Acidspunk requires MMX, where can I download that ?

You can't download MMX. MMX is a processor feature introduced in the pentium-chip. Not all pentium chips have MMX, however, but all Pentium II and newer chips have MMX. Celeron chips have MMX too.

Acidspunk requires directX, where can I get that ?

directX is installed in Windows98 and later. To get the newest directX drivers visit www.microsoft.com

Why does Acidspunk say "Unrecogniced error value" when I start it ?

I'm not sure about this one, since it's an unknown error as the message said and I never had that error myself. If you have old directX drivers or run windowsNT you may get this error message, but people with new drivers have reported the error message too. I have tried using som older directX features in version 2.08 that may work better. Try getting this version or later.

Why does Acidspunk say "video mode not supported" ?

You have probably forgotten to configure the plugin before running. I will maybe implement a default videomode detection in a future version.

Why is Acidspunk so slow on my computer ?

Acidspunk does millions of very complex calculations each second, so it requires some computational power. Maybe I will implement an 8-bit
