i got the rom inthe correct directory but tell me more about the following and let me see if i can fix this prob Get the BIOS from -edited out-, it called Firmware.zip and it has to be in the same directory as the roms. Do you have a frontend or are you just clicking the zinc.exe and expect something to happen. Get a good frontend from http://www.aldostools.xom unless you haven't already. The frontend usually gives you better control over the program and especially the video settings. I would also recommend that you get the atest Direct3D and OpenGL graphics plugins from the official site: http://www.emuhype.com And finally, read the documentation, read it twice even.
