On macOS ScummVM directly accesses data and resource forks, however converting to MacBinary can be useful if you plan to transfer those files to a different system.
GAMES FOR SCUMMVM MAC ZIP FILE
It generates a ZIP file that can be extracted and then imported in ScummVM.
GAMES FOR SCUMMVM MAC ISO
The browser based dumper companion supports reading HFS media as ISO and disk images.
Using the browser dumper companion - preferred method Alternatively, use ``sudo blkid`` to list the mounted and unmounted devices with their ID.
Usually the device will be ``/dev/cdrom``, ``/dev/dvd``, or ``/dev/floppy``. Use the following commands to create an ISO image from an inserted HFS or HFS+ medium. In the example below the CD is the last disk listed as ``CD_partition_scheme``, and the identifier for the HFS partition is ``disk5s1s2``.Ģ: Apple_APFS Container disk4 121.1 GB disk0s2Ģ: Apple_APFS Container disk4 3.0 TB disk1s2ġ: APFS Volume Macintosh HD 1.8 TB disk2s1ġ: Apple_partition_scheme 682.2 MB disk3s1 HFS is no longer supported on macOS 10.15 and above, therefore those disk cannot be mounted and do not need to be unmounted. By default disks are mounted when they are inserted, and they need to be unmounted so that you can create the ISO file. Select the CD partition and look at the name under the *device* section.
List disks to get the identifier for the CD or floppy disk partition:Īlternatively, find this information using the Disk Utility application. Use the following commands in the Terminal to find the identifier of the media, and then create an ISO image of that media. Use an application such as `IsoBuster `_ to create an ISO image of the CD. If you are accessing HFS+ media in macOS, or HFS media on a macOS 10.14 Mojave system or older, this step is not required when using the Python dumper in MAC mode. If the original file name had special characters, the new file name will start with xn-,for example, xn-Icon-ja6e.įiles that contain prohibited characters are always puny-encoded. Punycode converts all non-ascii characters to a special format. ScummVM uses punycode to handle file names that would otherwise not be supported. ScummVM runs on a wide variety of platforms and not all those platforms can store Japanese filenames or other special characters, such as non-ascii characters. Macintosh also allowed special characters to be used that are disallowed in filenames on other platforms. The result is that a Mac copy of a game will not always show the correct filenames. To properly preserve the resource fork during the copy, those files need to be converted to a MacBinary file.įilenames in Japanese games are encoded in a way that is unique to Apple. Systems other than macOS do not support resource forks, and a regular file copy from a HFS or HFS+ media on such a system will only copy the data fork. Both are important for games to work correctly. A file can consist of two forks, a data fork and a resource fork. For those familiar with NTFS, it's the same principle as NTFS streams. Macintosh HFS and HFS+ media have a concept called forks. ScummVM's :ref:`Python-based dumper ` also supports the HFS+ format if you are using it on macOS. Most, if not all, Macintosh games supported by ScummVM were released on an HFS medium, but if you do have a HFS+ CD then check out the :ref:`macfileaccessother` section for ways to access these files.
GAMES FOR SCUMMVM MAC INSTALL
To view and copy the files from HFS and HFS+ floppy disks and CDs on a Windows or Linux system, you need to install additional software. Modern macOS computers can still access HFS+ media, but support for reading HFS media was dropped in macOS 10.15 (Catalina). Most game CDs released before the mid-2000 still use HFS.
GAMES FOR SCUMMVM MAC MAC OS
It was superseded by HFS+, or Mac OS Extended, with the release of Mac OS 8.1 in 1998. HFS ( Hierarchical File System), also known as Mac OS Standard, was used on Macintosh hard disk, floppy disks, and CDs until the late 90s. The Macintosh uses a different file system to other operating systems HFS for older media, and HFS+ for more recent ones. There are three main aspects of Macintosh floppy or CD media that can make it difficult to extract the game data: the file system, forks, and file name encoding.
