Is it possible to Rename slave files and keep the installs working ?

About the Slave files in the whdload installed games, Can i rename the slave files to something else and keep the games working ?. I know i have to rename the .info file also and modify it to point to the slave file that has been renamed. I tested it on a single disk game and it seemed to work fine, But is that the rule ? Maybe some more komplex multi disk games need the slave with a specific name ?. Or can renaming the .slave files always work ?
