Compatibility 500 1.3 V.s 500+ 3.1

[VresiBerba]

How is game compatibility between an ordinary 500 with KS 1.3 and a 500+ with KS 3.1?

Just bought a 1200 with KS 3.0 and 50% of the games I tested either guru'd, had graphical glitches or outright just hung the computer, and that's the only experience I have with Kickstart's above 1.3 while loading games from floppy.

3.1 and 2.0 will cause many games to crash. Often the crash is already caused by the cracktro, which may be even worse coding than the game itself.

Not good with really old games and not bad with newer games.

Hold both mouse buttons at startup to go to the boot menu and select ECS and no caches for better 68000+ECS compatibility. The problem is not just the newer AmigaOS but the 68020, AGA and poorly written games.
