Not really. You need one driver to access the CD, for example
UDVD2, and one driver to access the files on it, for example
SHSUCDX, so you always need two drivers for your game.

Your problem seems to be related to copy protection. There was
a discussion about this in 2021 where I wonder whether and which
features available only in commercial drivers are required to
make copy protection work. In other words, the suggestion was
to use e.g. a driver from a Windows 9x boot disk instead of UDVD2
and see what happens. Back then, I was looking for people to help
me by testing whether patching e.g. your OAKCDROM driver to remove
one of the features: If that makes OAKCDROM behave like UDVD2 and
your game refuses to play, then we know which feature would have to
be added to UDVD2 to support copy protections :-)

It surprises me that your OAK driver asks so many questions about
the drive controller, but nothing worse than crashing should happen
if you give the wrong answers.

If you can confirm that your game works with another driver, then
I would be happy to help you to selectively break that driver, as
described above, to learn how to improve UDVD2 :-)

Regards, Eric

PS: The thread probably was around the beginning of June 2021.
I have a copy of the 41302 byte 1998 OAKCDROM as reference.
