- Can flip sprites horizontally/vertically
- Can set motion_x and motion_y variables for sprites
- Sprites can loop continuously or just once
- If you want to change the way something looks in this new UI,
chances are that you can change it via the Configuration menu.

- Samba/NetBIOS sharing support (read roms from your PC)

- Relax Network Sharing (read roms from your PC)

- Play MP3 or M3U playlists in the background
(Can also read MP3/M3U from across Samba/Relax shares.)

- User definable save directory. If you don't like the default of
E:SAVESZ26X you can change it via the Z26X.INI file

- Take in-game screenshots and display them on the game selection list

- New UI feature - auto-screenshot capture mode. When enabled, the emu
will start taking screenshots at a user-defined interval. Useful for
ripping sprites/animation.

- Graphics filters :
+ 2xSai
+ Super 2xSai
+ Eagle
+ Super Eagle
+ SuperScale
+ AdvanceMame 2x
+ Simple 2x
+ 2xSai Scanline
+ Super 2xSai Scanline
+ Eagle Scanline
+ Super Eagle Scanline
+ SuperScale Scanline

- Record/Playback feature - record your gameplay in the emu and then
play it back again. Record up to 10 minutes of gameplay.

- Every single in-game command is fully customizable on any of the
four joypad controllers.

- Map any emulator or UI command to a single button or a combination of
two buttons. (e.g. RTrigger+LTrigger = Save State)

- Autofire capabilities for any emulator button on any controller

- One-button combos (define a series of emulator commands to be played
back when you press a user-definable XBox controller combination.)
(E.g. Press RTrigger+LTrigger to execute the command string
A,B,A,B,Up,Down,Left,Right)

- Traverse any directory on any drive ( Continue selecting the parent
directory entry on the file selection list to get the drive selection
list. Selectable drives are C, D, E, F, R, X, Y, Z, and SMB.
R is the CDROM drive. SMB is the samba share you have defined in your
Z26X.ini file.) Press Y from any file-listing screen to go up one
directory level.

- All UI commands (save state, load state, screenshot, etc) can be
invoked from the Options/Pause menu as well as in-game via your
customized joypad mappings.

- Can be invoked from a command-line to directly run a game from a front-end
or dashboard and bypass the user-selection screens. (Only if the frontend
or dashboard supports this feature.)

- Can return to the launching program *if* the launching program supports this
feature. For example, if the custom-launch routines are incorporated into
a new frontend, that frontend could launch Z26X and when you exit
Z26X, that frontend can be automatically reloaded.

Default ROM dir is D:A26ROMS

Great job on this one man! I love the skin.

Xport, you simply amaze me. This whole scene owes you a debt of gratitude.

Where or How can I find this emulator?

I will appreciate your answer.

Thanks

we should all show our respect to xport by playing through h.e.r.o. (1984, activision)

Thank you so much, Xport! And great skin, CandyISO, love the game selection menu!

Xport - Would you please add support for the keypad/keyboard controller? It's already a feature of the PC version of Z26 so it should be in the source. It would take 12 spaces in the controller definition. This controller type is used by Star Raiders (one of the games featured in the skin), Basic Programming, and a few other games.

Just grabbed this and LOVE it. Your the best.

Side note, zip appears to not be supported. (Not that it is needed for 2600 roms, since they are TINY, but hey, worth mentioning...)

Yea, I want to see zip support. Good job like usual
