StriderSkorpion Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 Zinc for sure runs Tekken and, IIRC, MAME should support it too. I don't know how good the emulation is in either, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wacko_jacko Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agozer Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StriderSkorpion Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 (edited) 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. Edited April 30, 2004 by StriderSkorpion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sound chip documentation ws pretty much dead-on accurate with the SNES with just a few things from the SPC7001 pending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StriderSkorpion Posted May 1, 2004 Share Posted May 1, 2004 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). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That might be, but that the only answer you'll get at this point. When they do get the sound working, you'll know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
