Can anyone get any of Wonder's APB and clones replays to work?

All of Wonder's replays do not work for me. The game crashes shortly after starting.

yeah this looks like a bad analog problem. The game not only crashes early but it crashes in random places even when using -fs0 and -throttle, you can tell when it's about to crash by monitoring the frame count (F11) and you'll notice the recorded speed goes haywire right before the crash occurs. I'll 2nd this unplaybackability, with a 3rd i think wonder will have to rerecord all with an earlier wolf version.

Although I havent tried to playback any of these, I can almost guarantee they won't work, which is why I was kinda surprised to see him submitting them all in the first place.

Playback was broken on APB eons ago (mame 0.37 anyone). Goes to show he doesn't check his inps before submitting!

For a past number of WolfMAME versions, I've had a small "fix" to correct the random number output from the Pokey, so I'd have to presume there is something else going on here.

I've also decided to remove that fix from future versions, as it didn't seem necessary anymore, after successful playback of a centipede inp in 0.106u12.
