I created a bin/cue of my Kickoff 97 cd. It mounted and installed just fine in 0.74 with a default conf file.

Upon launching the game however, I receive the error:

KickOff 97 - V1.06 (dos)
Error: Wrong CD in drive
Please insert your KickOff 97 CD

My mount command is:
imgmount d .\games\KckOff97\cd\kick_off_97.cue -t cdrom

And as I said, it installs just fine.

I have run into a few other games which refuse to read my images properly (GT Racing 97 and College Slam to name two). In one case the cue file had to be manually offset and in the other ripsaw8080 had to write a TSR to allow the game to read the disc properly. I suspect this instance falls into a similar category.
