Hi!

Here is a full list of Games on HOL that support RTG:

Some will need or benefit from 060 CPU or PPC, you didn't say what CPU you have.

You might need to install RTG Master:

And I also suggest 'NewMode' which is a great screen promotion tool:

Have fun, the PicassoII is a nice card and for those games that don't support RTG or WHDLoad games you can always pass through your native output or via Scan Doubler as the PicassoII supports auto switching like in my Video here:

All the best,

RTG games, most of them should be playable with P2.

No probs, you're welcome.

No motherboard Fast Ram and crashing would point to a problem, probably caused by previous battery leakage.

Is the battery still in this A4000? If so get it out ASAP and if its leaked you need to neutralise the leakage and clean after.

There could be damage to the tracks around the battery and near by simm sockets, explaining the lack of Motherboard Ram.

Setting up Workbench in WinUAE isn't too hard, there are a number of guides and Wiki pages if you do a search.  It just takes some time to learn the steps and get the hang of preparing the Hard Drive or CF card.

All the best,

Steve.
