Most ADL games do not have file systems on their floppy disks. As a result, disk images need to be used to play these games in ScummVM. The detection mechanism of the ADL engine uses sector data to recognize these disk images. This means that as long as the base name is the same, any supported floppy image format can be used. For example, if [[ | Most ADL games do not have file systems on their floppy disks. As a result, disk images need to be used to play these games in ScummVM. The detection mechanism of the ADL engine uses sector data to recognize these disk images. This means that as long as the base name is the same, any supported floppy image format can be used. For example, if [[Mystery_House#Required_data_files|the required datafiles]] lists MYSTERY.DSK as the disk image name for the game you want to play, you can use either MYSTERY.DSK, MYSTERY.NIB, MYSTERY.WOZ etc. You can find more information on the supported formats below. | ||

A major hurdle with this method is that a modern PC disk drive requires a ''flippy mod'' to read the other side of a dual-sided disk. There are some workarounds for doing this with an unmodified disk drive, but they all involve damaging the sleeve of the original floppy. After obtaining stream files of the disk, [https://atariage.com/forums/topic/231835-a8rawconv-a-new-raw-disk-conversion-utility/ a8rawconv] can be used to create a .NIB image. | A major hurdle with this method is that a modern PC disk drive requires a ''flippy mod'' to read the other side of a dual-sided disk.

The only way to create a .WOZ image from stream files at this time is to use Applesauce (see previous section). | ||
