I've successfully flashed my drive with 17.7, has anyone had any luck with 18.2; or more specifically, is it ok to upgrade again after flashing the drive?

Question... what did you flash your drive with?

1.17.7 and 1.18.2 are versions of MakeMKV, which should NOT be flashed onto a drive.

The firmware that's on an optical drive isn't tied to a specific version of MakeMKV, so once a drive it flashed it should work with just about any version of MakeMKV.

So where are we supposed to find the older versions, so we can flash our drives?

The only links I can find for the packages are the current version, 1.18.2.
