System Requirements

OpenMPT is rather modest when it comes to system requirements. All you need is some kind of computer that can run Windows and has a sound card. The software runs on old Pentium machines as well as on modern 64-Bit systems (although there is no dedicated 64-Bit version).

Minimum specs

  • Windows 98 SE or newer (KernelEx is required on Windows 98 SE / Me)
  • Pentium 1 or a better CPU
  • Display resolution: 800x600
  • Some kind of sound card
  • 3 MB of free disk space

Recommended specs

To fully enjoy OpenMPT, you will probably want a machine like this one:

  • Windows XP or newer
  • Some x86-compatible CPU with 1+ GHz
  • A large display :-)
  • A soundcard with native ASIO support
  • A big hard disk for many module and samples

Bear in mind that VST plugins often come with their own system requirements and that you will probably need a much more powerful rig to run some of them.

Wine

If you are running Linux or a similar Operating System, you can run OpenMPT through Wine. The software runs fairly well with the exception of a few little glitches.
