Try mounting them using the "ftsuffix" option: $ mount <image_file> <target_dir> -t adfs -o ftsuffix=1 From <https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/filesystems/adfs.txt>: ftsuffix=n When ftsuffix=0, no file type suffix will be applied. When ftsuffix=1, a hexadecimal suffix corresponding to the RISC OS file type will be added. Default 0. [...] To enable non-RISC OS systems to be used to store files without losing file type information, a file naming convention was devised (initially for use with NFS) such that a hexadecimal suffix of the form ,xyz denoted the file type: e.g. BasicFile,ffb is a BASIC (0xffb) file. This naming convention is now also used by RISC OS emulators such as RPCEmu. Mounting an ADFS disc with option ftsuffix=1 will cause appropriate file type suffixes to be appended to file names read from a directory. If the ftsuffix option is zero or omitted, no file type suffixes will be added.
