Mount packed data files of various games (PACK, WAD, etc.)

Fusepak is a small program that makes it possible to mount PACK or WAD files used in many games, most notably by id Software under a directory. This is achieved by using FUSE Filesystem in Userspace. The following formats are supported

  • WAD, can be found in Wolfenstein 3D and Spear of Destiny games
  • PACK, can be found in Quake, Quake2, and other games based on id Software’s Quake engine
  • WAD2, can be found inside of PACK files
  • LGP, can be found in PC version of Final Fantasy VII
  • PAK, can be found in Dune 2
  • KSGRP, can be found in Duke Nukem 3D

Secondary goal of fusepak is to provide simple framework which allows one to quickly add support for another file format.
