in Win95 using 86Box, leading to immediate crash. Got to the title screen by merging the RIP files with installed files from the CD. The generic crack provided has to be extracted to the game installed folder and loader.exe must be run and kept open.
Many thanks to thedogspollocks for sharing a copy of the game, he managed to set up the game on an original physical laptop with Win98 SE installed.

Will the German version of the game also be available here, as can be seen in the pictures?

Runs in XP, but you must use DXWnd - Compat - Tweaks - Handle Exceptions = On.
The SecuROM 1 cms32_nt driver (32,768 bytes) is literally broken so you must get a SecuROM launcher that can fix the problem.
Or use a crack that unwraps the exe and removes SecuROM.

Everyone likely wants the nocd version, as it bypasses the bothersome CD check that tests Audio Track 2 for authenticity. A whole match was played and everything appears to work ..
The bin / cue provided here did not pass the SecuROM or CD audio test, nor is it redump quality (internal timestamp says ripped on 2022-11-03). But still nice to have a disc.

I've tried to get this to work for an entire Saturday, to no avail.
It doesn't work on my Windows 10, nor on XP in VirtualBox.
Ideally, does anyone know where to get an ISO of this?

Hi all, huge fan of this game, very nostalgic. I've managed to get it fully working on windows 98SE apart from the match engine running way to fast to follow, and more disappointingtly, every time I attempt to save my game it crashes to windows. Does anyone please have any ideas?? Thanks

Win10 doesn't like this one at all as far as I can tell. PCem didn't like it either: crashed back to Windows (I tried both 95 and 98) after showing the loading screen for roughly a minute. (Video drivers maybe?)
Oracle's VirtualBox ran it fine under Win98SE, but there was trouble locking the mouse to the in-game pointer, and the emulator had a fatal error soon after (this was likely due to fiddling with settings and such though.)
