It's all to do with the correct command line for each game.

ZiNc uses the "game number" to load on the command line,
not the "game name"
example xevious = 40

then it requires the renderer config file and renderer file to be set.

renderer.cfg
d3d_renderer.znc

here is a sample GB setup with xevious.
each game has been configured with the same gfx renderer.

i have tried your GB and works.
i tried to make my GB like your and don't works.

i have used your zinc.txt script..but when i lauch the game, don't start.
in the gamebase i have inserted game in order ID so any games now have real number: Star Gladiatro is 1, Star Gladiator 2 is 14..
but nothing..

however i'll use your GB...at least this works..:)
so i have only to add the games

I tried the Zinc gamebase and added the missing roms files and it works a treat. The games are awesome and i just need the missing screenshots now.

the game number has been added to the Gemus.
if you press f2 over xevious, you will see...
NAME=40

the script reads that NAME VALUE and add this to the command line.

Add_CLP(40 --use-renderer-cfg-file=renderer.cfg --renderer=d3d_renderer.znc

which is the same as typing this from the command prompt in DOS.

zinc 40 --use-renderer-cfg-file=renderer.cfg --renderer=d3d_renderer.znc

I dont see the point of creating a gamebase and not sharing it with everyone, i have personally created lots of them and share them all.

i only uploaded the setup to help Seiya make the gamebase.

my version is identical to the upload above (no screens).
but i do have the ROMs included.

i can upload them if you want, and snap the few screens for the games if Seiya does not want to make it. :wink:
