As Paul Pratt, the current developer of the vMac legacy, will tell you, getting those files into Mini vMac to put onto an HFS image is a simple matter of creating a startup disk with his ImportFL application. hqx formats, most of which will not open under OS X, which either way leaves one with the problem of getting them onto an HFS image which Mini vMac can use. I still see many classic files routinely being sent as stand alone, or.
Though there are a number of ways to get around getting files onto an HFS disk image, none of them are simple. Your implementation of HFS write (and I'm sure eventually read – maybe even as soon as 10.7), is far more important than reading an MFS image, much less writing to one given that capability in Mini vMac. Now I have only installed the included package pre-built file system, so perhaps it can be reconfigured to work under Snow Leopard, but without knowing exactly what broke it in the first place I'm clueless. Whatever file system reorganization caused HFS write to break, seems to have also disabled MFS read. It's based on hfsutils, and licensed under the GPLv2Ĭlick to expand.Yup. It's quite an early beta, but I'd like people to try it so we can find more bugs, and maybe even fix them some day.
#Macfuse 2.0 code#
The code is there to support creation/backup dates on items, but for some reason it never gets called, so they don't appear anywhere.
It can't change volume names, since that only works with apple-provided file system modules, MacFUSE can't do it.I don't recommend editing resource forks directly on the disk image, the documentation on setxattr isn't that clear about when/if an attribute should be truncated, and my testing on the subject was inconclusive, instead just use it to copy files to/from the HFS disks.Automatically blesses a folder when you copy a valid System file into it.Supports HFS file attributes and resource forks, of course.I haven't tried it with real media, but you can create HFS disk images, mount them, and copy things to/from them.įor Mini vMac/Basilisk/SheepShaver, you should make sure the disk image has no partition map, or else it won't be recognised. I started this quite some time ago, then ran into problems and let it rot for some months, but I now have a usable version.įuseHFS is a MacFUSE filesystem that provides write support for HFS disks.
