Please try without sound. Seems that I've forgotten to state in the description field that it plays back correctly only without sound, sorry about that.

Yes. I used a mouse (don't own a trackball). I adjusted the analogue settings quite high to be able to move faster.

speaking of 35tgb3, I was trying this in Win98 a couple evenings ago and it would get to the initial mame game intro screen and sometimes even after pressing any key get the game partially booting but then it would "freeze".

I could hit escape to quit it, but on a few attempts with a few different games had the same problem each time.

I was able to run the "regular" mame35b* just fine though....issue just specific to the tg version.

any clues? I'm not that familiar with those older versions. I was only testing it to view an old inp.

I had a friend try regular mame35 in winxp and it seems to not even start up for him. Is this old version of mame not compatible with winxp?

I'm going to visit him today and we are going to try it on his older portable that I think still has win98 running on it...so we can see if he gets same results I got.

Any help getting that old version running would be appreciated.

I also tried restarting in dos mode and I got a report some cpdmi.. file was needed or something similarly named. I have no idea what that is and where to get it. I was thinking with that old version perhaps it will only truly run in DOS...not a Dos "shell" from win98 or xp.

the old mame versions m37b14 and below ARE dos (win98) truly compatible only, (except for the mame32 ones) but if mame35 works m35tg should work, if it doesn't it might not be a tg3 recording... dos mames DO NOT work in winXP with sound, they must be called with -soundcard 0, and they barely work with out sound, according to gatez software will continue to turn incompatible with new windoze oses, if you think .NET applications will be safe from this upward incompatibility regime you're wrong, fight the power :)

btw, try mame3235tg3 that does work in XP with sound but sometimes mame32 doesn't playback dosmame recordings...

I'm not even referring to playing back inps specifically.

I can't get a game to fully launch and play in 35tgb3. I could with the regular 35betas though.

I would have to check if I did the same tests with mame32-35tgb3. I didn't know TG had a mame32 version of their mame.

I did run mame32-35 regular version though and that worked but color palette is all screwed up.

I am only working with those to watch a couple old inps...not to play.

I'll tell my friend about the -soundcard 0 thing for use in XP. That might solve that 1 issue.

I wished I knew that when I visited him. We had tried with "silence" selected when prompted for sound emulation mode. That's not same as it not seeing any sound though.
