Amiga 2000 3000 or 4000
« on: August 27, 2010, 09:20:51 PM »
Hi all,

Do games from the amiga 500, the amiga 1200 all work on an amiga 2000-4000?

Back in the early days I've never owned one of these higher models. Just went up to the amiga 1200 and stopped there. So now I'd like to know what is the wiser decision. Buy a 1200 or buy a 4000 with bigger hard drive, ram, speed and such.

Cheers :)

Hi Guys,

Thanks for all the information you've given me!

Only two games that don't seem to work on the A4000. That ain't too big of a deal.

But as Dougal stated :
The A1200 and A4000 are AGA as VingtTrois said and Kickstart 3.X, so  they are even less compatible than the older Amiga's. The A4000 for some  reason is even less compatible for games than the A1200. Again Relokick  helps in both these machines.

If you want a "big box" Amiga like the A4000, you can always install  WHDLoad which installs almost any Amiga games to your HD and patches  them for compatibility with newer faster Amiga's.    

That contradicts what amigakid stated.
Me confused now.

I did gather that using WDload solves most of these issues.
