random guy Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 Has anyone actually managed to run a zn1 game on MAME yet (ie tekken, Rival Schools etc...)? cos everytime I try I just get a green screen. I know the message comes up saying "this game doesn't work properly"...but that would imply that it sometimes worked AT ALL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agozer Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 (edited) Do you have the proper BIOS? Edited February 11, 2004 by Agozer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weirdy Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 its not emulated on MAME yet because they wanna emulate a more different BIOS that whats on ZiNc, and those BIOS that they wanna emulated have heavy ass encryption so only the boot up colors are emulated for now ...ah well..just use ZiNc for now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
random guy Posted February 12, 2004 Author Share Posted February 12, 2004 Ah, okay, thanks. That makes sense. Yeah, I like Zinc, but the authors say its going to be discontinued (have a look at this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weirdy Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 btw, this is what it says in the zn driver source in mameSony ZN1/ZN2 - Arcade PSX Hardware ================================== Driver by smf QSound emulation based on information from the cps1/cps2 driver, Amuse & Miguel Angel Horna Taito FX1a sound emulation based on information from the Taito F2 driver The ZN1/ZN2 boards are standard boards from Sony. Extra sound h/w is included on the rom board, The BIOS is protected in all the games that run on this hardware. During boot up the BIOS decrypts parts of itself into ram using a device connected to the PSX controller port. As this is not emulated yet you only get the boot up colours.

I can get EG Ergeiz, Tekken's 1, 2, and 3, and soul calibur to load through mame. All be it, very slow, but still loading, none the less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're still better off playing Tekken/Soul Blade in ZiNc. Edited February 13, 2004 by Agozer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weirdy Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 and those aren't Zn games...they're namco system 12 games I think, not Zn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
