Afternoon all, i have Mamewah currently configured with Zinc )yeah it was a ripe pain to get going the first time) now i'm setting up the big project PC for the cabinet and have set up all my emulators on the C: and all the ROMS are stored on the F: i'm doing this to keep everything nice and secure and seperated and when i want to upgrade the emulator, i can just copy it over to the C: and know i am managing my collection where it won't accidently be overwritten or damaged (thank god for RAID) anyway i have all emulators working bar Zinc in this setup, does anybody have some suggestions on how to make all the files point to F: for the ROMS for Zinc??? or is this just an unatainable dream? cheers e |

Hi there. Just edit the zinc.cfg file to look something like this: extension=.zip path=d:\zinc\ send rom path=1 send exit keys=1 command line options;--use-config-file=zinc.cfg --use-renderer-cfg-file=renderer.cfg --roms-directory=d:\mame\roms\ As you can see, my zinc directory is d:\zinc, while my rom directory is the same as my mame rom directory. Just poing --roms-directory to f:\roms, or something similar. Hope this helps. Cheers, Congui |

You might find this thread on setting up Zinc under Mamewah useful ;) http://www.mameworld.info/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=102633&page=1&view=expanded&sb=5&o=&fpart=1&vc=1&new=#Post102633 It also includes useful downloads such as a zinc.dat file for gamelist purposes, and some config files to help you map mame default keys over to zinc games as you load them. This can save you a lot of key-remapping headaches, without the need for a GUI frontend. |

thanks for the help guys, no luck at this stage though :( here is my zinc config file, extension=.zip path=C:\Games\Zinc\zinc.exe send rom path=1 send exit keys=1 command line options;--use-config-file=zinc.cfg --use-renderer-cfg-file=renderer.cfg --roms-directory=F:\Zinc\roms i cannot even boot a zinc game at this stage through command propmt, it tells me there are missing zip files in the /roms directory..... any ideas?? |
