# Hardware
|
||
|
|
Everything runs on original hardware MK6 and up. However, newer games might be slightly more demanding and will not
|
||
|
|
run smoothly on the old MK6 anymore.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
As for custom hardware, everything that's at least of MK6 specs should do the job. GPU-wise you are not bound to nVidia
|
||
|
|
cards. Though, the card of your choice has to support at least the OpenGL 2.0 standard.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
However, not that we have seen graphical glitches on AMD and Intel GPUs with NX2 which we haven't seen on older pump
|
||
|
|
versions. The game starts and runs but after some time you might encounter graphical glitches.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can also run the games in a VM. Recommended settings: 2 vCPUs, 2 GB RAM, OpenGL 2.0 hardware acceleration enabled
|
||
|
|
(requires installing drivers/kernel modules on your guest).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Operating system and environment setup
|
||
|
|
This document outlines common stuff that is required to run any of the games supported by pumptools. Make sure to follow
|
||
|
|
these properly and have your system prepared for the hooks before you continue with their dedicated readme files.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Linux distributions supported
|
||
|
|
If you have the required knowledge, you should be able to get this to run on any distribution available. However, there
|
||
|
|
are a few things to consider:
|
||
|
|
* The game is a 32-bit binary, you need to be able to run 32-bit binaries
|
||
|
|
* Naturally, the game requires 32-bit versions of the libraries it depends on
|
||
|
|
* The game is built with glibc. You might have a hard time on distributions not shipping with them by default, e.g.
|
||
|
|
Alpine Linux
|
||
|
|
* Kernel-wise, the latest kernels and everything that's not pre 2.6 should work. Due to various hook sub-modules, many
|
||
|
|
quirks in different games have been fixed to run all games on the latest upstream kernel versions of Linux.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Recommendation: Use a 64-bit Linux distribution of your choice. You can also use a 32-bit distribution as this is the
|
||
|
|
arch these games were built for but it does not come with any benefits. Prepare yourself to upgrade to 64-bit once any
|
||
|
|
of the newer games (finally) moves to that target architecture.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Dependencies
|
||
|
|
Each game and hook comes with a list of dependencies you might have to install. This depends on which type of dependency
|
||
|
|
resolution you pick.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When running this on a 64-bit Ubuntu, all packages must be installed as lib32 packages! When you are on Debian/Ubuntu
|
||
|
|
(based) distros and you are using apt, you have to enable multiarch support first:
|
||
|
|
```shell script
|
||
|
|
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
|
||
|
|
apt update
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Then, install the 32-bit packages like this where `<pkgname>` must be replaced accordingly:
|
||
|
|
```shell script
|
||
|
|
apt install pkgname:i386
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note: The `:386` postfix does not apply to packages like `gccmultilib` as this already covers the i386 part.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## GPU drivers
|
||
|
|
For `libGL`, you need to install a GPU driver and have hardware acceleration enabled. The `libGL` library provided also
|
||
|
|
needs to be 32-bit compatible.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To check if everything's installed and HW acceleration is working, just run `glxgears`. If that doesn't error and you
|
||
|
|
see the rendered gears spinning, you should be fine.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Sound drivers
|
||
|
|
Naturally, you also have to have sound stuff installed. Having alsa with its libraries available is sufficient. Pulse
|
||
|
|
and similar audio systems are not required, e.g. when running on a cabinet.
