Also it could depend on the game used. Some games check the CRC of the files (at least bootup) so it may fail with a slightly better error message than a bare crash (that you get because you only have a 68000 and it's difficult to recover from a crash because there's no VBR)
Have you tried several games? which ones?

No.
AmigaDOS copy command doesn't attempt to copy the entire file in one hit, it does it in chunks, so the max transfer issue never raises its head.
WHDLoad when preloading, loads the files in one chunk, hence it falls foul of max transfer issues.
Its not WHDLoads fault obviously, Berts way is faster to load, AmigaDOS when doing it in chunks is a design to run on low memory machines legacy.
