As the title says. I got Bad Apple running on Microsoft Validation OS variant of Windows 11, and with audio running through the DirectKS API on top of that.

There's instructions in the README.md for running it in text mode. No guarantee it will work through; I forgot the exact steps, but chances of it working is higher than not.

There is a relatively good explanation in this wikipedia article:

It kind of does, but it's exclusive to programs running in the pre-GUI environment.
