## Controls - ZINC

There are 2 ways to configure Zinc controls with zinc emulator.

### Automatic configuration

Select option "DYNAMIC" in the advanced system settings to enable automatic configuration (CONTROLS submenu).

3 profiles are available :

* Street Fighter
* Soul Edge
* Tekken

### Configuration based on pre-defined files

Select option "PRE-DEFINED" in the advanced system settings to enable automatic configuration (CONTROLS submenu).

A profile .cfg file can be created for each individual game, to do so, you can either modify the existing profile file for the game or delete it and create a new file (files are located in the  `\emulators\zinc\cfg` folder)&#x20;

Ensure the .cfg file name starts with the game ID.

RetroBat automatically uses the first .cfg file found for which the name starts with the game ID.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Zinc emulator does not support the d-pad, only axis are recognized on modern gamepads.
{% endhint %}

## Specific system information

### ROMs

{% hint style="danger" %}
PSXMame and Zinc emulator do not use the same ROMset, games working fine with Zinc might not work with PSXMame and vice-versa.
{% endhint %}

The list of compatible games can be found [HERE](https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/ZiNc).

DO NOT UNZIP or RENAME the game files.

Some games require CHD files, these must be placed in a subfolder that has the same name as the gamezip:
