ken_cinder Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 Oh noes! Someone actually made use of ZiNc plugins to get some games working PROPERLY in MAME without requiring a 50ghz CPU! Oh noes! I hate MAME devs, they're so anal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 He goes on about how development of Zinc won't proceed, but it doesn't seem to be proceeding anyway. There's been no releases for 2 years, I would dare to call it a dead project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtsaint Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 one of the reasons mame ++ stopped releasing build was cause the zinc dev labeled it an abomination and stated zinc developement would cease unless mame ++ stopped altogether Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 Which it did. But no progress on Zinc. That's why I say it was already dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizard Posted December 2, 2007 Author Share Posted December 2, 2007 Major irony there. They can suck it for all I care at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sybarite Paladin AxL Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Believe it or not, this is the thread I was searching for hehe... Too bad ZiNc was great in its day. Now back on topic, is MAME++ better at running the games ZiNc runs now? And is it still being updated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizard Posted January 11, 2008 Author Share Posted January 11, 2008 The ironic thing is, even with MAME++ out of the picture, he still doesn't bother to do anything with Zinc. Prove me wrong and I'll donate something to that. No ax, Mame++ is dead because all it really added was online play (basically just made it kaillera enabled) from the Mame+ build. Funny thing is, if any of the mame devs don't like something about ANY mame build, they'll say it's an abomination and that it shouldn't exist. Most of them are really stuck up bastards. Some of them are really nice though. I'm not gonna say any names other then Belmont's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of them are really stuck up bastards. Some of them are really nice though. I'm not gonna say any names other then Belmont's.Yeah, I totally agree to this. They are great in coding but a lot seems to be stuck up bastards.But MAME++ had really ONE big license disagreement: no sourcecode was released. The other to "don't link to closed source software (kaillera and pete's plugin)" and the Non-MAME games was nice either, but I don't know, why it needs to be closed down and then no new Zinc appears...Btw: they wanted to make Zinc open source wih the new release, probably that's the problem, they have a totally messy source!
