Hi guys, I am very happy to got 1 V600 with an AMIGA 600. Actual I was using Gold 2.5 version with Apollo r43. Everything works fine. Yesterday I flashed Gold 2.7 and the flash procedure runs well and without any issue. BUT, after reboot the system starts and the new logo is shown, but only in black and white. Also when the OS boot up and shown the desk everything is without color. After that I has flashed back to Gold 2.5 version and everything is ok. Is there anyone which will have the same issue ? Any Ideas why I got only black and white screen ? First thinking was the issue is relatet by an driver problem by OS, but the Vampire logo after switch on the device is also black and white. Or is black and white the real color of the logo ?

Thanks in advance !!

The link to the AMIGA EXE is on the registration page.
There is also a link to a video showing how to use it.

You need to flash core 2.7.1. Its released, just not in public downloads.
JIC (Blaster version) for V600

If you are in Europe, good and safe source is Amedia.

You can get it cheaper on ebay, but I prefer shops.

Since 2.7 core it might become a requirement :-)

    As you wish. You mean as executable reflash? Hopefully, but since ANY core update can possibly "brick the Vampire" (similarly to BIOS and other firmware flashing) USB blaster is handy thing to have. If the bad thing happens simple USB blaster reflash with other core does the magic and brings Vamp back to undead living.
 
  For now, experimental (e.g. faster X12 core) and failsafe cores are coming as JIC (Blaster files)

You can find all those "odd" core releases here CLICK HERE
