 this issue went without discussions at all for 3 years...
 Because this is a bug that appears after the endgame, and until last
 week's release it was impractical to play the entire game with #12998.

 > Anyway, please note that is not a common usecase, basically you expect
 to move files between different engines without user itervention. I don't
 think this ever happens anywhere else in ScummVM.
 Like you wrote above, you didn't work a lot on SCI but over there every
 QFG game does it. QFG4 accepts only QFG3-*.sav, QFG2-*.sav and QFG1-*.sav
 files. QFG3 accepts only QFG2-*.sav and QFG1-*.sav files. The original
 QFG2 accepts only QFG1-*.sav files. And when #14754 becomes official, QFG4
 and QFG3 will even accept qfg2agdi-*.sav files. If QFG5 become supported
 it will also accept QFG4-*.sav files. But none of them accepts their own
 files.
 This is even though QFG4 in infamous for actually accepting its own files
 (which is a cheat). But in ScummVM one has to rename them to a previous
 game to make it work for the mere principle of not accepting the game's
 own files.
