ZiNc is an emulator for arcade video games based on Sony PlayStation hardware. This includes systems from Capcom, Taito, Konami, Tecmo, and Namco, among others. These games are also supported in MAME, but ZiNc can frequently run them faster and with graphics and sound enhancements (therefore not a full emulator, see also simulators).

R.Belmont, one of the authors of ZiNc, says:

"ZiNC is intended for people too cheap to buy a machine that runs MAME well. If you own a cabinet, you have that kind of money." [1]
