31b57e58c7Removed AzaharPlus configuration from Nintendo3DS.json. @PabloMK7 kindly requested that we reconsider supporting AzaharPlus from Cocoon due to to a few reasons: Firstly, it directly infringes on Azahar's licensing and the "developer" of AzaharPlus was extremely dismissive and shitty when it came to trying to find a middle ground. You can read more here https://github.com/AzaharPlus/AzaharPlus/issues/13 Secondly, it contains lots of copyrighted material directly facilitating Piracy such as game seeds. I get this decision may be annoying for some - but I do not want to support shitty practices & behaviour like this. Pablo was extremely understanding when contacting me about this, saying he gets if we overlook this due to the nature of Cocoon being a game launcher - however I and the team agree with his issues with this application. |
