i'm keen to pick up some tips on defender. i downloaded the top 3 defender inps from the AR site but none of them actually play back - mame just loads and either a) goes through the Defender initial config screen or b) loads up and just goes through the Defender into - scores, title screen etc. nothing ever actually plays back.

can anyone help?

i've tried both ways of playing the inps back - the manual way and the batch file. still no joy.

thanks

You have tried to use the MAME version in which the inp was recorded? (Or the equivalent MAME32 version, if you can't run a DOS version)

i've just downloaded the versions direct from the arp site. now when it give me the choices of sound card, it crashes on each one - unless i pick 0 - no sound and it just takes me back to the dos prompt.

i really want to watch the number 1 defender score on the ar site. mame 35 dos obviously doesnt work - any ideas where i can get mame32 v35 from??

it doesnt seem that easy so far to view a playback.

DOS versions aren't easy to get working under any NT version of Windows.

-unzipped at your mame directory, though all missing dll's should be found using google.

Only needed for MAME Plus or WolfMAME Plus running under Windows 95, 98 or Me. Provides Unicode functionality under Win9x. Not needed at all for MAME.

STILL doesnt work. that download you gave me shows this message each time i double click on the program:

this application has failed to start because audiow32.dll was not found.
