==Overview==
ZiNc is a command-line Windows emulator for arcade hardware based on Sony PlayStation hardware. These hardware 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 created GCEmu (a Nintendo GameCube emulator) and R.Belmont / SMF took over ZiNc development.

The latest version of the emulator is 1.1 (x86), released on 2005-01-25. It runs on Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8 & 10; and you can start this emulator with ZiNc.exe.
:Please note: This emulator needs BIOS image(s) to start ROM files!

==Issues==
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.

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.
