Thanks for the request.
RefindPlus allows using legacy bootcode to boot other items that use this but there are no plans to convert/add booting RefindPlus itself via legacy bootcode.

I respect your not planning.
By the way, another thing about before.
Some old Macbook-s use Arrandale GPU
Situations of Arrandale GPU
If Legacy boot, Arrandale GPU supports 1366x768
, the same as resolution of screen, higher than 1024x768
;
If UEFI boot, Arrandale GPU supports 1024x768
at max, lower than resolution of screen, with graphical interface stretched horizontally.
Precedents with Solutions
In order to avoid graphical interface stretched horizontally, teams of CloverBootloader
have developed CsmVideoDxe.efi
and teams of OpenCore
have developed BiosVideo.efi
, used to make Arrandale GPU
loaded in the way of being loaded by CSM or Legacy Mode ,under UEFI_Mode, so graphical interface of UEFI can use higher resolutions from CSM or Legacy Mode, such as 1366x768
, the same as resolution of screen, higher than 1024x768
.
These are the source codes of CsmVideoDxe.efi
and BiosVideo.efi
https://github.com/CloverHackyColor/CloverBootloader/tree/master/CloverEFI/BiosVideo
https://github.com/acidanthera/OpenCorePkg/tree/master/Legacy/BootPlatform/BiosVideo
It is easy for you to adapt one of them for RefindPlus.
RefindPlus
, CloverBootloader
and Opencore
are bootloaders, many functions of which are designed for macOS.
2/3 of them have made Arrandale GPU support more resolutions, the 1/3 that haven't supported is RefindPlus.
- If you change your mind, you can clone and adapt for RefindPlus;
- If not, you can take it as if I haven't sent this message before and I still respect your not planning.

Hi,
In future, please kindly raise separate items for separate issues.
The answer for this additional issue is the same as the first. That is, there is no plan to look into the subject at this time.
Since it is easy to do, you can make a PR and this will be considered.

Sorry, I should have done, but I cannot send messages into that issue.
Now that you receive PR, it means that you think it is right but a little rare and you are too busy to achieve it.
I am not good at making .efi driver.
I cannot achieve, too.
How about to send those source_codes to Smith and issue to rEFInd?
I tried to send emails to Smith twice yesterday, both were intercepted and could not be delivered.
Could you help to send?
If Smith does, you will make use of what he will do.
It will save your time for your business.

You can do a PR to the rEFInd repo in sourceforge.
