You have a working full image, so creating a working Mini (for Securom CDs: Maxi) shouldn't depend on hardware anymore

I already did try that, I did say I zero'd out the tracks to leave the topography and TOC.

There has to be something else to it rather than just topography reading. Something in a file on the CD or a specific track.

To my foreign ears it sounded like it still depends on hardware to create the working mini though you already have a working full one.

Do you get Securom error 4003 with your Mini ?

Bog standard "Please insert" after 4 mins of checking.

When you get "Please insert the original disc instead of a backup" message it's primarily (maybe only - if there is no ISO check) a topology problem.
Missing ISO check sectors would produce error 4003 - if topology check passed successfully.

You don't necessarily need complete TOC; for most Securom titles it's even better to insert zeroes from sector 17.
