Why would R4 come back for the Switch? Well come to think of it, it's probably just a clone of SXOS that will brick your Switch like their Gateway clones bricked many 3DS systems

Interesting! Probably a clone of SX, but still curious about what it offers.

See me curious, in this case.
This really came out of nowhere.

If it's cheap, I might get it for the dongle.

Also 'thanks' the following:

What's truly bizarre is that it shows a 1.0 3ds home menu screen in the Quick Start PDF.
(and lol Customer Firmware)

Overall it seems like they're using OSS homebrew software to power this thing. No surprise there.

Anyway, competition is good. Glad this is happening.

Hell yeah, this is the jankiest looking thing all around.

Not seeing any mention of a License activation. That would be a huge advantage over SX.

Thats some janky xci installing, I guess the only question is the cost.

 

[nWo]

Interesting nonetheless...
