1.2 I'm pretty sure.

You still don't see anything on screen, you have to switch the discs blind, but it works fine after that.

Mods, if posting this link is a no-no, please delete it... I'm not really sure on the legal status of it, but since he's just wanting to run comercial games, and it's not a commercial bootdisc...

shakey, about the boot disc. I guess this link is to make your own? so once I downlaod the file, is there a specific type of disc I need to burn it too? or am I barking up the wrong tree?

It's a .cdi disc image file, which you burn with Alcohol 120% or Discjuggler.

you download the file and it's a .cdi type so you use the software here to burn it to a CD-R-

The disc itself doesn't work in VGA, but the games you boot after should do. Not that I've tried it myself mind. I was just told you could switch them blind and it would work.
