Zinc is driving me crazy!!!
Capthowdy:
STUPID QUESTION: am I able to use the standard MAME roms with zinc? Or are there different roms all together?
Capthowdy:
I can't get any of the Tekkens to run at higher than 20fps.

Same as Mame roms if I recall.

Unlike Mame, zinc makes use of your graphics card - so having a goodish 3D card is important.
Are you running in a window?
What resolution are you running the game at?
What is your graphics card? How much gfx mem? Is it an integrated chipset?

I have no idea what kind of video card I have. I didn't buy the computer new.
I DID fix part of the problem though. I figured out that I was running the games at too high of a resolution. I was running them at 1280x1024 because that is my monitor's default res. I thought that's what I was supposed to do. So i set it at 640x480 and that helped. Then I killed the sound and they started moving even faster. So I found a thread about the sound driver file or something. Replaced the file and it fixed it.
NOW...my problem is getting it to work with Mamewah and HowardC's wrapper. I'm not quite sure how to set all of that stuff up even after reading his website. I think I'm also missing some BIOS files that I need to get the games to run.
Question...are there multiple BIOS files that I need? or does someone have like an all-in-one package? This is really maddening. And there is not much on the wiki about it.

Hi there.
If you want, send me your e-mail and I can send you a complete set of bios, valid for mame and zinc (it's a bit over 7 mb).
As for running zinc in mamewah, I didn't use Howard's wrapper (not that there something wrong with it) cause I wanted to find a way on my own.
The solution was simple, to run a vbs (visual basic script) from mamewah. I've included the vbs; just rename wrapper.txt as wrapper.vbs. An in your emulator.ini in mamewah (zinc.ini) use the following settings:
### Execution Settings ###
emulator_executable d:\zinc\wrapper.vbs
commandline_format [name]{autodosbox}{nosafelaunch}
I know this isn't the most elegant solution, but at least it works (and it's my solution) :). Hope it works for you.
Cheers, :cheers:
