Mame can but Zinc does it better
and Yes I think MameWah can launch it.

Get a mate that knows what he is talking about is your first step. ;)


Capcom vs Snk ins't emulated because it's a naomi game.  The closest you can get is to run it on chankast (a dreamcast emu).    Zinc only emulates games based on psx arcade hardware, which are generally 3d, and generally capcom or namco titles.  (Think SF Ex and tekken).

Always jump to easyemu for questions like that.  www.mameworld.net/easyemu (http://www.mameworld.net/easyemu) and see if they have a section on the emulator in question (yes, they have a zinc guide).  But they are GREAT!

And I still use Zinc for a ton of games.  Have to until I can upgrade my arcade PC to a 3.4ghz machine

AtomicFE with the Arcade plug and play module automically configures Zinc and runs it when Zinc does a "better" job than Mame.
