SwresTools is a set of two tools for exploring and dumping classic Macintosh resource forks, written in Swift.
|
|
|
|
SwresTools can convert some resources to modern types. For example, it can translate some <code>snd </code> resources to WAV files.
|
|
|
|
To be honest, this was just a fun side project and shouldn't be used for anything important.
|
|
|
|
### SwresExplode
|
|
|
|
`SwresExplode` dumps the resources of a classic Macintosh resource fork to individual files.
|
|
|
|
For example, list all of the resource types in a resource fork:
|
|
|
|
SwresExplode resourcefile
|
|
|
|
Dump all `snd ` resources to individual files:
|
|
|
|
SwresExplode -d -t 'snd '
|
|
|
|
### SwresFUSE
|
|
|
|
`SwresFUSE` mounts a resource fork as a filesystem. It requires [FUSE for macOS][fuse].
|
|
|
|
Example usage:
|
|
|
|
SwresFUSE resourcefile mountpoint
|
|
|
|

|
### Why?
|
|
|
|
¯\\_(ツ)_/¯
|
|
|
|
### No, Really, Why?
|
|
|
|
I wanted to rip the music out of the old Mac game [Troubled Souls][troubledsouls], and this seemed like such a bad way to go about it I had to give it a go. I was playing around with Swift and thought this would be a fun way to write a project that interfaced with a C library.

### Buiding
|
|
|
|
You may need to point the header parameter of Modules/FUSE/module.modulemap to your FUSE header directory. For some reason module maps don't seem to respect header search paths and need absolute paths.
|
|
|
|
### Limitations
|
|
|
|
* The translators are very limited. Only Pascal style prefix strings and an extremely limited subset of `SND` resources are supported.
|
|
* ResEdit features like `RMAP` and `TMPL` resources are not supported.
|
|
* Editing or creating new resources is not supported. |
