Finally got my aTV 4K connected to xcode!

Never could get it working in a VM. The pairing process, although mostly connecting over the network, uses some weird Bluetooth mode that simply is not possible in a VM. I want to see in-person these (Very few) people who say they've made it work from a VM.

Anyway, I got an Oculus Quest 2 as an upgrade to my CV1 Rift. Easier to use (no need for satellites for tracking), I decided to buy a new laptop so that I can use this thing on deployments with SteamVR and Oculus Rift games that I already own. New Laptop has a 10th gen i7 (couldn't wait for 11th gen laptop), a 16GB RTX 3080 mobile gpu, 32GB of ram, and 3TB SSD/NVME space. What to do with my older laptop? Hackintosh, baby!

It's been an adventure, and I still have several things to figure out. Battery display and control don't work. Closing then trying to open the lid, or coming out of sleep mode, freezes the system, and the trackpad doesn't work at all.

But... I've finally built Provenance-emu into my Apple TV 4K! Been wanting to accomplish that for a very long time. The 3 remaining hackintosh issues I have are too troublesome to work through and I have far too many new and shiny things to play with now to bother with it. It did it's job.

How is Provenance-emu on the aTV 4k? I'll let you know when I can take over the TV for a bit and load some roms. I've so far just verified that the app loads, and menus work. I've made the mistake of showing my wife that although I'm using an American AppleTV, and have it connected to my US Apple account, she can log into Amazon Prime video and Music with her Japanese account... I shouldn't have done that :P
