System Requirements as of Feb 7 2008

For best game performance and the most fun, we recommend:

• Windows Operating System
  • Windows 2000, XP, Vista are supported
    • Feb 19 2007, Computers running Microsoft Vista may have severe issues because of graphic drivers from graphic card vendors not being completely finalized. Computers running Microsoft Vista may need to be reconfigured to temporarily lower security settings in order to make installations possible. Become completely familiar with Vista User Account Control and file permissions before attempting to install Fighter Ace. Because of these severe issues we do not recommend Vista at this time. This will be updated once we feel Microsoft and their hardware vendors have ironed out their issues.
  • Beta Versions, Release Candidates, Win95, Win98, Win NT 4.x, Win 3.x and 'XP Lite' and any other special versions are not supported (look at http://linux.ketsujin.com for wine support regarding Fighter Ace.)
