Anyone running Zinc in their cab?
« on: July 26, 2003, 12:02:12 pm »
I discovered Zinc last night and was wondering if anyone was running it.

So far I have plans for:

MAME .71
Daphne

but was wondering how I could intergrate Zinc into the cabinet as well?

I run Zinc as well as many other emulators through the MameWah FE.  All of the controls can be programmed so you don't need a keyboard (for both Zinc and MW)

Well, not ALL of the zinc controls can be reprogrammed.  Things like the start buttons and quit are set in stone :)

As long as they match the MAME controls I don't care.

What games does Zinc run?

The SFEX series, Strider 2, and other 3d games. Tekken, ect.

Zinc Gui is good, the only problem is there is a bug where I believe p2 button 6 does not work....

Since the boards being emulated are running versions of the PS1 hardware, I was a little dissapointed with the framerates on some of the games (noticably Rival Schools and that gigantic robot fighting one).

Running it on a P4 2.2 Ghz with 1Gb ram and a Geforce3 Ti 200 and those games slow to a 20 fps crawl.

i find the games run better on OpenGl for me also, but that will change dependent on your video card.
i use a 128meg Geforce 3 Ti200

The "rule" is: OpenGL for Nvidia cards and D3D for ATI cards.  Seems to work.  When I set the render to D3D with my RADEON 7000 I saw a good increase in speed.  50-60fps on a Duron 900 with 256MB.  Not too shabby.

That's not entirely true.  Older versions of ati cards do better in d3d, but anything newer than a radeon 7000 will do better in ogl.
