You do need to download and install a Direct X update,Įven on Windows Vista/7, before the newer versions of SSF will run. SSF happily works on 64 bit versions of Windows too. Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7. (for example if your drive will not read CDs but you have a friend who can do this for you) but you MUST own the original CD or else you are breaking the law. Note that it IS possible to make copies of Saturn CDs and burn them onto DVDs Some older Blu-ray drives do not support CDs however so bear that in mind. Any modern CD,DVD,HD-DVD or even Blu-ray drive should work. Also Intel graphics built in to many laptops and motherboards are too slow to run SSF properly,Īlthough the Intel Mobile GMA 4500MHD in my Acer Aspire 5735 runs SSF perfectly.ĬD-ROM drive - 8x speed ATAPI compliant minimum. S3/VIA graphics are unlikely to work with SSF, they are too slow. In theory an ATI/AMD Radeon 9800 should also be fine but I am unable to test this. The SSF author recommended at least a GeForce 6600GT and I too have verified this works perfectly even the AGP version. Graphics card - A fast Direct X 9 compliant graphics card. Realtek High Definition audio (built into many motherboards) is known to work well. Sound card - Most modern sound chips should work fine. SSF cannot run at all on a Pentium 3, Duron, Athlon XP or 32bit Semprons (Socket A) due to requiring SSE2 instructions not available in these and older CPUs.
CPU - At least a Pentium 4 3.2Ghz or AMD64, but it runs best on a dual-core or better CPU.
