referencing the official Nintendo DS ("nitro") SDK while writing code for libnds\*. WinterMute has a huge
|
||||
siege mentality issue when it comes to DevkitPro, which is why nobody has been able to get through to him,
|
||||
as any criticism of his work or the way he manages his project has always been met with extreme hostility.
|
||||
This is why nothing has ever been done about these issues with the project, even after all these years.

\* Edited to note: This should not be taken to imply that any or all of libnds itself is tainted with SDK
|
||||
code. The commit in question itself only adds fairly standard cache maintenance functions, and is not itself
|
||||
evidence that there was substantial copying. It just reflects poorly on WinterMute that he was referencing
|
||||
the leaked SDK, especially for something as trivial as this. For a more thorough take on the general
|
||||
mismanagement of the devkitPro project as a whole, please read
|
||||
[this](https://heyquark.com/brew/2020/07/13/leaving-devkitpro/) blog post. The stories told there track
|
||||
very closely with our experience with that team way back in the Wii days, and it seems nothing has changed
|
||||
nor improved after all these years.
