Hacking Help me identify this old R4 card (no sticker or package)

[Candyblast928]

I found an old R4 card for the DS Lite back home, but I can't figure out which version it is due to the sticker being gone. The sticker was removed a long time ago (don't ask me why).

None of the Wood firmware I've tried so far works (all I get is "Loading") so maybe my 2GB Micro SD card simply isn't right for this R4..? I don't think it's a clone, but feel free to correct me.

Here are some pics:

Appreciate any help!

have you tried the kernel of R4i Gold 3DS?

You're probably going to need to get the PCB out to get an ID on it.

Easiest way to tell is to open it up.

It looks very similar to my very old card.
Have you tried reformatting ypur sd card with that Panasonic tool.

Good luck.

the cards' color is similar to R4i Gold 3DS

But R4i Gold 3DS doesn't have a screw.
Can you open the card and post pictures of the PCB?

Might be an original R4 DS. Try the kernel from www.r4ds.com or www.r4ds.me

If true it would only work in an original DS or DS Lite of course
