Amiga A1200 query on games Software failure
« on: March 10, 2024, 03:27:54 PM »
Hi all,

I have an Amiga A1200 but new to this computer.  I previously had an A500+ a long time ago.  I have performed a number of updates and bought my own copy of Workbench 3.1.  I also have a PiStorm fitted to the machine which increases the speed somewhat.  Also, just bought myself a Gotek and I although new to this I have worked out how to copy software from the Gotek back to disks etc. and I suppose the next step is adding a switch so I can fool the Amiga into thinking the Gotek is drive DF0 etc. 

My problem is I am struggling to play any games on the Amiga either via floppy or directly via the Gotek.  I keep getting software failures.  I havent yet recapped the board (only just received a recap kit), but I have checked over the caps to ensure no leakage etc.  I am wondering if I need to upgrade the actual ROMs on the board itself to 3.1 minimum?  I initially assumed not as thought the PiStorm32 lite took over from these but do I have this correct?


Regards
Steven
