Comment on Azahar Is Dropping Official Support for Anbernic Handhelds Over an Unofficial Emulator Fork

AzaharPlus is much more comfortable for a 3ds user. With a modded console you can use FBI to extract your games to cia format and play them as is; instead of being forced to decrypt it on an external tool which adds one unnecessary step

Haha for context: the 3DS’s native format for apps/games/etc. is called “cia”, for some reason. Probably like “CTR installable application” or some shit, I dunno.
FBI is a pun on that, it’s a homebrew CIA installer tool.

If I had to guess, decryption is intentionally kept separated to limit Nintendo’s lawyers from going nuclear on them, even if it is less user friendly.
