best upgrade for ntsc amiga 1200?
« on: April 19, 2014, 03:45:17 PM »
I opened the trapdoor under my A1200 - no card has been installed.
 Any recommendations for what card I should get?
 I mostly will be playing games . Is there a card that provides ram and acceleration both?
 
 Thanks a ton, Peter

Thanks guys-I followed your advice , and got the ACA 1232/25 128MB Accelerator. I paid $2. extra for the ACA tune utility , which I hope I can use. Probably take a week to ship to USA.

 I built my CF card assuming that I'd use kickstart 3.1 ,
 but the ebay roms don't work.  
 I couldn't find 3.1 kickstart rom for A1200 on amigakit, which was surprising.
 so I will have to rebuild the cf card  in winuae to use 3.0 kickstart to match my hardware .

is it really worth while to upgrade the A1200 to kickstart 3.1 (from kickstart 3.0) ?
I plan on playing games with whdload.

 I followed this excellent video by Dave Webster (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3mSawy6How) and got katakis to run. Now I am going to configure my CF with more  legal  lha/adf  -  this link  looks good : : http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=6400

 

Thanks, Peter
