This is neat if only for the file explorer, hopefully at least that part of your fork makes it into the standard Luma (I read the pull request and they said potentially so, meh). I can understand them not wanting to implement the CIA thing though since the CFW ban fearmongering is extremely real. People these days would rather just use .3dsx over .CIAs for apps. Maybe you can tweak it to download the .3dsx builds and place them in the correct directory instead? It would be pretty cool to have something like HomeBr3w/Brewman implemented in Rosalina; even if I never use HomeBrew myself others might want that.

Why can't it go into mainstream Luma? When people have issues using FBI from the homebrew launcher I will link them this fork (if it gets a release for people to use easily).

Luma devs aren't interested in adding useful features.
"Hi there. Thanks for this, but CIA installation is really out of scope for Rosalina; it's more appropriate for FBI which can be ran as a 3DSX if you do not want to use it as a installed CIA. However, the file explorer is useful, thank you for implementing that; we may utilize it or parts of it in the future." - Hikari-Chin
Though I would agree with you, you make a very good point.

Sorry but this is straight up bloat. I don't see why a cfw would need something like this when a tool like FBI already does it, and is constantly being updated.
Hmm I guess I can agree with you a bit. As much as I do love different flavours of similar programs, I sometimes wish these talented people would all stop making things that already exist that still achieve the same goal. Not that they have to make what people want, but through observation most of these projects never take off. How many "NTR/A9LH/B9S" SD packs are out there? How many streaming programs? Granted some have features others do not but they all essentially have the same main focus which in my opinion gets stagnant after a while.....

which you can use through rosalina's 3dsx loader to install the cia version.
Which can be done at least two other ways already though..... I don't care about "bloat" personally unless it's some milling background program. If there is a feature I think is unnecessary I just don't use it; or the program, whatever Lol. Still wish people would stop making the same programs over and over though.....

If you just want pi for emulation no point when Anbernic releases new shit every two seconds+1 -

What's really cool about Pi's tho is you can have multiple SD cards with different OS on each SD card and change from say a gaming machine to a full fledged pc if wanted -

Yeah but if your main goal is just to play n64 and GameCube you can save about $50 and have the portability option+1

For a kids aspect Anbernic would be the better option they'd probably melt over the price on a good 4k display+1

So they buy a pi5 kit for about $150 and say a 28" 4k display probably looking around $400 total

Again you get what you pay for, its like buying a S series for $300 but its only 1440p native, if you want true 4k, gotta get the X model for $500. But yea you right, when moms buying it anyways, you gotta stay cheap.

I here ya there, I have too many myself, and have hard time letting them go, since most of mine I've modded at some point. Anymore I just play Switch on the go, seriesx at home.

I'm designing my own entertainment cabinet for my man cave, to store all my systems, then I'm also designing a power supply/HDMI switcher so I can switch to whichever system I want, and power it also. Already picked up the cabinet board, but tinkering with my drawings before start

But yea, I have frogger arcade cabinet that I gutted and put a Pi4 then Pi5 into, but it never gets played much anymore, should sell it. Even when the kids come over, they don't want to play on it, just the xbox. TMNT and Simpson's arcade is still so fun on it, esp w 2 players.

Can't wait to see the new "stick" that can actually play Ps3 or 360 games. I know they are getting close.
