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.

The N5 unfortunately.

But it may be canceled soon too since it's a clone.

Yeah, but it has been doing their own updates though.

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.

for those that need it the R4 can use hacked TTDS/YASU menu so the R4 is NOT DEAD YET!!!

Lumstar · Jul 28, 2008

Who knows? R4 seems to be the world's most popular slot 1 cart. I haven't heard much from the company, if anything.

xJonny · Jul 28, 2008

kobykaan, the posts I've seen you make recently make you sound like an R4 fanboy.

ahtin is probably the person here who is most trustable with news like this.

Lumstar · Jul 28, 2008

No idea. The only flash cart I own is a Supercard CF.

Doomsday Forte · Jul 28, 2008

I'm kinda worried since I never upgraded to a slot-1 device, and I use their M3 Perfect SD. I mean, granted there haven't been any firmware updates since...uh, forever, but it still works rather well for me. There's actually a new Chinese firmware out but even then...

I can safely assume this news doesn't affect me seeing how they don't really support what I have anyway. =P I'm amazed it's lasted this long.
