Zinc is a system 11 and capcom zn-1 and zn-2 emulator. There is a windows version and a linux version. The linux version of zinc .8 isn't released yet. The windows version of zinc .8 is out.


Here is what's new::


fixed s11 eeprom

added test switch to sonic wings limited

added --renderer= switch to choose rendering plugin

controller plugin support

added --controller= switch to choose controller plugin

fixed crashing bug for Kosodate Quiz My Angel 3

added test switch to Psychic Force

added 2nd player to all drivers

on error now returns 1 and 0 on success

tekken 2 geometry fix (BIG HUGE THANKS to calb from ePSXe for this fix!)

removed dynachicken tuning switches, nobody could understand them and everyone managed to piss away all their performance with them so we now use hardcoded values that run all games quickly without crashing

crc32 checking added for ROMs. incorrect/hacked ROMs will no longer be allowed to load

psychic force sample rom renamed to match reality

input mini-SDK included with instructions on how to write a controller plugin

default keys remapped a bit for tekken/soul edge. to remap them further write a plugin or wait for someone else to

new OpenGL and Direct3D renderers from Pete Bernert with Tekken/Tekken 2 texture fixes (same as in GLIDE 1.1 by Lewpy) and resolution X/Y autoswap for rotated games

Aldo's Zinc 1.5 Frontend is out.

New: Support for Zinc 0.9.

Some games may not work anymore due the new CRC validation of Zinc. That's a Zinc "feature", not a problem with the front end.

hi aldo can you add --use-slow-geometry=yes switch into your frontend again, it fixes graphic problems in Soul Edge ;)

New: Key and joypad configurator for winterblast's Zinc Controller. Added configuration for 2 players, now use key/joypad config per game (if "Game Setting" switch is on), fixed *my* Left/Right swapped bug :)
