I believe a lot of the issues are related to packing routines as some will not run alternate versions of the same disk using different packers. I do check games with 1.62 if they don't run on 1.02 or 1.04.

Hello

there's no reason an old packing routine doesn't work with Hatari while 
a new packing routine would work, it's just 68000 asm, so there's no 
relation.

But from my experience, a lot of dumpw you find on the net are broken, 
bad ST or MSA images. On Atari-forum, someone checked nearly all 
automation and pompey pirates compils, some didn't work on Hatari, but 
when I wrote the image on a floppy and tested it on my STF, it crashes too.

So, unless you can double check those disks on a real STF (or if it 
works under Steem but not Hatari), I would consider that's a bad image.
