QUOTE(silent sniper @ Jul 28 2008, 06:15 PM) Is there still gonna be updates? Not a chance in hell. They've ALREADY stopped releasing updates. They should open source their loader now, they have nothing to lose. Though they won't - but it would be nice, and with the high popularity R4 had when it first came out, before there came flashcarts with more features, I bet it would get all those nice features pretty quickly if they open sourced it, as opposed to AKRPG, which never had such a high popularity. |

Ahtin, is it 100% closed doors for R4 then (nothing will come from them in the future for current owners), or is it that they are moving to a SDHC compatible product finally and discontinuing their current R4 line? I had the thought something was coming in september... Be interesting to see how this turns out. It wouldn't be terribly difficult to make a (new) loader that is open source, but if they are going to entirely ditch their customers who made them popular while filling their pockets... source would be nice as maintenance from them directly has been lacking.
