The reason you have to use Hide CD-R Media is because the game has an ATIP check.

Every CD-R has an ATIP that contains info on manufacturer, length etc. Pressed CD's (original ones) don't have this.

Only mainly cd-writers can read the ATIP - most normal CD-ROMS can't. So if you are gonna play it in a writer, you have to enable Hide CD-R Media (there is no way to make a perfect copy that gets round ATIP as it is not physically possible as every CD-R has an ATIP).

It's only newish games (about Safedisk 2.4 and up) that have this ATIP check.
