I know we are talking about an old game here but if it is a Re-release and has got a newer protection on it then 'ClonyXXL' wont be much good as it is really outdated now.
Go with either the 'ProtectionID' (PID) or 'Aray Scanner'. Both are excellent programs.
EDIT: And yes 'GilFuin' I have also come accross a few older games which wont actually play from the original disc but will play fine from a backup or by using a NoCD. These game are usually the ones I got thru some promotional thing like in a cereal packet. One of the earlier Need for Speed games is one of those which wouldnt play from the original and one of the MotoGP games?
Strange but true?
