"I figured there'd must be clean, pixel-perfect GIFs or PNGs of them somewhere on the web. And perhaps there are, but after poking around a bit, I ran out of energy for that, but by then had a head of steam for extracting the patterns en masse from the original source, somehow. Then I could produce whatever format I needed for them."
"Start System 6 (drag the ROM onto the Mini vMac icon, then drag the System 6 disk onto the window when you see the flashing floppy disk). Mount the ExportFl and sitPack disks by dragging their files and dropping on the classic Mac desktop. In emulation Double-click sitPack to launch the program. Command-O to open, then navigate to the startup disk by clicking "Drive". Scroll to find "System Folder" and double-click on it."
The original set contains 38 8×8 black-and-white patterns introduced in System 1.0 (1984) and unchanged in later versions. A System 6 disk image provides convenient access to utilities for extracting those patterns. Boot System 6 in the Mini vMac emulator by dragging the ROM and the System 6 disk image into the emulator window. Mount ExportFl and sitPack disks on the emulated desktop. Use sitPack to open the System file, navigate to the System Folder, and save the output as System.sit at the top level of the startup disk. Use ExportFl to open System.sit and save the extracted file for transfer to a modern Mac, then extract the saved archive with a modern unarchiver.
