ZiNc Problems

[Paco62]

I have Zinc config'd the way people have written about on this forum, but when I load a game through MAME (or when I tried it through Playstation Games), the screen goes black, it pauses for a few seconds and then goes back to the game description screen. I've set it up like this:

UseZinc=True

ZincEXE=zinc.exe

ZincPath=C:\Program Files\Emulators\Zinc

ZincOptions=--renderer=.\renderer.znc

and I've seen a couple posts about this:

Have you got:

FullScreen = 1

in renderer.cfg?

...but I don't know how to check the renderer.cfg file. Can someone please help me? Thanks in advance for your patience and help.

Well, first I apologize for wasting anybody's time. I figured out how to change the .cfg file, but it still just goes blank and then goes back to the selection screen. Any ideas?

Alright, last but not least. I am stumped on how to get ZiNc to use the same keyboard and joystick settings as MAME does. Can anybody throw me a bone, please?

The answer to configuring the controls in ZiNC is here: http://www.bannister.org/ubb/ultimatebb.ph...t=001668#000000

Note for GameEx, once you have the controls configured for every game, you DO NOT need to configure a MAP file. You also do not want to configure a ROM path as GameEx takes care of that. All I did after setting the controls up was to add

--use-config-file="D:\Emulators\Zinc\zinc.cfg" --use-renderer-cfg-file="D:\Emulators\Zinc\renderer.cfg" to the ZiNC command line options in GameEx.

Works perfectly and I have a strange configuration of USB gamepad for joystick and standard MAME keyboard mappings for buttons.

zinc is a nightmare, i got it working, but it was so difficult and buggy that since changing controlers ive turned it off for now and am waiting for a hopefully cleaned up release.

(anyone manage to get it working with pete's psx plugins?)

Thanks. Looks like I will trudge through the process. I've got a Slikstik coming and want to be able to use it for ZiNc.
