This is officially abandonware. Typing this just to let you know, tho I hope nobody (except for me) was actually using this software. This repo is proof of me failing as a programmer, but it's also a call to let everyone know, it's fine to have a project that went rogue. Never give up and never let yourself down.

- games will still interpret input from the controller. It's a double sided blade...
Proper documentation coming soon™.
