How to bypass the error on Photoplay?

This video is not mine, but i decided to download all the Photoplay CHD's and try to play.

Any trick to bypass the Floppy Disk Fail?

Thanks.

 

No clues? frown

Notice the big red message right at the beginning of the video that says "this machine doesn't work".  Floppy errors, CMOS checksum errors, any error would be related to why there is a non-working message.

None working machines/games are , none working machines/games, nothing you can do to make them work unless you become a MAME Coder Wizard, but even then some games will NEVER work on MAME due to none existent none bugged/broken hardware/images.
E.g. only dump known of game is broken.

I tought it was something to bypass it, because MooglyGuy in the last post on mameworld said something and it tells a dam lie.

Some games related as "not working" but they work at least to insert coin and test it. As we know Primal Rage II still not working but someone made a fix to play with. So... you see it. Mame still not related about it and keeps denied. 

And here a WIP video of someone made it working on MAME: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZKl12bv9og

Explain how to do it, but no one put it.

The reason i open this thread...
