My EFI patch works! Turns out, it has to be packed into the original dump whereas I kept trying to patch it into the feature unlocked website V0.7 version. That doesn't work. I do want to try and figure that out, though.

Like father, like daughter! @BryceDHoward, don’t think I didn’t catch that awesome homage paid to your dad! Considering that Apollo 13 is my favorite-favorite movie, I caught it right away! 🤩 @themandalorian I know I can’t be the only one who geeked over this! #TheMandolorian
