The system requirements of TechNES are very much the same as those of Nessie.
The minimum requirements are as follows:
- At least a 750 MHz microprocessor
- At least 128 MB of RAM
- Any version of Windows (from Windows 98 and above) or other compatible
APIs/operating systems (such as WINE or ReactOS)
- DirectX 7.0 or above
For best performance, avoid using 24-bit colour depth on your computer.
Optionally, you can use computer game controllers with this emulator. Just make sure that
the controller's software drivers are properly installed and that the controller works
with your system.
To install TechNES onto the computer, simply download either the "standard package" or
the "programmer's package" (both of which are standard Windows zip files) and extract the
contents of the downloaded package into any folder on the computer (any
archiving program may be used, but Windows XP and above has the ability to
extract zip files without extra software). To uninstall TechNES,
simply delete the folder where TechNES is stored (or simply delete TechNES.exe itself).
