i d/led MVP Baseball 2003 recently. it was 2 discs. i d/led the bin and cue. so i kno how to burn and all and it works. but the thing is, it checks to see if the correct cd is in the drive prior to installing. and i keep gettin the "Please insert correct CD" everytime i try to install.

now i am d/ling a .IMG of the game. and i was wondering what is so special about .img's and is there any difference between img and bin files. will the .img do the trick in making it's 'identity' recognized by the comp?

The game is more than likely Safedisc 2x cd protected m8.After installing Alcohol 120%, go to Options>General>Shell type and enable all. Use Alcohol 120% using the Safedisc 2 datatype profile to burn (RAW DAO) at 8x. After you burn the images exit Alcohol 120% and see if the backup will install\play from your burner If you encounter errors then open Alcohol 120% and go to Options>General>Emulation and enable "ignore media type", and minimize Alcohol 120% to system tray (startup) and try to play the backup from your burner
