    Hi,Don't worry. Your card need upgrade the firmware(not mean the latest kernel)
    download the upgrade file ftp://r4idsdown:r4idsdown@soft.r4ids.cn/r4igold_3DS62_Patch.rar
    1) use a dsi or ds (the systme muust lower then 6.3.0)
    2)put the upgrade patch into the micro sd card
    3) run/process the patch file (Press A when select the upgrade patch)

    Here is an official tutorial
    http://3ds-flashcard.com/blog/how-to-upgrade-r4i-gold-3ds-wood-r4-1-62to-work-on-3ds-6-3-0-12/

    If the card can't work anyway, you need to buy a new one. I recommend the r4i sdhc
    Buy r4i SDHC

    The version of the 3ds XL is ver. 4.5.0-9E
    Does that make a difference?

    so your r4i gold cannot work on 3ds v4.5?
    seems it is a very old r4i gold card, but i remember the r4i gold team released patchs which can update your card to support v4.5.
    you can check their news page:

    http://www.r4ids.cn/news.htm

    Yes, at the middle part, there has news show the patch released.

    "The DSi 1.4.5&3DS V4.5.0-10 Patch for R4i Gold 3DS is released now!(2012-12-13)"

    Use that patch, follow the step other guys said, your card can be updated.

    That is great. That version can support gateway 3ds and R4i gold 3ds deluxe edition.

    Please do not update your console, you should buy a r4i gold 3ds deluxe edition ( http://www.digimartz.com/r4i-gold-3...s-games-with-r4i-gold-3ds-starter_p1215.html) instead, many people wish that they have a 3ds with verison between 4.2~4.5.

    true true but i am not going to bother because i would like to play pokemon x and y which both require the latest firmware version and the 1.1 update to fix bugs with the game
