Hello V4 Standalone users,
 
Please note, that we have a 100MHz = 190Mips testcore in the Download Section for you.
 
This testcore might not work on all V4 Standalone today - we are working on improving this.
 
But maybe you want give it a try!
I did test it with the new GigaByte Fastmemory Standalones and it ran perfectly on all cards here.
 
 
Please enjoy the power of it - and join our Discord channel and give us feedback there!

Never installed a new core before. Is there a documentation on the Forum or Webpage somewhere how to do it ? Thanks!

It can work on both models.

ok, just gave it a try. Flashed SA_10063_x14 with USB Blaster and - it did not work on my V4SA (512MB). On restart it gives me a blue'ish screen, then a midgray screen, then a light gray screen (twice) and then the apollo screen as if no IDE device is connected (but i had a CF card connected).

Hi,

Here it works on my very old V4SA. I had the blue screen too. You have to reset on keyboard twice. Then you will see color stipes and a grey screen. The boot is long nearly a minute but it works at x14.
Good job Gunnar !
I notice when I quit games ex:quake I have a black screen with a white bar at the botom. I have to reboot.

It also works on my v4+sa 512 MB. I used apolloflash.
Didn't notice any strange things  on my system. Booted with no startup-sequence and ran sysinfo. Glad to report that sysinfo  detects the new speed.
