Are subchannel tracks really needed in order to use backup??

[solomon420]

I am having trouble using Clone CD with my burner. I spent good money on the damn thing...so getting rid of it is not the idea. It will not read subchannel data tracks. My question is will the backup game still work if I make the copy without the subchannel tracks??? Is it possible to play this game with a boot disc or is a chip the best way?? Please help!
