Hey l0sts0ul,
If there's only a _bit_ of copy protection on the original CD (volume label, big file, manually edited sectors outside the file area), then simply copying the files from the CD into a directory on the hard disk and then - what SUBST does: - asking the OS to give that directory a drive letter of its own, is not enough as the game will not find its original CD.
FakeCD does not emulate _any_ of these old, simply copy protection methods. However, it does tell the operating system (DOS) that that emulated drive is a CD-ROM drive. SUBST, on the other, hasn't been designed to do so.
