As prior reported to the admins with the X-Station

I also can now confirm that it must have to do with not cleanly booting the game like it's meant to be with a original disc.

I suggest you guys begin documenting stuff like that. Your Xboxes and all the newer stuff will eventually also stop working, but those are harder or even quite impossible to fix. At least harder than putting a drive emulator in the PS1 or Saturn.

What exactly do we need to start documenting? Everyone you have interacted with in this community immediately knew you were doing something illegitimate while you were dying on your hill insisting that WE were the crazy ones. This kind of thing just goes without saying on every leaderboard. And whatever this new claim that "newer stuff will eventually also stop working"... what the fuck are you even talking about here? Actually don't answer that. Just fuck off.
