More of a curiosity question for Amiga 1200 owners here.

My Amiga 1200 with a CF card & IDE DVD-ROM drive, just has a single 8MB Fast RAM expansion, no FPU or other accelerators, no scan doubler or anything else.

I currently have installed to the CF - ClassicWB Full, it seemed the easiest way to get it up and running quickly at the time, with a bunch of useful tools. Also using Tiny Launcher as a GUI for launching WHDLoad games. Plus I did install extra utilities to enable the DVD-ROM drive & provide some CDTV/CD32 emulation, such as IDEFix '97 & Surf Squirrel.

It's working fine for my needs, which is mostly gaming right now.

I'm curious what other people here are using. Anything potentially better that I could be using, without resorting to any hardware upgrades?

If you had such a spec, what OS & useful programs/utilities would you run on it and any notes about RAM usage & compatibility with games that comes with it etc?

Not saying there aren't Amiga users here. But you would get more info on EAB forum or any other Amiga dedicated one.

On my Amiga 1200 I've installed ClassicWB back in 2009 and it's still going "strong" as I only power Amiga up once or twice a year. I did a few basic upgrades in that time - Blizzard 1230/IV with FPU and 128MB memory, CF card and that's it 😉 I've only loaded WHDgames and Demos on it.
