Are you required to register these cards yourself or are the new ones done already?

thanks for this explanation, DemolitionFPU will work, but you will only get a B/W picture through HDMI if your S/N was not registered into the firmware, starting from GOLD 2.7.
Wow..that's crazy..didn't knew someone helps majsta without his permissionThere are some fake/unoriginal Vampire boards out there, which they do not want to support in future cores (they will run with GOLD 2.5).
One thing to look for is that the original V500 boards are all made with black PCBs, so if you have a green V500, it is likely not original (or one of the early prototypes which were never resold so should not be in the wild).
Wait, does this mean if I didn't register my board before 2.7 was built, I'm stuck with B&W until I register and wait for the next firmware to come out?FPU will work, but you will only get a B/W picture through HDMI if your S/N was not registered into the firmware, starting from GOLD 2.7.

Yes, but they have released 2.7.1 and 2.7.2 already to add those that registered late, and supposedly 2.8 is on the way later this week, so no reason to wait with registering your card.Wait, does this mean if I didn't register my board before 2.7 was built, I'm stuck with B&W until I register and wait for the next firmware to come out?
Unless Amigakit registered mine it's unregistered and I don't have any issues with 2.7

Quite a few cards will already be registered.
"GOLD2.7 – Registration process
The registration process while being available for months has not collected all the required serial numbers we hoped. We took the decision for GOLD2.7 to merge all our available registered serial numbers with serials provided by majsta’s so people who had not enough time to register their board will not have to suffer our security system.
Core will have a whitelist included. This whitelist will be updated on a regular basis depending on registration list growth."
So if you bought your card from a legitimate source & the team already know the serial number you should be OK for the time being at least.
