System requirements

BASin

System requirements

BASin is designed to perform well regardless of PC hardware specification. The emulation has been tested using a 50 MHz 486 DX/2, and (with sound disabled) runs very well on that specification. The editor is more resource-hungry, but the BASin tab allows certain features to be disabled if necessary.

Sound

DirectX 5 or higher must be installed in order for sounds to play. DirectX is not required for the display, but performance in this case will vary depending on your display driver software and computer usage by other programs.

Help file

HTML Help requires Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 or higher.

Spectrum ROM image

BASin requires unmodified Spectrum 48K and +2 ROM images, which are included in the installation package. Amstrad has graciously given permission for Spectrum ROM images to be freely distributed and included with emulators.
