But can I play AGA games on it? Will I need an Amiga 1200 or 4000 Rom?  Sorry for the questions.

Yes you will be able to play AGA games. The standalone comes with it's own Kickstart ROM.

Thanks for the reply.  Also, If I flash (Is it possible?) The Kick.Rom to the V4, will I get more Chip ram? (Sorry, Newbie with V4 SA)  :)

Need more Chip RAM?
The 12 megs on V4SA why not enough? That's a lot. Very, very lot.
For comparison, the standard A1200 has "only" 2 megs of Chip memory...
