Playing Masquerade?

I've been trying to get Masquerade working, without success so far. I've tried each of the images on asimov on the cffa and I've also tried copying them from the cffa to physical floppies with Copy II+. Of course the images work fine in the AppleWin emulator, so I wonder what I'm doing wrong. I also wonder if somehow I might have more success with one of the floppy emulators out there, but if I haven't gotten it to work on real floppies I'm guessing not.

The most I've accomplished is getting it to fully boot but with the "NOT A MASQUERADE PICTURE DISK!" message (and no pictures obviously).

Has anyone gotten Masquerade to work with pictures? What do I need to do?

My problem was a bad RAM chip on my extended 80 column memory board. That was causing disk copies with Copy II+ to not produce good floppies. With the card pulled, I successfully copied the Masquerade images and the game starts properly... using physical floppies. It doesn't seem to work when booting the CFFA3000 still though, using the "4am" images at least. Curious why that is, or if there's a way to get Masquerade booting from the CFFA to work.

Have a link to the 4am image? I could try it on my IIe and let you know. 
Either in the next few days or maybe the 3rd week of VCFMW. I am preparing to go there with a bunch of stuff so I have more things hooked up atm but will be packing them up soon.
