I'm amazed that skito hasn't beat me to the punch on this, as when I recorded, he sent me an e-mail a scant 30-some minutes later. Last Blade 2 does not play back properly. Therefore .inp submissions for the game are invalid. Please remove them, or I imagine Pat will.

Anyways, geez, c'mon guys, didn't you even WONDER why BBH wasn't first in it?

I wanted to mail him but i remembered mailing bubble the first time
they recorded a lastbld2 and obviously they didn't listen. I really
don't understand why anyone wouldn't play back their own recording to
see if it really did work to the score they recorded it with... Just
means some people are more in it for leaderboard points more than
anything else...

<p>

While someone (Pat) is "at it" they might as well zero out all the
banned unplaybackable gamed recordings and update their text messages
to reflect the posted scores... lastbld2, flipshot, carnvckt,
etc... These don't playback now but may playback later. The actuall
list is on gameboy's site.

The Last Blade 2 recordings are gone now. I don't think any
submission of which the .inp doesn't play back should be accepted.
After all, MARP stands for MAME Action REPLAY Page, as I heard
someone else say yesterday. So this is not limited to games for which
recordings never have played back. There are also submissions on
games for which recording works fine in general, but still every now
and then recordings that don't play back are submitted and people
include a screenshot at best. Recordings that only partially play
back should only be credited for the score that is reached when
playing back...

<p>

I still need to do some more cleaning up. On my list still are the
following games (short names): fitter, headon2, carnvckt. These are a
bit trickier because I've been told that fitter originally worked
fine, but was broken later on (anybody know with which version of
MAME that happened?). And as for headon2 and carnvckt, do none of the
recordings play back, or are there certain versions of MAME for which
the recordings do work? Thanks.

<p>

And before people start shouting, all the games I have mentioned here
have been officially banned after a vote. I think we need someone to
update the list and take over from Angry, so that everybody can see
which games and techniques are banned and for which reasons.

<p>

Cheers,
Ben Jos.

carnival seems to playback fine in m33b4, and i'd imaging headon2
might too. carnvckt was introduced as a clone after carnival ceased
to be playe back, so any carnvckt recordings should not playback. The
ones that are in there now are just carnival recordings saved as
carnvckt entries.

<p>

Here is a message thread i started a while back that shows status'es
of unplayabackable games, The name has "play back" in the Subject
line.

One More thing, if we can mention to the MAME DEV team that these
games don't playback, we should! I would really love to see some last
blade2 recordings but this is a mame ACTION replay page, so they
deserve the boot untill they can be played back.

<p>

I think we kind of have already taken it over from Angry since i think
gameboy just added the Angry Banned techniques to his list on his site
(not sure of link...)
