V1200 Locks Up With Latest 2.17 Core

I recenly flashed my V1200 to 2.17 and am experencing frequent lockups with a program I use often.  The MagiC64 Emulator.  It never locked up with previous cores.  When it locks up the comptuter has to be shut off, then back on.  A reset does not work.

I'm noticing the same thing, also seeing the microSD port be unpredictable (currently not working - error code :80)

Before I upgraded, (2.12) I was an "x11" core, which I assume is a multiplier) and now all the 2.17 code is a "x12" core.

Wonder if it would be possible to get a couple more 2.17 cores up - maybe x10 and x11 - let us test?

While you won't be happy with the speed drop, you might try "Turtle Mode" which allows you to scale your vampire back to either A1200 or A500 speeds.

See if that helps?
