Anti piracy measures by Epsitec

All the epsitec games use the same check: it looks in the config for which drive to check for the CD, makes sure it's a disc drive, and makes sure a specific file is on the disc (for example, world001 for SB) there's nothing further than that.

This check does not exist in Speedy Eggbert.
