Very happy owner here, i manage to install the board and connected to my tv monitor with the hdmi, and there it was, a nice red vampire 2.5 logo! Meanwhile i looked for apolloOS or coffin version to run on this 2.5, but i couldnt find anywhere, i'm downloading the latest coffinOS, i know i have to upgrade to the latest core 2.10 in order to run it, and that s another problem, i dont have the usb blaster to flash so i need to run the exe file on a cli window right guys? if only there where a tutorial to help:-)
Another thing is the registration process, how can i do it? Thanks for your attention

Hi Duarte,

Welcome to the party!

The registration process is no longer required. Your serial will be unlocked in an upcoming core. It takes a little while, but consider the small team handling all of this!

You can find updated cores here:
EXTERNAL LINK 
Note that you won't have to wait for a full version release. Point releases come out every few weeks-or-so.

You will also find EXE upgrade instructions on the wiki:

It's best to use a usb blaster, especially if the flash goes badly. (It's the only way to recover your vampire.) The EXEs are to be executed right on your Amiga. Generally, the fastest cores need to be flashed though (x12 JIC files).

The USB Blaster instructions are here:

Good luck!

Hi Duane,

I will carefully check the steps before flashing!

Thanks for your help!

Sound will be available through hdmi with core gold 3
once your card will be registered, what is now automatic.
Check site for core downloads,when new build of core 2.10 will be out, or 2.11, you will have colors through hdmi.
Sound still going old way.
with gold 3, everything will be through hdmi
