Emulating 3D Arcade Games With Zinc

Mame can run a lot of these 3D games. But they seem to run really bad for the most part. In Zinc they run great and you can up the Graphics Options.
I use Da Freaks GUI Version 1.9.5, and Zinc 1.1.

Get Zinc 1.1 and a Frontend for it here:http://www.emulator-zone.com/doc.php/arcade/zinc.html

Step 1:Make sure you have the proper Bios files. Paste them Zipped up in your roms folder. I have the full compatibility List Included below.

Step 2:Run the Zinc GUI. Every game requires that you edit its Config individually. Click the game then on the right should be all your Options, click the Show Renderer Config.

Now if you want to turn up the graphics this is where you do it. If you have a decent PC, then turn the Blending to the highest and turn Dithering on. You can also turn up the Texture Quality. Also makes sure Frame limit is on.

Step 3: When you set your Controls make sure you Save your Configuration, and again this must be done for every game. Now just run your game.

I wrote a guide for zinc without using a front end (because some times they don't get updated to support the newer roms).

You can take a peek here: http://daroms.com/faqs/danzinc.html
