Affirmative mon ami, that is normal - and I think I know why

You have used Alcohol 120 to dump the BF1942 cd image. As I previously pointed out, although your burner supports reading pregap, Alcohol does NOT implement it (though it supports writing pregap). Ipso facto, your backup does not have the correct pregap. But since the 52246S is able to read the lead-in, the games checks for the correct pregap when you insert backup CD in the 52246S. However if you insert the same backup (or even the original) in another reader that has no full pregap-reading support, the game CANNOT check for pregap and therefore launches, since the developpers of the game wanted the original CD to to work in ALL drive so as to avoid possible refunds - which makes sense, non?

Therefore, if U want BF1942 backup to work, U must make a correct dump first (cf. Discjuggler or possibly BW? )
