(*) Mac isn't officially supported, but does exist a way to play BM in that platform. No port for Xbox360 (although the Xbox360 controller is supported ). Linux will be supported only if developers could port the codebase over easily .'' (**) Not including the Free Source SDK, installed separately. Black Mesa will require Steam client with the Source SDK Base 2007 installed to run. Many Source games purchasable through Steam Store come with the Shared Resources, including the SDK, that you will need in order to run Black Mesa. To see if you can run Black Mesa, open Steam and look in the tools tab. If you see an entry titled "Source SDK Base 2007" installed, you can run Black Mesa. As of July, 2011, Valve made the Source SDK free for anyone to download . This means that users who create new Steam accounts will be able to play Black Mesa without having to purchase any games. Please note that neither the Nvidia or ATI free game packages come with the SDK base. If the SDK Base does not appear on the tools tab in Steam you must download it in order to play the mod.

When uncompressed and installed, the game will take approximately 8 GB of your hard-drive. At the moment, Black Mesa cannot be downloaded/installed via Steam. The mod has been accepted on Steam Greenlight, but when the mod will be available in that platform is entirely up to Valve (Valve Time, you know...). These instructions direct you to downloading the 3 Black Mesa required installation files directly from one of the GameFront links area, however there are still many websites (and even other links available on GameFront) that have our installation files available.

You would need a videocard with a decent peak fillrate and a fast enough CPU with at least two cores. Memory requirements are at least 512MB of video card onboard memory (preferably of a GDDR5 kind; or at least of GDDRx kind and not an ordinary DDRx one) and about 1GB of free system memory available for game engine to use. Low frequency quad core CPU would perform worse than high frequency dual-core or triple core CPU. Aim for 3GHz+ Intel Core i3/i5/i7 or 3.5GHz+ Athlon II/Phenom II or 3.8GHz+ AMD FX or AMD Socket FM1/FM2 AXX CPUs to be on a safe side. With Core i5/i7 and AMD FX CPUs SMT had been reported to cause performance regressions sometimes. You might wish to disable HyperThreding of your Intel CPU in motherboard system BIOS setup utility or set your AMD FX CPU to advertise one core per module if you happen to experience CPU-related performance issues in BM. As for recommended GPUs: Basing on personal experiences and reports on the forums, the NVidia GTX480, GTX580 or GTX670/680 would work well. SLI configurations had also been reported to work well – i.e. it's OK to use 2xGTX460 or 2xGTX560, and dual-chip cards like GTX490/590 would also work well. Expect some micro-stutter and worse minimal FPS with SLI – this is a typical problem for this technology.
