I'd say there is a zero percent chance of this ever happening :D
The original Apple TV was an Intel Core Solo with 256 MB of RAM and an nVidia GPU, running a modified Mac OS X 10.4 that booted into something similar to Front Row instead of Finder.
Oh interesting, it looks like that geforce had an entire 64mb of gddr3 too, it'd still be fun to see if one could limbo that low, though I agree that save for upgrading the BGA ddr3 of the wii to something more the size of the dev kit had(128mb GDDR3)
As far as I recall, none of the USB drives of the iMac era could read 400/800K GCR disks, they were PC drives that could only use 720/1440K disks. The Imation SuperDisk drives could also use their own 120MB “floptical” disis. Later versions extended it to 240MB, and could also write 32MB to a standard floppy disk.
MFS refers to the file system used on 400K disks. 800K disks used HFS.
I learned Objective-C and Cocoa in the days of manual reference counting. I use Swift for new personal projects, I don’t plan to rewrite the old ones in Swift for no reason, but I may add new features in Swift even if not strictly necessary.
Ah, so you're the one I have to thank for that! I've used it on Solus and a few others after my dual 867 "Mirrored Drive Doors" machine went down. Thanks!
Unfortunately, this is not the complete picture. The T2 simply programs the embedded flash within the PCH over an eSPI interface. Meaning, a successful reprogram from the T2 WILL persist until the following occurs:
rickmark here: Sorry no, that's inaccurate. The T2 provides MacEFI.im4 to the Intel processor by emulating a flash controller over eSPI. So by modifying this file, and removing signature checks you can run any payload you like (see the EFI replacement video)
Yes, sigchecks had to be patched out of the kernel. And yes, it does not persist T2 reboot, but T2 only reboots if you hold power button for 5 sec. MacOS "reboot" does _not_ reboot T2.
