tried twice and played this back twice usign -fs0 -nothrottle and -fs11 on xp, wins 4 matches as advertised, wouldn't rule out the mame_rand on this one. Did phil use 65.1 or 65.2? I couldn't playback phils earlier utenis recording, this one happens to playback for me.

this is the same symptom we were having with puzzlop, it would work for some and not for others in pre amame65.1 (mames with out mame_rand fix). PHIL: try next recording in 66 (which i think has the random fix) or in alphamame65.2...

Looked through the Art & Magic driver, and sure enough, there are two instances of rand(). It would be useful for it to be tested, so if someone wishes to in a regular MAME build, here's what I did.

In src/drivers/artmagic.c:
Line 22: insert line #include "machine/random.h"
Line 158: change to prot_output[0] = mame_rand();
Line 248: change to prot_output[0] = mame_rand();
