I also recommend getting Official Scene Release rips from Underground Gamer or another site , non Scene Release rips can be problematic.

hehehehe no problemo , if you get some from UG do a check before burning as in make sure the Dummy is set at the start of the image instead of the end of it.

Even some Official Scene images are built wrong , you can check the image with Isobuster.

Dummies are very important as they prolong the life of your GD-Rom drive by pushing the game Data to the outer of the CD-R. What this does is make the CD-R spin less and saves the motors from burning out.
