This is why...ungrateful pieces of **** like you.
Everything he does is in his free time and for free. Be happy he released anything in the first place. He doesnt owe the "scene" anything
Rinnegatamante quit because he threw a hissy fit over incredibly minor stuff (he blew up over for example someone suggesting he renamed a mention in the LPP-3DS docs of LUA to lua since the official notation is lua) and because people disagreed with him using adfly on his projects (adfly is like shady sites 101). His final cause of him leaving the scene is because someone made another DSP Dumper that was open source and included a minor dig at Rinne using adfly. I'm very sorry but Rinne's BS is unrelated to the current things the scene is plagued by, since it happened a couple years ago and is of an entirely different brand of drama than the shit that you could claim against the current scene.
And for the record, he still does this kind of behavior. Check his twitter account, he just moved on to the Vita scene.
CHMM2 always was a buggy unfinished mess I only barely got working. It's just that up until about a year ago there was no real alternative since nobody cared enough. Then Erman made Themely, Themely went closed source, astro released Annemone and now Annemone is recommended.
Saying "he doesnt owe the scene anything" is correct, but I feel it is entirely unrelated to what I am saying, which is that CHMM2 is and always has been a buggy unfinished mess. It's true that I consider the developer a shithead for several reasons, but I'm not shitting on him for releasing unfinished software (since I feel that would be hypocritical). I'm shitting on his buggy software that by todays standards is hilariously outdated.
Calling it a piece of shit is wrong though, I'll admit that much. It is a stoned out turd, left as a relic for archeologists to wonder about. Your argument for using CHMM2 in this day and age is like saying you still use MSET because you think the developer of MSET put so much effort into it and you dont feel that should go to waste.
Does Anenome have the console specific themes like CHMM2 supported? That's what I'm looking for, presently.
Anemone supports any theme released for the 3DS on either themeplaza.eu (recommended) or 3dsthem.es (not recommended since the developer is a shithead) or themes developed by yourself. It has QR downloading support, which is better than CHMM2's integration with the API since the API has been broken for a long time now and isn't dependant on a specific site.
