Seems to go out of sync at one of the first punches.

Plays back fine for me - 11080 first stage, 2070 second stage => total 13150.
Even with sound on, and responds correctly to F10.

SDLmame 0.123 + wolfmame patches under Fedora 8.

using wolfsdlmame in fc7 (and also another laptop with an intel chip) i get the same 600 point score, i did notice this:

7406.10b ROM NEEDS REDUMP
7407.11b ROM NEEDS REDUMP

my crcs are
524288 Defl:X 388816 26% 12-24-96 23:32 04a214b1 7406.10b
524288 Defl:X 377193 28% 12-24-96 23:32 635d4052 7407.11b

I also get the redump warnings, but game replays fine:

This SDLmame is compiled for 32bit Pentium-M (Centrino 1.8Ghz).

the warning we expect, but what are the crcs of those two in the funkyfght.zip rom?

OK, finally figured out which switches for unzip to get the crc...
Lower compression, but the crcs look the same...

darn i was hoping it was an altered rom, oh well, anyone else have luck or lack of? I still can't get it to work.

Always plays back to 600 for me, regardless of throttling/frameskip.

Strange ... It playbacks fine to me (note that as i try many new submitted games, during this period, i try to playback every inp).

I can upload somewhere my SDLmame Linux binary, if anyone wants to try that one under another Fedora8.
It's a bit largish though... 31638104 bytes to be precise and depends on the following libs:

Now going to see how well the wolf 0.123 patches apply to SDLmame 0.124

if you do, you should bzip2 it. Somehow i don't think it's the executable, it may have something to do with system architecture and not the code, like our set A/B problem of mame63.

Do note that INP functionality is quite broken in 0.124, which is why there hasn't been any release as yet. I'd doubt that SDLMAME is any different in that regard.

dipports113 needs a few changes, but it doesn't look hard. Of course I don't have a firm grasp of what it actually does, so perhaps I'm underestimating the effort...
inpview12-123 applies with fuzz except for the emu.mak, but that's trivial.

As per wolf123, it has five failed hunks - I may give it a shot Sunday, now it's bedtime as tomorrow I'll have a 3-hour drive to go to a friend's wedding.

@Chad - yes, I would of course have bz2'd it still, if you start from 30+megs... it gets to be slightly over 8MB. If you're interested I'll look into either uploading it somewhere or email it to you, perhaps in pieces.

Alessandro.S, no, i actually don't think it will work because i have the same patches applied to the same architecture here and it didn't work in 123. I didn't notice you were going to aplpy them to 124. barry is right, he already scolded me (like he seems to do pretty often) for thinking just changing the wolfpatches to match the 124 source doesn't fix the inherent problem with inps that are broken. I'm assuming that they tried to fix the timing issues for input lag but didn't realize that when you make an input it has to be recorded on the correct side of the frame you are recording to get played back right, just assuming though barry might be more enlightening if the problem is worse.

OK, got it - will wait for a fixed release then, in the meantime I'll keep playing 0.123. Thanks !
