I considered this! There were a lot of things I wanted to try but didn't want the timeline of this project to blow up any more than it already had. Now that I've done the hard part…

Thanks! The project was mostly C for the bootloader and C++ for the drivers. As for which part was the most challenging... probably understanding the IOKit driver model. I really w…

Last I checked, the 60fps frame buffer conversion resulted in the system idling at 18% CPU. Certainly not ideal. I'd love to optimize this further.

Yes - this project (and countless others) would not have been possible without the incredible work to hack the Wii from Team Twiizers (now fail0verflow) back in the day. The work t…

Very cool! I'd love to learn more. That seems extra challenging considering Mac OS 9 is closed source!

With the extra RAM, higher clock speed, and no need to waste CPU cycles converting YUV -> RGB framenbuffers - I bet it would be!

I felt similarly. The learning curve was a tad steep, especially since I had never written a driver before, but once I figured out how to structure things and saw the system come a…

I used plenty of non-agentic AI to help understand the XNU codebase, and also research various topics. It wasn't always correct, but it certainly helped at times! My philosophy for…
