Hi, kacir,

when I did tests with this game (and there are a lot of things the reader doesn't like at all, like German letters ä,ö,ü and others) the worst that ever happened is that the reader froze and I had to reset it (small hole at backside of it) with a small screwdriver - just press the button "in the hole" for 3-5 seconds, then move the "POWER" slider at its side.
The screen says s.th. like "Starting up" for 1-3 minutes. Next the sandclock turns for another 1-3 minutes (didn't take time).
Actually I had to do this about once every two days when I started developping. But in the last two weeks I did not have to reset even once...

I think that really nothing CAN happen since applications that don't do a "Flash" of firmware do not change any internal files or values or whatever.
