# Legacy

Pretendo does not officially support legacy homebrew environments (Haxchi/CBHC) anymore. Legacy releases of the patcher may be found in old [releases](https://github.com/PretendoNetwork/Nimble/releases), and the source code may be found in the [old_hbl](https://github.com/PretendoNetwork/Nimble/tree/old_hbl) and [old_hbl_inkay](https://github.com/PretendoNetwork/Nimble/tree/old_hbl_inkay) branches on GitHub. However you will need to build these patches from source, and they will _**not**_ be receiving any updates or technical support. Please consider upgrading to Tiramisu/Aroma
