hi m8,

I did get a similar problem when trying to copy Microsoft Age of Empires II on the PC. It just refuses to let you copy the contents of the disc to the hard drive unless you run the setup.exe.

Anyway, that isn't relevant to the psx scene but a similar type of protection system could be used (there was a microsoft ring around the cd which i think was blocking me from copying it). I can remember i once had a similar problem with speed freaks, but i did manage to get around the problem, but i can't remember how.

I'll look into it for you and see whether i can remember how i got it to work.

l8er,

Animal.
