Correct Firmware to use Victron Connect with older Easyplus 1600

Would like to use Victron Connect with an older Easyplus 1600 firmware 1906132 instead of VE.Configure as my Mac pc emulation is failing. Victron Connect says "Multiple-Plus compact firmware version not supported use VE.Flash to upgrade to *200 or higher"

I see a firmware 1906209. (in addition to the 1906159 pre assistant version).

Question:

-Is this the right firmware to use Victron Connect successfully?

All running great except for the PC VEConfigure vs Mac/IOS capability of Victron Connect, and so I don't want to do this unless it solves that problem.

You need FW 209, but you will not be able to change settings, you only will see some live data.

The full functionality of VictronConnect is only available with FW 415 or higher.

If you want to change settings you will need to use VE.config.

Thank you for the detailed answer. Not what I hoped to hear as I have the older processor. Just have to keep emulation going.
