I own an official copy of the game, dumped it to iso, and have it mounted via imgmount, yet this stupid message comes up every time I try to start the game!
Regular Batman Forever is set up the same way and didn't have any issues. Is there a way to fix this? I hope so, because I can't find a crack for this game anywhere!

Oh and another thing: An ISO of the game I downloaded from an abandonware site before I bought my legit copy never had this issue and ran perfectly, so what gives?

You could just use the abandonware ISO since you own the game now.

World's foremost 486 enjoyer.

Thank You, but I'd rather not, especially since one of the audio tracks on the abandonware ISO is corrupted.

You should make a CUE/BIN format image of the disc, as the ISO format can't contain audio tracks. Perhaps you use "ISO" to refer to any kind of disc image, but please do not do that as it can be understood as referring to the ISO format.

If you did make an ISO format image then the game will likely fail to recognize the disc because the audio tracks are absent. If you made a CUE/BIN format image then there is probably some issue with the CUE file, and you can post its contents here for review.

Sorry for the confusion, I did make it into a BIN/CUE:

The CUE looks okay. However, some games check the start time and length of audio tracks as a kind of CD-check, and the imaging software used to make the image might have not recorded the specific timing the game looks for. Are there different times in this CUE compared to ones you used previously?
