Using CSMWrap to get BIOS on UEFI only systems

[ayavilevich]

Hi,

Saw a tool called CSMWrap (https://github.com/FlyGoat/csmwrap) on Hackaday (https://hackaday.com/2025/05/29/bring-back-the-bios-to-uefi-systems-that-is/) and I wonder if this is something that can be used to get SpinRite running on a UEFI system without using a Linux Boot USB and VirtualBox.
Looks like this can boot FreeDOS. I am not sure how to use it exactly myself but maybe somebody will be interested to investigate this further.

Regards,
Arik.

Per what I read there it would seem the developer(s) did not do all their homework. So, while it works on some systems there are still incompatible systems.
