There will be the odd game that still refuses to work using the 2 mouse button routine as described earlier. This problem can be (hopefully) alleviated by getting hold of a 'downgrader' like Relokick which loads a 1.3 ROM to fool the game into thinking the A1200 is an A500
Another one to try is
TUDE, which does a similar thing with the 1.3 ROM. It also allows certain things to be patched, thereby increasing the chances of an old piece of software being able to run.
I used to use it quite a bit on my A1200, and still use it now to get some pieces of software to run on my A3000/060 (most notably the official BBC Micro emulator - "The Emulator", which makes extensive use of an instruction that became privileged from the 68010 onwards).
