This page lists resource types used by the Myst and Myst ME engines.

Both Myst and Myst ME use little-endian byte order in the resource data, although the data itself is stored in properly formatted Mohawk format (don't let the .dni or .dat file extension fool you). The packages in Myst ME are:

  • CHANNEL
  • CREDITS
  • DUNNY
  • HELP (Myst ME only)
  • INTRO
  • MECHAN
  • MYST
  • SELEN
  • STONE
  • SYSTEM (Does not exist in all versions and only contains the RSFL resource)

The original Myst uses the following resource types:

Myst Masterpiece Edition introduces three new types:

None of the resources are named except for MSND and MJMP.
