This is because some programs contain anti-piracy code which
tries to distinguish a CD from a hard disk image. MOL used
to present all disks (including CDs) as read-only hard disks.
This has changed in the latest BK version though (which also
supports ejectable CDs). So far, all programs (games) I have
tested have recognized the mol-CD as a real CD.
