Hi from the biggest Newbie ever

[Morax]

Lemmings is a rather old game, from the A500 time. The A500 came with 0.5 megabytes of memory but most people expanded it to a full 1MB. Since your A1200 has 2MB of memory Lemmings just thinks it's a memory expansion and lets you know that it's making use of that whopping extra 0.5MB!

But on the other hand, you can see that Lemmings was well programmed, since a lot of ancient games require the second 512KB to be slow mem, because of bad/short-minded programming

EDIT: I'm was too slow  :crazy:

Is this it? If so its pretty expensive! But maybe something for the future.

I don't know what you want to do with your Amiga, but for games, the best accelerator would be a 1230 50MHz (There are various brands of them), since then you can play 3D-games at average speeds as well, for an average price. And the 68040-based boards give problems within the original desktop case and the standard PSU. Ofcourse 68060's are also good, but just as you said, a bit expensive...

Can I tell which Kickroms I have just by opening it up?

You don't even HAVE to open it up, just boot Workbench or the Install-disk, and it will report both the Workbench and Kickstart revision. In the latter it will be 40.68 for KS3.1 or 39.106 for KS 3.0

You can tell what Kickstart ROMs you have by looking at the disk animation when you switch on the Amiga.  It should say something like Kickstart 3.0

Hehe well I didn't even know that, It's been a long time since I've seen that screen  :lol:

As for Lemmings, I played it a lot on the PC but want to play it again on the Amiga.

better isnt it !

I've played loads of versions, the oddest was probably the ZX Spectrum version, and the worst was the Mac version...

-edit-
nearly forgot - welcome !

The C64 version was pretty weird also, with the deformed heads  :-D

Oh yeah, and a welcome to the topicposter!

Kiniki, welcome to the forum :-)  You will find all the advice you need here  :idea:
I must point out though, an A1200 with an accelerator and hard drive will not work reliably for long if it has the original power supply. If you look at the brick you have, can you see the power rating in Watts on it ? You may be able to use an A500 psu as it is slightly higher rated.
Enjoy your Amiga   :-D

Or perform minor surgery on a PC-AT Power Supply, connect the Amiga-lead of it's PSU to it, and you'll have more than enough power

Works like a charm indeed :-D
