A1200 for gaming

[adolescent]

1.  Natively not good.  But, this improves using a  egrader, or JST/WHDLoad HD installed games.  AGA games should run fine with the standard processor.

2.  Not that I know of.

3.  Not good with the 060.  Probably better with the 030 due to CPU architecture.  Again, check out WHDLoad as the installs are fixed for different processors.

4.  Don't know.  The only card I've seen around still is the Delfina.

5.  No.  I have mine on a 17" Viewsonic and despite the lack of scan lines, it still looks great.

6.  Yes.

7.  Yes, see above.

BTW, my gaming rig is as follows.  It works great, the only problem I have is games that require OCS/1.2/1.3 and don't have installers (yet...).  A few games I have used JST or TUDE as a degrader.

A1200
Blizzard 1260/060-50MHz
2M Chip/128M Fast
20GB 2.5" ATA-6 HD
10Mb PCMCIA NIC
ScanMagic Internal SD/FF
CD32 Pads

Is there no way an A1200 without a hard disk can become jsut as compatible with old software?
Is there nothing that will download onto a floppy disk which I can use to boot old games properly apart from Relokick 1.3 which doesnt work on some games  :-?

Not really.  Even with a degrader the 020 and AGA chipset cause trouble with games that hit the hardware directly.  If you can find AGA fixed floppy versions or AGA fix patches then it helps a bit.
