An EFI application to play the silly video

bad-apple-efi

The bad apple video but bootable, powered by 🦀

Note

The EFI application does not actually include the audio, it has merely been ffmpeg'd into the demo video. Audio support would involve a complete refactor and removal of all reliance on GOP, and instead move towards writing directly to the frame buffer, so that PC Speaker can be used, which requires an exit of boot services. Pull requests are welcome!
