It's probably a protection check, I'll investigate

EDIT: Some sectors are missing from the floppy image, I'll re-image and update the OP and PackMan packages in due course.

Re: Game requests

From your description, it sounds like the ADF of disc 1 might be truncated or damaged in some way.

Re: ADFFS 2.84 public beta

ADFFS build updated in the OP. Use with caution as it has not been tested to any extent. Two notable changes: Palette changes are now Gamma corrected SWI raised via OS_CallASWI/R12 are now checked for SWI that need to be intercepted for ADFFS to work It's the last of those changes that I've not test...
