I’ll go more in depth about this little gadget later. For now, just take a peek at my Wokyis M5 Mac Mini dock…

Again, thanks mostly to Retro Tech Corner (and his amazing graphics), my rEFInd menu is ready. #Atari #RetroGaming The missing sauce? Change this line in the rEFInd conf file: “scanfor manual, external” and you should be good to go. youtu.be/23kM8tOdEjU?...

rEFInd menu running on internal SATA SSD.

I have now set up rEFInd on the internal SATA on the Atari VCS. While I have not figured out how to use that menu interface with a game controller, I have found an elegant solution. More soon... #rEFInd #WirelessKeyboardMouse

I turned this 2018 MacBook Pro into an Ubuntu laptop running LTS 22.04 and got the touchbar to work. Follow me for more recipes.
