System Requirements
The following system is required to run the emulator:
- Any fast computer with the Java Development Kit v1.0x or above installed (or equivalent Java run-time engine).
- At least 8 Megabytes of RAM (more or less may be possible on some systems).
- A mouse, keyboard and colour display.
Recommended is:
- A Java run-time environment with JIT compilation (such as Symantec's JIT 2.0). Or:
- A system based around Sun's picoJAVA chips.
An example system which runs the emulator at nearly full-speed is:
- Intel P133
- 32 Mb RAM
- Running Symantec's JIT 2.0
- Windows 95
In general, better performance is most easily obtained by getting a better Java interpreter than the standard one from sun. Good systems for running Java applications include Windows NT based systems, Apple Macintoshes, Linux Systems and Sun Ultras running Solaris 2.6.
