I have tried the short cut by downloading my games in an already ADFed state but most of these are cracked so the installers for WHD & JST don't work.


Ahh... but if you have the originals, why not WHD or JST them to the hard drive on your miggy?  Then you could .lha the directory, and transfer THAT to the new machine?

Of course, if your miggy doesn't have a HD, you're screwed.  ;-)

As long as I can find a way to ADF them on my shiny new A1.


I'm not sure you're going to be able to ADF them, ever.  As far as I know, you can't ADF a disk that uses a custom sector layout, or something like that.  I believe the general rule of thumb is that if you can't copy the disk with XCopy's "FastCopy" module, you can't make an ADF of the disk.  That's why most abandonware games like on BTTR are the cracks and not the originals.
