A600 & A1200 Pure Gaming?
« on: October 12, 2007, 04:00:27 PM »
Hi!,
    I'm thinking of setting up an A600 (HD) or A1200 (HD) as pure gaming machines with WHDload
These will run on a TV (Via Scart)and I would like a 'pretty' Workbench, but not too memory hungry.

The machine will be for my Kids to show them that old games can be just as much fun (or more so) than the latest super consoles! (no doubt I'll have the odd blast on Super Stardust though)

Any advice on a 'clean' set-up and recommended system software/hardware?

I have messed around with the A600 (with 1 MB internal upgrade and 4 MB PCMCIA card.....it works with WHDload but is a little slow to launch games...probably the 16 bit PCMCIA card?)

The A1200 was my main option as I already have my own ('030' 50 Mhz, 32MB Ram, 60GB HD and OS3.9)

I will probably use another A1200 (lower spec), but I do like the compact size of the A600!
