Can you clarify how it's lying?
Is there such a thing as a verifier/validator program to validate the ISO generated by backup-creator.exe to prevent producing coasters?
Yes, I ran backup-creator.exe on the ISO before burning and the game loaded and ran fine last week (tried twice) but I just couldn't get it to work yesterday. It's weird that it's unpredictable but maybe it is an issue with burning. The original media I have work just fine.
I did try to use...
I successfully burned and played "Game Party 2" last week. Today, I kept getting "DVD Identify Failed" even after reinstalling several times. I hope the one without DVDx will work better and more consistently.
