Game CDROMs typically have some sort of copy protection mechanism:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CD/DVD_copy_protection
There is software that helps defeat some of these mechanisms but I
wouldn't know what or how specifically.
All I know is I once used "readcd", that comes with cdrecord, to try and
read a MATLAB document CD for the very same reason (having the cdrom in
the drive all the time is a nuisance). I ran it and told it to retry
forever on any read error. I think about 45 min later I had a
(physically) cracked CD. So I had to wait three weeks and pay $15 to
replace the documentation CD.
Good luck.
