It doesn’t seem well known these days, but the classic ResEdit Application can be extended to add additional functionality by adding TMPL
, RSSC
, and PICK
resources to either the ResEdit Preferences
file or ResEdit
itself.
aete
An RSSC
-based editor for Apple Event Terminologies. I don’t really know anything about this one, but:
CODE
A decompiler RSSC
that can be installed into ResEdit
to more easily view assembly without needing an external program, CODE Editor
:
gbly
A TMPL
which adds support for the gbly
resource, which controls system patching support for machines(?):
gusd
A TMPL
which adds support for gusd
, used to define the supported devices for a System file using the gestalt ID. For instance, it’s common to make changes to this when using a IIsi ROM with an SE/30 to enable 32-bit clean support. Instead of the typical process of editing raw hex, you can install this TMPL
to add native support to the ResEdit
UI:
For instance, when following Gamba’s proceedure to install the OS on an SE/30 with a IIsi ROM, you can easily modify gestalt 9
from 3
to 5
instead of performing a more delicate hex modification. Otherwise follow the normal steps.
