True. However, I think the GoodTools in this aspect is of limited use,
because I don't think (??) you can get hold of the datasets and thus
can't use it without doing some nasty call out to GoodXXX to rename a
file and them process it...
Which is more popular I don't know, but at least TOSEC is chang"open".

Indeed :)
For disk images, I *think* they also name disks "Disk1", "Disk2", etc.
regardless of what they are actually named, so that could probably help too.
Question: Is there any hard reliance on ADF files for the Amiga portion
of MythGame? I have not had the opportunity to try it out yet, but I
mainly use IPF images (Interchangeable Preservation Format) which are
original (non-cracked) versions of Amiga games, meant for preservation -
but you can play them too :)
