It's mainly a matter of which UI you prefer, for most Wood-based flashcards TWiLight supports using the original kernel so you can use TWiLight's UI with Wood's compatibility if you prefer (and that also allows using nds-bootstrap for the few things that don't work in Wood like DSiWare)Does this have advantages over TWiLightMenu (on a flashcart)? I've heard of Wood Firmware before but I'm not sure if it's still worth using these days when we have good free/open source options. I've got some R4s of some sort on the way from aliexpress.
The r4ids.cn version includes a 3DS sub menu for MSET (early 3DS hacking).Sorry/not sorry for the bump here, but what is the difference between the official v1.62 WOODR4 release and the one from r4ids.cn? They offer a newer version, v1.64 and I don't know what's changed since the official v1.62 release.

Thank you, I've literally been wondering this for almost 5 years now.The r4ids.cn version includes a 3DS sub menu for MSET (early 3DS hacking).
Hi there!
Today I have a strange question about microSD cards.
What do I know?
1 - microSD cards use flash memory
2 - flash memory have a limited number of write/erase cycles
3 - microSD cards can be SLC, MLC and TLC
4 - SLC have 100.000 write/erase cycles, MLC 10.000 and TLC 1.000
QUESTION!!!!!!!
I'm using a sandisk card that uses TLC technology... So, if I do NOT consider the write cycles I used to do when I copied the R4 system files, games and saves into my microSD card, I'll have 1K write cycles... But...
THIS MEAN I'LL ONLY BE ABLE TO SAVE A GAME 1.000 TIMES BEFORE THE CELLS START TO DEGENERATE? or... It can be more times than that? IS WRITE/ERASE CYCLES BASED ON CLUSTER SIZE? (I mean, a 64kb formated card have 64kb on each """block""", and each 'block' of this can be REWRITED 1.000 times or it is for the whole flash memory?)
'-'
Thank you. I use microsdhc class 10, u1 with 16GB of storage. It is sandisk and its serial number is SDSQUNS-016G-GN3MA.The write cycles mean based over the whole card, so if you happen to have a 2GB micro SD card, you can hypotheticly write over those 2gb a thousand times, thus 2000gb of writing. (basicing it on 1000 write cycles)
In general i do recommend higher-end microSD(HC) Cards (i personally always just buy Sandisk ones)

Latest kernel is v3.0 2013-7-12 PLUS kernel
Pay attention to the recommendation for the firmware required for this kernel to work - "requires firmware 1.5 or higher".
Latest firmware is v2.4 2013-12-26 R4I GOLD PLUS firmware, is on the same page, much lower (*).
Firmware update instruction is also on the same page, at the very bottom.
* difference between Deluxe and Standard/Simple Editions (refers to the choice of firmware option):
no secret, I would only try a newer mod firmware with more functions, instead the old original one.Apparently the wood that you are trying to run and your cart are alien to each other.
Update: By the way, what tricky goal are you trying to achieve, unless of course it's a secret?
Just get the most up-to-date kernel or something more different?
Here is a little for your cart:
The idea is to update the DAT files of Gold Plus kernel v3.0 even a bit more.
The file (DAT Update) that is mentioned in that old thread no longer exists (hosting is dead) and it is already outdated, but there is a newer version here:
Generally, the modern bootlegs (before 2012 or so they were real ROM based) are Ace3DSes, but of course who can say for sure?I’m looking for an r4 card. Has any of the multi-game cards (ie 500-in-one) on Amazon been tested?
Or this one (it says sdhc on it, so i want to make sure it’s compatible):
I just don’t trust the official chinese website for buying anything (security reasons), and finding the actual r4 cards that work are extremely hard without looking at the bootleg multi-game cards.

The other one is yet another disposable flashcard (r4isdhc.com is pretty much the knockoff of r4i-sdhc.com which is an inaccurate TTDS clone, I vaguely remember), poor quality that will likely self-brick some time or later due to firmware corruption, and most importantly for this topic - definitely not a Wood-compatible R4DS or r4ids.cn (unfortunately both of those sold out, worldwide, around some time in 2018)
Most reputable Western console modding stores like shop01media also stopped caring for the race to the bottom represented by these "yearly flashcards" and/or don't exist anymore...
