Football Manager 2024 Touch (Real-Names/Licence Fix)

Football-Manager-2024-Touch.webp


So, after spending the last few years being throughly disappointed at the lack of a packaged editor with the Football Manager Touch releases; I’ve finally worked out how to apply fan-made patches to the latest Nintendo Switch release.. :yayswitch:

FM24 Real Names Corrected​

  • All playable clubs names from all continents
  • All major leagues names
  • All non-playable Europe Top Leagues club names
  • Almost all minor leagues names
  • All Continental, National and National Cups names
  • Continental awards
  • Some stadium names

A quick shout-out to the teams at DBI for allowing me to easily deep-dive into the games file structure, FMSCOUT for the LNC change files & Atmosphere for the beastly protocol, LayeredFS.! I couldn’t have done it without you.! :bow::grog:

Please note, the following prerequisites are required:

i) Nintendo Switch running Atmosphere CFW
ii) Football Manager Touch 2024 Installation

To install Real-Name/Licence fixes:

i) Download the attached LayeredFS package & extract ZIP contents n.b. 01008B101B87A000.zip
n.b. if you're using a different region game release, change the name of the extracted folder to match your game ID


ii) Copy the gameID folder package to switch:\atmosphere\contents\
iii) Launch game & enjoy.!

To confirm that the name-changes are being applied; start a new game & select the Italian league when at team-selection, if Napoli/Roma are listed, the game is being patched.! Also, you should see Man Utd name-listed within the Premier League..

Next task, trying to apply Logo/Face packs into the game, i'll update the thread when I get this working... :yay:

***Remember of the issues posed by transferring large number of files & your MicroSD's file system i.e FAT32/exFAT, clustering-size, capacity/size issues when tranferring from NTFS*** :teach:

*EDIT*
After some more investigation on the games file-structure, some work will need to be done with images to re-structure them correctly, a number of simple methods i've tried have been causing fatal Atmosphere errors. I'm currently in the process of dumping the games contents to SD, I'll see what I can do...! :rolleyes:

Is there any way to update the rosters for Football Manager 24 for 2025 transfers?
Yes. The FM community releases updated databases every transfer window, and some of them are incredibly detailed. I've been using those instead of buying the newest version right away.
