Two questions about mame and zinc

[Mangudai]

1. How do you configure a joystick for mameplus? I know you can press tab while your in a game to cange contrils but when I press anything on my controller nothing registers. I can use this same controller flawlessly on other emulators like winkawaks, neorage and zinc.

2. How do you make Tekken 3 work on zinc 1.02? When I go to play it, it stays at this screen that said "Initaializing and has some other writing on the screen but I dont know what it means. I can get games liek tekken 2, street fighter ex 2 plus etc to work.

Thanks!

1. While running Mame32plus, select menu "Options" -> "Default Game Options" -> "Controllers" tab -> Check "Enable Joystick input", then select your joystick "ID" for P1, P2 an so on. If you''re talking about Mameplus (command line), open "mame.ini -> go to section: "### Input device options ###" then on line "joystick 0", replace the "0" for "1"

2. The latest version of Zinc it's 1.1 (January 25, 2005), so the issue might be already fixed (I think it's has nothing to do, but its' better to update ). Please note that some romsets have changed since 1.0.2, so some games might not work. You'd need to download the new sets for this version. If still don't work, would be helpful to post that screen here

Thanks a lot man :P That joystick set up worked like a charm. But im still having problems with Tekken 3. Im starting to think thats its not the proper rom.

Thanks again bro

No problem, just post your feedback here (message Zinc tells, or a screen shot of that) and we'll see what we can do

[Mangudai]

Ok, well I tried to rebuild the rom and it still did the same thing.

heres what it does when you load it: Btw when I choose to loada game it reads the game as Tekken 3(JP) Ver. A

Looks like you're in service or test mode, the question it's why. Please take a look at this:

1 - Start player 1
2 - Start player 2
4 - Test switch (enters test mode in most games)
5 - Coin player 1
6 - Coin player 2
7 - Service switch

I'd stick with Service & Test Switches keys and see what happens. I will try to move on this menu, I think you canm exit manually with the standard keys. I'll post more info tomorrow when I can test Tekken 3 on Zinc by myself.

Hmm that would make a lot of sense. But I tried pressing 7 to no avail. I tried pressing all the buttons on the keyboard and nothing moves. I use a controller btw. hmm..

[hagbard]

I'd install Zinc form scratch in a new folder, set up the roms dir and try again. I haven't been able to recreate the situation you show in your screen shot. Btw, thta keys might be <F2> and <F3> , because you might using an input plugin via frontend or something.
Good luck

^^ I tried thata few hours ago after reading your post. Im just about ready to give up. Maybe it does like my d3d plug-in?

*Goes to try opengl*

[hagbard]

Btw, which Windows version are using?
And which DirectX? (Start->Run->type "dxdiag")
Also, try updating your gfx card drivers.
And yes, you might be luckier with OGL

wow! I think it's the 3rd time I post the same
