Currently the emu page says you'll need at least a P4 1.5GHz or a 1.2GHz Athlon.
Will this change in future versions? I've only got a 1GHz Athlon myself and I would really like MT-32 emulation.
Thanks in advance.

As usual system requirements on cpu speeds are always a guess. It just depends on which game you try to run and which features it uses from the emulation.

Just try it but don't complain if it appears to be slow 😀

Oh well
To get a good picture many more things matter than only the cpu speed.

To get a good idea you need almost everything and profile the bineary to find the bottlenecks.

Good news. I've optimized a lot of my code (remember, we're trying to emulate a chip that was made in 1987!) so the latest version is a good 20% faster (and does about 100% more stuff!).
