Updating V4SA+ Core When Running CoffinOS R61

Hey guys,

I have a V4SA+ (which I love) running the latest CoffinOS R61. I have already updated the Coffin ROM via the menu, however I want to update the V4SA+ core (I am presently running at 85mhz, so obviously an older core) and I see there is a menu option in the CoffinOS workbench to do this via the latest jic....

However from what I have read, this also overwrites the CoffinOS Rom with an ApolloOS ROM which would stop the system from booting from the CoffinOS image on my CF Card....

Can some kind soul please tell me how to update the V4SA+ core while keeping my CoffinOS install functional?

Thanks.

Slight Update - I downloaded and flashed the STANDALONE_8736 core from the CoffinOS page, and that went fine, however I am not sure if that is the latest core for the V4SA+, if someone could advise is this IS the latest update and if I should do anything else (update any other drivers, SAGA, net.device etc) as I am still a little confused.

Thanks.

This page here has the official cores.
Please only ever download any cores from our official websites.
Never download a core form a website other than ours.
The current V4 cores have a number of 91xx .
