Hmm ... Amithlon is not very compatible with games. Maybe 99% of the games will fail. Everything that tries to access the video chipset directly (bypassing the OS) will surely fail.

Amithlon is best for OS friendly utilities.
Everything that runs on Workbench should run (almost) without problems on Amithlon.

For running games on .adf format, try a wacky thing :

run the AMIGA port of UAE on Amithlon 8)

I've seen it somewhere ... Don't remember its URL, sorry.

And there's some Amiga programs to create a .adf from an Amiga floppy disk.

That way it's possible to put those floppy disks on CDROM, on .adf format.
