This system is a little bit complicated to configure if you never use it.
First, there is 2 emulator for this system psxmame and Zinc.
For Zinc have you installed the full package ? with ZiNcGUI.exe and all the plugging for joystick ?
You have normaly a file in the same folder than zinc.exe called "zinc.cfg", you can edit it with notepad
Here it's mine
Code: Select all
--roms-directory=roms
--use-sound=yes
--sound-filter-enable=no
--sound-filter-cutoff=22050
--sound-surround-lite-enable=no
--sound-surround-lite-multiplier=40
--sound-stereo-exciter=no
--use-slow-geometry=yes
--use-mem-predict=no
--use-stackinram-hack=no
--use-renderer-cfg-file=renderer.cfg
--renderer=d3d_renderer.znc
--controller=Dinput\madll.dll
;--xxcontroller=pcfg\controller.znc
;--xxuse-controller-cfg-file=pcfg\defautperso.cfg
Check if the param on this file are ok.
Try to launch directly the file "mGalaxy_Script.exe", it will don't work but it's just to see if you have error message.

I have only zincgui.exe and not the zinc.cfg, but in the folder zcfg there is a file called defaultzinc.cfg, here is its content:
Code: Select all
--roms-directory=Z:\Arcade\Zinc\roms
--use-sound=yes
--sound-filter-enable=no
--sound-filter-cutoff=22050
--sound-surround-lite-enable=no
--sound-surround-lite-multiplier=40
--sound-stereo-exciter=no
--use-slow-geometry=yes
I tried to create the file zinc.cfg (with the content that you posted) in the zinc folder but still doesn't work.

In fact ZincGui can make config file, and It's realy usefull, run a game with zincgui and copy/paste the file, renamed "zinc.cfg"
It seem your configuration isn't finished
You miss graphic renderer and controller renderer on your file.
--controller=Dinput\madll.dll this one is personal, you can't have the same
But you need theses one
--use-renderer-cfg-file=renderer.cfg
--renderer=d3d_renderer.znc
And I have in renderer.cfg
Code: Select all
; renderer settings
XSize = 640 ; window/fullscreen X size
YSize = 480 ; window/fullscreen Y size
FullScreen = 0 ; Fullscreen mode: 0/1
ColorDepth = 32 ; Fullscreen color depth: 16/32
ScanLines = 0 ; Scannlines: 0=none, 1=black, 2=bright
Filtering = 3 ; Texture filtering: 0-3
Blending = 0 ; Enhanced color blend: ogl: 0/1; D3D: 0-2
Dithering = 1 ; Dithering: 0/1
ShowFPS = 1 ; FPS display on startup: 0/1
FrameLimitation = 1 ; Frame limit: 0/1
FrameSkipping = 1 ; Frame skip: 0/1
FramerateDetection = 1 ; Auto framerate detection: 0/1
FramerateManual = 100 ; Manual framerate: 0-1000
TextureType = 3 ; Textures: 0=default, 1=4 bit, 2=5bit, 3=8bit
TextureCaching = 2 ; Caching type: 0-2
TurnDisplay = 1 ; Turn the whole display (0-2, 0=default)
Can you make this emul working in stand alone mode ?
You need too the file "firmware.zip" and other bios file

Try to launch directly the file "mGalaxy_Script.exe", it will don't work but it's just to see if you have error message.
Try with this file called zinc.cfg in the same folder than zinc.exe
Code: Select all
--roms-directory=Z:\Arcade\Zinc\roms
--use-sound=yes
--sound-filter-enable=no
--sound-filter-cutoff=22050
--sound-surround-lite-enable=no
--sound-surround-lite-multiplier=40
--sound-stereo-exciter=no
--use-slow-geometry=yes
--use-mem-predict=no
--use-stackinram-hack=no
--use-renderer-cfg-file=rcfg\defaultD3D.cfg
--renderer=d3d_renderer.znc
--controller=pcfg\controller.znc

Yep normal ^^.
It's because this line --controller=pcfg\controller.znc
I think you are using another pluggin, try with --controller=controller.znc, if you are using the controller.znc that is in the same folder than zinc.
Or if you are using the good one, add in the file use-controller-cfg-file=pcfg\defautperso.cfg with the good path to your controller cfg file.
