mount .dsk in OSX

Post by nsputnik »

I want to extract some files I made in Mini vMac. I thought I might load it into SheepShaver and use Shrink Wrap but it will not open. I am pretty sure I have done this before but I can't remember.

My .dsk disk images may be added to the SheepShaver Volumes GUI to mount.
Once mounted, you might move the files onto a HFS+ volume to mount it on your host OS or copy over files via the shared folder (Unix).
Ronald posted in some thread that apps are loosing their resource fork when moved over Unix.
Not sure when this feature was introduced, 10.14, 10.15?

This issue was related to the change from HFS+ to APFS files system in later macOS 10.13 versions and subsequent macOS versions. It is solved in current SheepShaver and BasiliskII for macOS builds from kanjitalk755 source that I posted here.
