How to use R4i gold 3DS for N3DS console?
At first,let's talk sth about R4ids.cn team and its two items --R4i gold & R4i gold 3DS.

These two cards were released by R4ids.cn team. Their official site is www.r4ids.cn. They are running Wood R4 kernel or R4i official firmware.Until now (April 21th 2011),the latest wood kernel is Wood R4 kernel V1.28 and official kernel is R4i V1.51b,i will use wood R4 kernel firmware to show you how to use this nintendo 3ds flashcard..After you get this flashcard, you can download and use either of them.Personally,i suggest you use the Wood r4 kernel,because it updates more frequently and gives you better game experience.
From the package of two different products, we know that the major difference is that there is a red "3DS" label outside in the 3DS package box. And about the inside package, the appearance is the same., but there are two different cards, R4i gold is only for DS/DSi , R4i gold 3DS are available for both DS and 3DS.
R4i gold is the first item they released which only working for DS/DSi ,please notice, it is only working for DS/DSi, can not run on 3DS.And also you can't update the firmware to support 3DS, no way to do it. If you want to use it on 3DS, please buy the R4i gold 3DS, This time, the review sample i got is a R4i gold 3DS , but also it works on DS/DSi/3DS.So whatever DS console you have, you can use it with the same Wood R4 kernel.
