This doesn't have to do with coding--well, kinda--but no one is clear about if such a question is against the rules. It is Computercraft related though!

I wanted to know how the computercraft mod implements it's virtual filesystem. (e.g.: the /rom mount)
This is something I've been investigating for quite a long time but no one seems to have an answer!
Thanks again.

I think that's done java-side. However, the lua docs are available if you want to look through them: https://github.com/a...mputercraftLua.

Oh, I know it's done java-side. I was just wondering if someone had any knowledge of how, exactly, it accomplishes it.

Computer Craft's file system is just your actual computer's file system. If your looking for the Java class that's used to access the real computer's file system, I believe you're looking for java.io.File

You seem to misunderstand me. I know this, but I want to know how it handles things like the "/rom" mount, which is virtual.

[KingofGamesYami]

So, you want the actual java code they use to mount the /rom? In that case, I have no idea, I don't know Java. (yet)

Take a look at the API for CC. There's an interface called IMount. An addon can create virtual mounts like /rom using IMount.
