Comment:

 Your FPFP-Floppy game files are incomplete. You need to run the game's
 installer to create one big RESOURCE.000 out of all of the floppy disks,
 and also to create the correct RESOURCE.AUD file and others.

 RESOURCE.000 is split into separates files on each floppy disk, where each
 part is named RESOURCE.000. The installer glues them together. You have
 only copied one of those over, so it's only 1.4MB instead of the correct
 5MB. This is described in:
 https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php?title=Freddy_Pharkas

 For most SCI games you can manually concatenate these files together, but
 FPFP-Floppy is special. You must run the game's installer, because it runs
 a utility program that  does some magic audio decompression that no one
 understands to create the correct RESOURCE.AUD and also patch the other
 resource files.
