| Thanks, overall it was worth upgrading to 10000, because earlier cores 9743_9-5 and 9465 had many more issues.
About overall stability can't say yet too much, at least earlier cores have crashed (black screen) intermittently. So hopefully this is now more stable.First impressions of Standalone V4 10000 -core / Sagadriver 3.1b6 / Coffin r63:
Good:
- microsd-slot works (did not work with core 9743_9-5)
- apollo-keyboard works, it did intermittently lose connection when playing whdload-games (core 9465), and had to power off V4 to use again keyboard. Bad:
- interlaced pal and ntsc modes no more work, picture jumps rapidly. Tested WHDLoad-demo using interlaced modes (Big Time Sensuality) and a few animations. These modes worked with earlier cores 9743_9-5 and 9465, using the same Sagadriver.

| Hi,
On my A1200 + Icedrake => core 9634 to 10000 :- Some RTG Games don't work (Fondation Gold for example)
- SD card with extention cable not work (only ok if microSD in Icedrake slot.
- Full speed is now ok if I put TU=0 and casch activate with whdload (Alien breed 3D ; Alien Breed 3D 2 ; Xtrem Racing for example). With 9634 core, Tu=0 with cash crashed, now ok with 10000 core.

But that is alpha. I tried it. It caused problem. Screen flickering, DIGITAL-VIDEO going down and coming back for 3 seconds then going down, I had to somehow reflash the old core waiting for the screen to come back to see what I am typing. Not fun. I will wait until it is completed and it is green before I try it out.Besides it is not even 1000 yet, still 993. I will wait for how long it takes. Not in a hurry really.

| The Stupid Question of Today (night): Copied from Q&A on the other apollo-site:
==
Which core is installed on my V4+?
When you power-on your V4+, simultaneously please press both mouse buttons and keep them pressed until the Early Boot Menu shows up on the screen. You will find the core version in the second row.... or better to say....since Release 2 the core version is listed in the menu. If there is no version number, then you run on Release Core 1.
== In the early startup menu, my V4SA says "Release 9.5, 2024-03-11", that's not the core revision... Then there is the "ApolloControl" command, with the options "CO" and "CR" for getting the "core revision string" and "core revision number". The command outputs nothing. What am I doing wrong, and what do I need to do to do it correctly ? The easiest method to get the core revision seems to be to use ApolloFlash with hopefully the same .jic file that is supposed to be there already.. or not (tried that, it flashed rev 10000 again) ..

| Hallo,
für die Firebierd bzw Salamander, die ich habe, ist nirgends eine version 10000 zu finden, warum? Auch ich habe reichlich für meine Salamander bezahlt... Soll nicht böse gemeint sein aber ich versteh es nicht, für Standalone und recht fix für Icedrake, warum guckt der Rest in die Röhre...
MfG David
