Since some time ago, my R4 flashcart refused to boot up correctly. I often have to remove and re-insert the microSD card to get past the "No card" screen, and after that I just get an endless white screen.

I flashed TWiLight Menu++ in place of the original firmware, so there's no timebomb (which used to go off in 2009 on the original firmware).

The flashcart was bought from the official online store back in the day, so it's maybe around 20 years old now.

Is this R4 definitely dead or is there some hope?

The Steam version of CC is still at 2.053 while the web version is at 2.058, so the Steam version is missing the wrinkler ambergris and new maths for random drops.

Why isn't it updated?
