Remove support for HPI archives

Post by FLOZi »

Surely everyone is using sdz/sd7 which are much easier to work with than ancient OTA archive formats. It's not like OTA content can just be dropped right into the mods folder anymore. I'm amazed this stuff is still in the source, is there some reason I'm overlooking? :shock:

http://github.com/spring/spring/blob/ma ... iveHPI.cpp
http://github.com/spring/spring/blob/ma ... chiveHPI.h

And a bunch of lines in System/FileSystem/ArchiveFactory.cpp

Only that no one did it and that it's well enough designed to not block any new functionality. (unlike e.g. the hardcoded startscripts)

But otherwise I agree that it can go.
