Considering that I am planning to use my A1200 / 040 just for games now, and I think some aren't working because of the accelerator.
Should I just unplug the accelerator card and use it as a stock A1200? It's a Blizzard 1240. There is a jumper on the accelerator card, but I have no idea what it does. I wondered whether it might disable the card as a compatibility measure. Is there any other way of disabling the accelerator in a convenient fashion?
Most of the games date back to my A500, but then, Settlers 1 is apparently 1993, so I would have thought that would be more aware of other processors.
Although you can run some old games on a stock 1200 you might want to instead consider WHDLOAD which are HD installed and patched to work with an expanded 1200. Most people find an unexpanded 1200 very limited and get sick of feeding it floppy disks.
Even though WHDLOAD makes games more compatible you'll prob still have probs with the 040, better to either sell it and buy and 030 or upgrade it to an 060.
You should also consider getting an IndivsionAGA if you want to keep your eyesight
