bink video 2 running under uefi

pretty cool right?

what is it?

a microkernel in denial simple bink player.. running under uefi!

how?

from the outside it looks like wine but less running under uefi instead of linux.
i respect the firmware, but i also make it dance.

i shim a subset of win32 calls up to vista (nt 6) and load the proprietary blob (dll).

nobody noticed this yet.
either a job offer or a C&D 🙏 (rad don't kill me)

how 2 build

open x64 vs dev prompt

  • build.bat
  • run.bat
  • enjoy

the video to play is fatroot/video.bk2
