Comment (by csnover):

 SCI had two naming conventions for patch files, `type.123` and `123.TYP`.
 The former was used by early SCI games and the latter used starting around
 SCI1.1. QFG1EGA uses the former, QFG1VGA uses the latter.

 The original QFG1EGA interpreter would just not notice these new style
 patches at all, but ScummVM loads them unconditionally, which it obviously
 should not be doing since they are for a totally different of the
 interpreter. So while the mastering of this CD was poor, this is a bug in
 ScummVM which needs to be fixed (in `DirectoryResourceSource`).
