Dragon Saber - Playback?

Post by sikraiken »

Whenever I try to record a game of Dragon Saber, I get to around the middle of Level 2 and end up dying a stupid death, and the game is over because you only get one life. (I'm still learning the game, ;P) Anyhow, when I try to play it back, it will not playback. I have tried recording sound off, playing back sound off w/o and w/ frameskip speed up. I have also tried sound on, playing back with sound on w/o and w/ frameskip speed up. When I play back w/o frameskip speed up, I leave it on Frameskip 0 right from the start of the game. It never plays back to where I got to, it always stops somewhere on the first level. I am using regular MAME (not DOS or MAME32) and the newest version, .59 . I see that only Bubble's recordings have been confirmed. Anyone remember what settings they got those to playback on? I'll play on MAME .36 if I have to. Or maybe someone knows how I can get it to playback in the current versions? Any help would be nice. :) (BTW, my NVRAM folder is deleted, could that make a difference?)

Did you try MAMEW? Without scanlines? It should playback correctly, as someone did indeed confirm it..

I tried it in XMAME 0.59.1, and it played back to 26k (early stage 2) with the -noafs switch. Will try DOS version "eventually" :)

thanks. with out sound might be better next time (even though less enjoyable it'll potentially playback better)... don't think it's the first time a recording has played back once only, i hate when that happens.
