Got the same problem here too some time ago.Need to be specified from TJT:
-the exact frameskip used
-the analog settings
-the sound volume balancements used(i.e if the ones in the on-screen options (\) are changed in any way)
And BTW Atari is always a black beast on playbacking .inps(Rampart , APB,Tetris, Klax ecc...)

Like Kale says you're always going to have problems when playing back these Atari games. I remember the hassle I had trying to find a way to record my apb games. Changing the frameskip just made it worse and recording without sound won't let you insert a coin. In the end I got it to work using an old mame32, why it worked I dont know??

Don't be so hasty with your deleting! Why do you delete my recordings without waiting my response, come on, I haven't checked marp at Saturday or Sunday, and find my recordings deleted already.
I have playbacked those two recordings at my home computer previously, and I'm 100% they playback just fine.
Where can I find find now my recordings of 210k and 209k, since skito deleted them? What about DESCRIPTION?...what description did I have, there must have been some info for playback.
I would like those two recordings to be downloadable little longer for other people to try out + I WOULD VERY MUCH WANT TO TRY PLAYBACK THEM MYSELF TO SEE WHICH WERE THE SETTINGS I USED.
I believe I have them saved at my home computer just in case. Gotta check them out tonight.
What I can remember right now, is the fact that I was playing under win98, and booting my computer to "PURE" DOS, had sound on. Can't remember frameskip or -sr options without my original description though.
You should be able to boot into dos, and have a dos-working soundcard and ps/2 mouse.
I used ps/2 hacked spinner for the game, with acceleration ratio set to 1:1
by using ch-products trackball pro DOS driver files. That could be a problem for playback, but I doubt it, because everyone have different mouse sensitivity settings at Windows-mame-and recordings playback fine
nevertheless. Plus I've used same hard-/software for my previously confirmed Zektor-recording.

Yes, and I believe there was a screenshot also.

Have you tried the above links? If ZTNet will allow it, they should still work. MARP never deletes the zips.

What about DESCRIPTION?...what description did I have, there must have been some info for playback.
I think it was "play music loud" or something like that

sorry, the fault is all yours tommi. Playback faults are only zereoed NOT deleted. the only reason they appear deleted is you had another recordings that were of medium score
http://marp.retrogames.com/inp/tjt_720b ... mame35.zip
http://marp.retrogames.com/inp/tjt_720_ ... mame35.zip
I've edited this earlier recording (as you could have done) to see your zeroed score on 720. And I'm sorry again: marp isn't a personal repository. Marp is for everyone to see recordings, if they don't playback for others with settings specified they don't belong here.
but i would like to hear the settings that you supposedly mentioned to get these to playback: but they sure aren't in either of your uploaded 4 descriptions. the only description was from the tjt_720 200k recording:
Playback advice: Turn volume loud!
that of course doesn't help playbacking
That warning you get is from ztnet from time to time linking from marpirc, to get around it cut and paste the url into a new browser and you can download your old recording.

I tried playbacking those couple 210k recordings of mine, playsback perfectly as I remembered.
Playbacked 720a.inp with booting my machine to dos, simply writing:
mame 720 -playback 720a, chose soundcard as 1,
Other one 720b.inp I playbacked at dosprompt, same options.
Didn't first playback, but when I deleted 720B.NV and 720.CFG, worked fine.
----
So maybe you should leave nvram-folder there, and simply delete 720.nv and 720.cfg + Use mame36final DOS! Does not playback at windows-version. You also have to have a soundcard working in dos, and maybe win98 would help.
Who has tried to playback those using m36f-dos, win98, deleting cfg and nv-files????
This shouldn't have any impact, but here are my cfg-files, forgot mame.cfg though.

yes, these are all rules we all use when playing back inps, at least for me that's exactally how i played it back and it failed. my script removes the cfg and nvrams always on the first try. I leave my nvram directory existing but remove the files. your version didn't say win36 it said mame36 which means the dos version so there's not confusion there.
Tell me again how the 720.cfg file will help when you only got it to playback when removing it?
please include mame.cfg since all of what you currently provide has been tried before.
