 ## December 2023
 
+### HW
+
+* C14 has been increased from 10µF to 22µF as some System11 machines had [startup issues](https://github.com/AmokSolderer/APC/blob/master/DOC/Problems.md)
+
 ### New SW Version V1.00
 
+* General improvements for the Pinbot and Black Knight code added. Main feature is the new 3 ball multiball mode for [Pinbot](https://github.com/AmokSolderer/APC/blob/master/DOC/Pinbot.md)
 * Exception rules for System 3 Disco Fever have been added. [Sound files for Disco Fever are also available](https://github.com/AmokSolderer/APC/blob/master/DOC/PinMame.md)
 * Exception rules for System 6 Alien Poker have been added. [Sound files for Alien Poker are also available](https://github.com/AmokSolderer/APC/blob/master/DOC/PinMame.md)
 * Bugfix -> if a sound/music file was invoked immediately after another, the first one was dropped regardless of the priority.
 * Bugfix -> Controlling the original audio boards of System 3 - 6 games has been fixed.
-* Support for single ball games added to BaseCode
+* Support for single ball games added to BaseCode.
 * Solenoid latches are updated every ms instead of on request which will revoke any accidental state change of solenoids. This can happen in heavily distorted environments when the distortion spikes are strong enough to trigger the latches. Distortion levels like these usually mean that something is wrong in your machine, e.g. a broken free-wheeling diode can cause this.
 * System watchdog implemented. If the timer interrupt controlling the HW should not occur for 2s the system will restart.
 * System 3 game adjustments implemented. You can now use the settings system of the APC to do the adjustments of System 3 games.

 # If things don't work
 
+## APC doesn't boot
+
+On some System 9 and 11 machines the APC doesn't boot sometimes. Usually it is enough to powercycle your machine to make it work.  
+If it happens frequently then you could swap C14 from a 10µF to a 22µF capacitor.
+
 ## Sound stuttering
 
 If your sound has unregular lags and stutters sometimes then it's most probably an issue with your SD card.
