Operation Wolf, Gunbird, playback?

Operation Wolf: Does playback work? I can't even playback my own recordings, game says "tilt" :), and something else that I don't remember right now.
I removed nvram-folder before recording, tried sound on/off, removing cfg-file.

<p>

Gunbird: Has anyone succeeded playing VAZ's recording(not confirmed)? It playsback couple of first enemies for me, then starts the "shooting of ghosts".
The interesting part is that enemies and backround are different than normally! Is there a secret code or something I've missed, VAZ?

<p>

Also I've played few games using 37b10, and sometimes game doesn't advance and sometimes you can't use any bombs. Do you have same problems?

<p>

I tried playing back ufox's Operation Wolf recording a couple days
ago, and got the same "TILT" and "C-CHIP NOT RESPONSE!" message it
gave you... I mailed him to see if he knew any way to play it back but
have gotten no response, I guess no .inp's can bypass that part right
now.

<p>

As for Gunbird, I just downloaded the top 3 recordings that are up.
None of them work. I tried recording a game on m37b11 and then played
it back... amazingly it got to the 2nd level boss, where it lost sync
(the other recordings crashed on the 1st level). We might need to wipe
the scores on these and possibly Sengoku Ace (another Psikyo shooter,
haven't taken a look at the recordings there yet) and add them to the
non-playbackable games list until further notice.

Ok here's what i found on Operation Wolf after a bit of "research"
hehe. Playbacks on this game only work if you record them with Gun
Target Off (hit "TAB/Dip Switches/Show Gun Target: Off" prior to
recording). That renders the game much more difficult because you
actually don't see where you're aiming at until you fire the guns.
That also renders my submission useless lol. Feel free to delete
BBH! :)

Tommi, try slowing the game down running MAME together with WinAmp or
inserting a CD into your D: drive; hope this helps ;-)

Since I believe you are suggesting a playback method that was similar
to how you recorded it, i have to ask:

<p>

Vaz, how slow do you need to play these games? Operation Wolf is
already pretty cpu intensive. Why do you play winamp or a CD at the
same time on the same computer? There are portable mp3 cd players or
cd players out there for cheap...

1. Sengoku Ace and Gunbird already run slow without WinAmp or CDs, so
I don't
need further slowdowns.

<p>

2. I have one PC only, sorry.

<p>

3. MP3 portable players are still expensive here in Italy.

<p>

4. I haven't downloaded the latest beta, so I can't play Operation
Wolf (indeed, I haven't submitted a score for that game, yet).
