Excuse my ignorance, but what exactly happens if u dont do the timing fix? Will it crash? And do all 1200s need it? What can I do to check if an a1200 needs it ? There was some game but I forgot...
I had issues with my 2b and 1232, yes some (probably most) games would cause lock-ups/crashes on my unmodified motherboard.
mostly fixed by removing a couple of caps from the back of the mobo, 99.9% of titles work for me.. but gloom and wing commander are both unplayable with the ACA, wing commander just craps out as soon as it starts scaling sprites and gloom has issues with missing level geometry.
Apparently this situation is rare according to the manufacturer. But, I wouldn't buy one, or recommend one
unless you're prepared to do some work on your mobo (which is not difficult but must be approached carefully) or pay someone to do it... Not sure if there's some boards which can't be fixed for some reason, but presumably most can be fixed.
But when it works, its great now i've made the adjustments (which are actually incorrect and incomplete, with some further mods I could probably fix WC) and aside from those 2 issues its very stable playing all games and lots of different WB apps.
