Due to technical limitations, a lot of old homebrew applications will no longer work with Aroma.
This includes all `.elf` homebrews, but also some `.rpx` homebrews, which don't implement necessary functionality properly.
This includes all `.elf` homebrews, but also some `.rpx` homebrews(i.e. RetroArch), which don't implement necessary functionality properly.
These homebrews need to be updated with support for Aroma. To run old homebrews you need to boot the Tiramisu environment.
Launching homebrews through the now outdated Homebrew Launcher is no longer possible with Aroma.
Besides the limitations mentioned above, note that Aroma is still a beta release. Not everything has been tested yet, and additional issues might be discovered.
