Game crashes when using gamepad (Fix)

I was having trouble with FIFA 2006, the game crashed everytime I tried to use a gamepad.

I have 2 PS2 controllers connected to my PC via an USB adapter. They work perfectly with every game I have on my PC, but whenever I tried to play FIFA 2006, the game would just crash right after loading. I figured out the problem was when using the gamepads because the game would not crash when using the keyboard.

After some researching, I realized this problem seems to happen only to people who use the "No CD/DVD patch". Hence, the fix to this problem is quite simple:

You can restore the FIFA06.exe file from your CD/DVD and use the original disc, OR you can use a working fixed exe file. You can find this file on GameCopyWorld site, look for the file that reads something like "Gamepad fixed exe".

By doing that procedure I am now able to play using my PS2 controllers on my PC. It works no matter what type of controller you have. Now you can store your original disc in a safe place. :bob:

I hope this helps you out. I know there are many people out there having this problem.

If I remember correctly (it was 16-17 years ago), we could solve the gamepad problem by installing the official patch. Managing to find the official patch also requires a lot of effort.

I found that patch on Gamecopyworld. Anyway i just want to play some retro FIFA 06 game, and FIFA 06 emulated on PCSX2 seem quite buggy for me (glitch graphic,...) so i try to comeback to PC version.
