As far as I know, the most basic piracy protection method is to verify the
size of the files and other thing concerning the structre of the CD. If this
verification exists on the game, it might be the problem. It doesn't explain
why it works fine with the Magic Engine, though.
What did you get when you tried to play the burnt CD on the Duo?
If the system couldn't read it at all, it might mean the laser is either too
sensitive or you used a bad quality CD (or both).
I guess this is a job for a hacker. ;)
Just for your information - from my experience, I can tell that burnt CDs
are much more difficult to read, and they'll wear the laser out *much*
faster than standard CDs, so I'd think twice before risking my Duo with
that. ;) I've already done more than enough damage to my CDX system this
way, and I'm now being extremely careful.
