okey, so on the advice of Gryph and others i decided to give this Zinc 1.01 a shot... I have the following roms:

 

rvschool

sfexp

sfex2

sfex2p

sg2j

shiryu2

souledge

tekken2

 

how come none of the games except for Soul Edge work? I'm using Aldo's 2.01 frontend and whenever i try to boot one of the roms, i get a missing <xxxxxx.zip> (xxx = romfile) even though the image is definetly there. I bet there's a stupidly simple solution that i can't see in front of my face, but hopefully you can clear it up. How do you get the damn games to run?

[Diso]

use the command line format.

 

The aldo gui doesn't really work right now so we just have to wait till it does

[darkmage479]

i'm too lazy to use command prompt ...

is there a gui that works well?

It's not *perfect* yet, but it's good enough.

 

As to why those roms don't work, 2 reasons:

 

1) Many (if not most) have been re-dumped, and the old versions won't work with Zinc 1.0+

2) You need the new MAME ZN bioses, CPZN1 and CPZN2.

The best thing you can do is to download the corresponding MAME romsets. *Some* older Impact/Zinc romsets do work after some modifications.
