[SOLVED] Mounting DVD complicated MDF

I made an MDF file under alcohol 120% for a non-copy-protected (but maybe with bad sectors) game I use on Windows (The Sims 3).  I tried many things on linux, including using the mount -o loop -t udf command, the iso9660 filesystem, fuseiso, cdemu, furius, acetoneiso, and all have errors.  Sadly, after converting said image to ISO, it simply won't run; the game says "cannot be verified as original CD" in that case.  Fuseiso tells me some very peculiar error.

Mounting directly as udf only shows the mac OSX portion of the disk with its macintosh dmgs etc.  What do I do in this case while preserving the authenticity of the image as detected by the game?

Edit: I actually was able to see the original data this time mounting as udf.  However, I wish there was a better way.  If anyone knows of a linux-compatible multisession image format, please let me know!

Re: [SOLVED] Mounting DVD complicated MDF

Yeah is there any way for me to use a well-supported, modern linux-compatible image file that copies the bad sectors, multiple sessions, etc in a complicated windows-type data DVD?

Anyone who knows such a format, I appreciate it.  The game I bought is The Sims 3, which doesn't have any securom or any strange security like it's predecessor.
