New User - Help Needed With Vampire V500 V2+

Hi, my name's Pedro Torres and i'm from Portugal. I'm a new Vampire V500 V2+ user. I need some help regarding the card itself.

So, i bought the card from a friend of mine, that has registered it to his email - i want to change that to mine, is it possible?

The card came to me with Core 2.9 flashed and was working fine. I've installed Coffin R54 ( Core 2.11 ) to my CF 32GB card and start to get problems.

In my Commodore 1084S, i get a BLUE/RED screen and the it dissapears. In my TV i get the Vampire Logo. It boots to Coffin, sometimes i can choose the language then hangs. With a reboot, i can get to Choose a Network then hangs. I can't use Coffin R54 ( Gold 2.11 ). I reflashed the Card to Core 2.10 ( Same problems ).Seems to work fine with Gold 2.9 x10 R53 Coffin

I'm using an Amiga 2000 Rev 6.2 with recapped motherboard plus a Recapped PSU. For now my testing was done without any other cards. I'm not using a CPU Reloccator.

Is it possible the card needs fixes to itself?

Is there a Gold 2.11 fix for this, so i can try it out?

If anyone can help out, i would be much appreciated.

Best regards,
Pedro Torres

Flashed again to Gold 2.9 and the card works fine. But can't update to Gold 2.11, the machine still hangs.

Are you using the latest build from this page: EXTERNAL LINK ?

Many people had these hangs on the early builds of 2.11, it was fixed in version 5851.

Hi Shane, the card was flashed with that very same core and hangs.
It also hangs with 2.10 but works fine with 2.9

Yes, i've tested in an Amiga 500 Rev 6 with a more powerful PSU.

It's the same, boots than hangs
