Can you please help me?
I tried to copy the contents to a DVD, I tried to mount it, I tired to burn the iso made from my legally purchased discs, I don't know what to do next!
The CD was legally backed up and legally purchased.
I do own the original disc.
This is just for backup purposes just in case my disc someday gets a crack.
Thanks!

Fluffy If you're trying to play the backup, you should do a full install of the game to your hard-drive and then use a no-CD crack.

If you're trying to play the backup, you should do a full install of the game to your hard-drive and then use a no-CD crack.
Securom, the DRM used by SHAR, does not let you use a mounted copy as a way to prove you own the disc. This is because the Securom checks for the actual thickness of the disc as a way to prove you didn't make a backup and just give it to your friend for example.
I recommend using this crack: Link removed
Download the crack and replace the Simpsons.exe in your installed game folder with that one.
Providing and using a CD crack is legal under United States DMCA laws for preservation and interoperability reasons.

If you're asking for proof of the executable file being legitimate, it is widely used by the community and speedrunners including one of the most notable speedrunners, LiquidWiFi.
It was detected by 0 out of 70 virus detection softwares, which you can verify by running it through VirusTotal.com, a website formerly owned by Google. Here's a link to when I ran it: www.virustotal.com/gui/file/2928118887b910ae03ce714e287d9bc67fb95f29e1b4f1271b8af389990c0795/detection
Because the technology relies on the thickness of the plastic, burning it to a CD-R would not work unless the thickness matched the original game's disc. And even then, that's only an assumption because to my knowledge no one has tested that.

At its core, SecuROM works by checking the density of data being read from a disk. Normally, data density of data accessed from a DVD would degrade from the inside of the DVD to the outside of the DVD, but SecuROM allows a vendor to add a specific pattern to the degradation of data density. If that pattern isn’t found, then SecuROM will determine that the DVD is not valid and the game won’t operate.
