ZiNc is a command-line Windows emulator for arcade hardware based on Sony PlayStation hardware. These hardware systems include Sony ZiNc (ZN1 & ZN2) and Namco System 11. These games are also supported in [[MAME]], but ZiNc can frequently run them faster and with graphics and sound enhancements. The last version of ZiNc from original authors named 'Duddie' (Marcin Dudar; aka TheD / The Author) and 'Tratax' (DynaChicken) was v0.9; after that, they went on to create GCEmu (a [[GameCube emulators|Nintendo GameCube emulator]]) and R.Belmont / SMF took over ZiNc development. The source code was lost and it thus will never receive any further updates.

<nowiki>**</nowiki> This arcade-only release used the Tecmo TPS System (Capcom Sony ZN-1 with custom bios) and, while graphically similar to the PlayStation port of Dead or Alive, plays more like Dead or Alive 2.

ZiNc attempted to provide the fullest possible emulation for each of these compatible games while also running on relatively low-spec PCs.  However, there was no guarantee of perfect emulation for any of the games. Sound and/or music, in particular, may be incomplete or incorrect for certain types of games. Due to advances in emulation since the last ZiNc release, it is only recommended to use ZiNc over the latest MAME for performance reasons on ancient PCs or if MAME's included shaders are not sufficient to increase graphics quality.

ZiNc is not flexible enough to support games with analog controls.  As a result, some games on supported hardware that you may have seen in MAME (such as Crypt Killer) are not included.
