I hear about zinc from a friend but there is no sound

thanks in advance

Zinc for sure runs Tekken and, IIRC, MAME should support it too. I don't know how good the emulation is in either, though.

[wacko_jacko]

They run pretty crap, so u are better off getting the psx versions and playing them instead. Or you could wait for the final version of Zinc, which is supposedly due out later this year sometime.

Some games in ZiNc don't have sound due to the poor documentation of the sound chip in those games. To be more precise, the documentation was never released.

That's where reverse engineering comes into play. That has helped with NES and SNES emulation, if I'm not mistaken. It's probably helped with other console/computer/arcade emulation too.

Yes, but reverse engionerring is not child's play, especially when the Namco chip is in question. The sound chip documentation ws pretty much dead-on accurate with the SNES with just a few things from the SPC7001 pending.

Yeah, but some of the people behind the emulation can be considered professional "hackers." The special chips for SNES weren't documented, but they were able to find ways to emulate them (i.e. C4).

Is there no other emulator to run tekken meanwhile

That might be, but that the only answer you'll get at this point. When they do get the sound working, you'll know.

That's the way of the world, kiddo. And the ZinC emulation for it isn't that great either. I have it and the colors and polygons get screwy sometimes.

Hey guys. I see that there is this tekken that runs on snes emu and on some mame emus

 

got word on that

[StriderSkorpion]

Huh? There may be a bootleg rom for the SNES that's "Tekken," but it would be totally 2D like the NES bootleg and Genesis bootleg Virtua Fighter vs. Tekken (not actual in game name). The SNES one looks to be the VF hack w/ all Tekken characters ported to the SNES. MAME emulates Tekken and so does Zinc. Aside from that I don't know of any other arcade emulators that run it.

[neo]

yeah it shows somewhat like 2D on snes

 

what version of mame runs it, you know??
