I don't know what to tell you. It's just not well-supported here. "We" (very loosely speaking) don't have enough volunteers nor developers. It's basically just blind guesswork, chasing ghosts. People just don't care enough to test or try or do anything. I'm sorry, but it's hard not to be extremely pessimistic. BTW, did you (also) try XGCDROM? I can't promise it will work, and I've never used it at all, but you could (also) try that. Yeah, so many solutions that may or may not work.
