I'm having a lot more problems playing back Bally/Midway games (Discs of Tron, Satan's Hollow) and NeoGeo games (Magical Drop 3) with .36final than I was with most beta versions of MAME32. Anybody know why this is, and what the last solidly reliable version of MAME or MAME32 for recording these games was?
<p>

p.s. Donut, if you're reading this, it seems like as soon as I break 4mil on Magical Drop 3 (Magical Journey), it won't play back the same first level in my recording. Have you had similar problems? (respond here, e-mail still down)

If you have a 4m recording can you send it to me so I can check it?
Your 3.5M on the game you posted looks good. GB9 thought it was
leeched because you didn't hit any flames to advance spaces, but I
told him that the thing speeds up after so many boards and it knocked
you out. If you send me one of your inps, let me know what version so
I can use the right one.

Yeah, I can send it tonight via my dad's e-mail. I don't think you'll
have much luck playing it back, as it essentially breaks on the first
screen. The frustrating thing is that my highscore screen shows the
scores but I'll be damned if I can prove them.

<p>

And for anyone thinking that game was a leech, like Donut said, by
about 3mil, you're fighting against the clock.

yeah - the recording is fine with me
<p>

I think Q.T. mentioned the DirectSound problem in MAME 32 - I think
he said the latest version that it's working on is 36 beta 10.
Better yet - with the neogeo games at least - use 35 FINAL. That's
my opinion.

Before recording or playback, I hope you are remembering to delete
your .nv files from the nvram folder. This can affect some MCR and
NeoGeo games.
Just a thought...

QT, i can't playback your Magdrop2-smm score past the first level.
I also noticed that it plays back differently bad (it doesn't even
playback the credit button being pressed) if I remove my magdrop2.nv
file. Is anyone else able to play QT's recent magdrop2 recording?

I haven't been able to playback ANY magdrop2 recording of Q.T.'s - I
bet this goes across the board for anyone who plays magdrop2 in
win36. I have uploaded a WIN35 recording that DOES playback in WIN35
(but not DOS35) - so PLEASE record in MAME32 version 35 - I(and
probably Skito) will make sure you are rewarded nicely!

I just made a perfectly fine magdrop2 recording with win36 and
dos37b1, you just have to remove the nv files BEFORE recording, and
sometimes BEFORE playback as well. QT, hope you're going to make
some more playbackable recordings soon

Sorry. My nvram file is indeed affecting playback (Damn, that's
probably what did it for Magical Drop 3-MJ as well) I will re-upload
my Magical Drop 2 scores with the .nv file included, so people can use
it for playback.
