I do not know what you have tried ... mounted image works even without emulation for sure, but it is possible that some games check the installation drive, so try to either install from Daemon Tools drive, or edit the registry ...
if you try to create a backup with a writer unable to write the so-called weak sectors correctly, you have to use Daemon Tools fast dump feature (see manual for details) so Daemon Tools knows which weak sectors are to emulate ... fast dumped backup will work with every writer!
