The aim of this document is to help you get your first emulations up and running. Emulation is a tricky business that involves a variety of programmes (thankfully all free!) and an up-to-date system. Please read this document carefully and if you still require help please search the
knowledgebase for a solution.
Requirements
Your PC should be at least a Pentium IV 1.8Ghz with 512Mb of RAM and a fairly decent graphics card. Ideally you should be running Windows XP or Vista, some emulations will run with Windows 98/Me but there have been problems reported. Your screen resolution mustbe at least 1024 x 768 to play some of the emulations. Ideally you should use a screen resolution of 1280 x 1024 to play the vast majority.
Software
Ensure you have the following installed on your system before you start:
WINZIP - Can be downloaded
here
DirectX Latest Version - Can be downloaded
here
Both of these must be installed before you begin.
