Because games works with TOC/LBA.
it cannot just seektoend because the game works with many files with in loadeded into ram and need pointers because its not an individual file.
So generally have a table pointing the files begin and end.
or some kind of math to do the same job.

I strongly suggest you read some document of asmromhacking.
Because its seems you are very newbie in this subject.
