You could mount the adf using some of the virtual disk image gizmos, or:

1. Write the ADF to RAD:
2. Modify the files on RAD:
3. Write the RAD back to ADF.

If the original disks were in amiga dos format then yes. Either by loading them in UAE or by ADFexplorer and treat them as regular disk

However, most game disks are not in Amiga dos format (df0:ndos icon on the workbench) so unless you have an editor for the game or are very good with a hexeditor I'd say, no you can't edit the teams

Welcome aboard amiga.org by the way...

@Brain,

Luckily, you did offcourse make backups of the ADF files ?

Don't remember ADFexplorer to cripple adfs, never tried it on hardfiles..

Thanks for your reply, however I do not understand what you mean by RAD. Could you please explain? (or anybody else)
Thanks

Thanks, but how do I go about writing my .adf file to "RAD"
and how do I edit it, and how do I write it back?
Thanks
