How to tell if my DS R4 is a clone

I would like to upgrade my r4 firmware to support new games but I cannot find any firware that will get past the loading screen. I think I have a clone but am not sure.

what exactly does it say on the front of your card?
what size sd card are you using?
can u post a pic of your card?

What does it say when. Loading up does it say what firmware is running anywhere on screen such as 1.18.
What exactly does it say on card/box
Or just back up card and try woods firmware 1.21 if it works you have an original r4
