System requirements Previous  Top  Next


The System you need for good performance often depends on the game you want to play. While for example a game with many complex graphics such as Final Fantasy 9 will require a rather fast PC, you'll be able to play Tekken 1 on a low-end PC already.

During our tests, we noticed a HEAVY difference between, for example, the AMD K6/2 - 500 Mhz processors and the PII 500 Mhz processors. It seems that the slow FPU of the AMD K6-x processors can cause up to 50% less speed than with a comparable Intel processor. The Athlon and Duron processors, however, don't experience this problem any more though.

onestep Minimum system requirements :

P200MMX or compatible  
64 MB of RAM  
Fast graphic card (like the voodoo 2)  
16x CD-Rom  
Windows 9x  
DirectX 7a  

onestep Recommended system configuration :
Pentium II 500 or faster  
256 MB of RAM  
A fast DirectX or Opengl compatible graphic card, e.g. the NVidia GeForce 2  
Fast CD-ROM with good access times  
Windows 2000 or XP  
DirectX 8  

As we said, results may vary. If you're above the recommended system configuration and still have problems, it might either be a bug in the emulator or a mis-configuration. For help with these issues, make sure to check the configuration part in this help file !
