[QUOTE="Werewolf, post: 1543035, member: 239"] The copy protection scheme used by those old 90's games very often was a bad sector placed on the CD purposely. The load routines looked at a specific sector on a specific track to see if it was good or bad. If it wasn't bad then no joy. Virtual disk software usually was unable to successfully duplicate the bad sector. IMO the game thinks you're running an illegal copy. If true you're just shite out of luck. [/QUOTE]
