I'll update you guys tomorrow night to see if thread starter's method is reproducible on my computer. FYI, I was able to create a complete DPM file using my NEC ND-3520A at High Precision and 1x (it took 2 hours and 12 minutes!!)
After buying an external 5.25" USB2.0 enclosure and putting my DVD-RW inside it, the game still wouldn't run. In fact, as the game disc was being checked, I got a BSOD. After a hard boot, I noticed these words on my DVD-RW icon in My Computer--"Emulation Needed."

I think it means that my burned DVD is not good enough even with the RMPS emulation turned on via A120%. I did burn with DPM at High Precision and a speed of 1x with the latest Alcohol 120%. I don't know why this is not working. And yes, I tried both disabling the 2nd channel, CD-ROMs, and node using Starforce Nightware as well as physically unplugging the CD-RW I had on the second channel.

This sucks....
