Editing Amiga 500 (section)

=== Compatibility problems ===
{{Unreferenced section|date=March 2021}}
Due to the new Kickstart v2.04, quite a few popular games (such as ''[[Treasure Island Dizzy]]'', ''[[Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge]]'', and ''[[SWIV]]'') failed to work on the Amiga 500+, and some people took them back to dealers demanding an original [[Kickstart_(Amiga)|Kickstart]] 1.3 Amiga 500. This problem was largely solved by third parties who produced Kickstart [[Read-only memory|ROM]] switching boards, that could allow the Amiga 500+ to be downgraded to Kickstart 1.2 or 1.3. It also encouraged game developers to use better programming habits, which was important since Commodore already had plans for the introduction of the next-generation [[Amiga 1200]] computer. A program, Relokick, was also released (and included with an issue of [[CU Amiga]]) which loaded a [[Kickstart (Amiga)|Kickstart]] 1.3 [[ROM]] image into memory and booted the machine into Kickstart 1.3, allowing most incompatible software to run (the software did take up 512&nbsp;KB of system memory, meaning that some 1&nbsp;MB only games would now  fail for lack of available memory). In some cases, updated compatible versions of games were later released, such as budget versions of [[Lotus (video game series)|Lotus 1]] and [[SWIV]], and an update to ''[[Bubble Bobble]]''. [[Double Dragon 2]] by Binary Design received an update for [[Amiga Enhanced Chip Set|ECS]] machines with the "Amiga phase-alternated linescan version 4.01/ECS". This solved compatibility issues with the graphics which appeared garbled on ECS machines, and it also slashed the in-game loading times from around 20 seconds to just over 6.
