 > Digressing a bit, but I'm seeing a similiar issue with "Hi-Res Adventure
 #3: Cranston Manor". <snip> I have an original copy of the floppy that
 isn't cracked, but ScummVM won't recognize it. For this game, it wants a
 13 sector floppy disk image, even though it doesn't support or look for
 this type of format for any of the other Hi-Res Adventure games from the
 Apple II. Why is this the only version supported? I spent quite a bit of
 time trying to figure out how to convert what I have into the 13 sector
 disk image. I'd literally have to fire up an Apple II and run a special
 version of ADT to do that. I didn't file a bug report because as far as I
 can tell, this is intended behavior to only support this one odd image.

 The main problem there was that the usual image format for 13-sector disks
 is .nib. The problem with the .nib format is that many different .nib
 files can describe the same data. So even though I had created a
 cranston.nib from our original floppy, adding that to the detection list
 was pointless, as the md5sum would never match someone else's
 cranston.nib. It's not possible to do proper detection without looking
 inside the .nib at the actual data stored within it. That's why I opted to
 use the uncommon .d13 format, which can be created with CiderPress.

 However, support for 'looking inside a .nib' has been added very recently
 and you should now be able to use a cranston.nib file as well. If your
 floppy dump is in some other format like kryoflux stream files or edd,
 we'll probably never support those formats directly, but can help with the
 conversion process.
