Hi Technicmaster0. I know the info you posted, and you are indeed correct. I have my original R4 still.
I never said Wood was based on the original R4 kernel. Helltoast asked "Isn't Wood based on the original R4, though? Will I be limited to 2Gb if I get a R4i Gold 3DS RTS?". Even though he said "based", I got the feeling what he meant was 'Isn't Wood for the Original R4, so does this mean I will only be able to use a 2gb card?'. So I kept my answer simple, by telling him, "Wood is for the original R4", but is used on R4iDS cards too, but without the 2gb restriction. If you see what I mean, I thought he was asking more about the 2gb restriction than the origins of the Wood kernel. Maybe I got my wires crossed.
I tried to steer him away from the Acekard 2i (whch he mentioned purchasing) due to the latest Wood being more recent than the last AKAIO, and much more likely to get and update if required. Plus, a R4iDS based card working on newer machines/firmware if he decides to get a newer machine (even though he said he wasn't at the moment).
