    A few cards can draw too much current and blow the internal fuse, however this is very unlikely and most are very safe - if its working - its fine!

    thanks for that, i suppose i just needed reassurance from someone, one more question; after reading viewing different posts i thought i would need to clone firmware but i installed v1.18 and it's working fine, obviously i should stick to it?

    you need the right firmware for the card, if you have an original R4 Revolution, then 1.18 is the right firmware, if you have one of the other 10 - then you need the firmware for the card.

    If its working then leave it, however you may find a lot of the new games do not load - save data error - if they do then look up the arm7 patch
