ROM Grabbers for old school Macs

24bit — Sat, 19 Jul 2014 20:12:08 +0000

Application file:

ROM_Grabbers.sit

getrom-mac.sit

Some utilities were available for grabbing your Mac´s ROM for use with emulators.
The upload sports Copy ROM and ROM Grabber, but misses GetROM.

Included with the upload is a ROM grabbed from SS - proof of concept.

[2nd DL]: Have added Lauri Pesonen's GetROM application (& source).
Compressed using Stuffit 3.6 for reasonable backwards compatibility (SSW 6.x & later).
Note: Do read the enclosed "important.txt" document before using this program.

Compatibility:

ROM Grabber is PPC coded (requires PPC Mac running SSW 7.1.2 or newer)
Copy ROM & GetROM are 68k coded (runs on any Mac)

Install Stacker once, and you never have to think about it again. Our patented Stac® LZS™ technology automatically stores your data more efficiently so you can put more data on your disk. It's that simple. So it's not really magic – it's just smart.

DropStuff 3.5

IWishTodayWasStill2004 — Mon, 28 May 2012 14:14:50 +0000

Application file:

dropstuff_3.5.2.bin

DropStuff 3.5's main addition to StuffIt 3.0 was that, in Mac OS 7.1 or later, you can drag any amount of files and folders in the Finder onto the icon for DropStuff or an alias to it instead of having to use the standard dialog and DropStuff will create the archive with the files dropped onto it's icon. With the introduction of this feature, it was also the first version that was named "DropStuff".

Compatibility:

DropStuff will only run on Mac OS 7.0 or later because, for some reason, it HAS TO keep checking for AppleEvents regardless of whether the system software it is running on supports AppleEvents or not. However, the "Expander Enhancer" bundled with DropStuff that the equivalent version of StuffIt Expander can also expand .zip, .arc, .gzip, .z, .pkg, .uu, and StuffIt SpaceSaver archives with, for StuffIt Expander 3.5, will work on System Software 6.

StuffIt Expander and DropStuff with EE 4.0

mrdav — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 07:51:14 +0000

Application file:

expander__dropstuff_w_ee....sit

Here is a Disk Copy 4.2 image of an original floppy disk distributed by Aladdin Systems (see screenshot). The disk contains DropStuff 4.0 installer, StuffIt Expander 4.01 and StuffIt Expander for Windows. Worth archiving an original disk I think.

Compatibility:

StuffIt Expander runs on SSW 6.x and later. The DropStuff application requires SSW 7.0 or newer (gets "Requires Apple Events. Upgrade to Mac OS 7.0 or later" error alert). In SSW 6 you cannot drag an archive to the Expander icon to extract, you have to navigate to the archive via the Expander's "Open" file menu.
