ADF doesn't work, DMS work

Hi guys

This is the first time i spotted something like that

I always thinked that a converted ADF from DMS file works the same

But this is not the case

The demo "Spinotic" by Raize doen'st work if launched from ADF you get from converted DMS

Instead it works if you use the original DMS image

Files are in the zone for everyone who want to investigate and give some explanation

Thanks for attention, chip

A converted SCP works. ADF with ADF Workshop, HxC, GW Convert and disk-analyse doesn't work.

ADF Workshop shows fake files to load the boot-block are present. I'm guessing the ADF format doesn't cater for them. Someone else would know more.
The demo is a nice one.

I did some poking, demo checks whether or not a disk is writable and does different things based on that. DMS is write protected, while ADF isn't, so it crashes (it doesn't load something at the correct address). If you enable write-protected the ADF works.
