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 :)
