I can´t get any of the first or second places of Ikari and the clones to playback.. with or without sound, in dos or in windows version..
Anyone who knows if they used any other changes in they recordings?

<p>

I can't get any of them to playback either sound or no sound, I even
tried multipl versions with the confirmed ikari recording at m35b5
and nothing. One thing that's good is that there is no nvram file
created so we don't have to worry about that adding to the playback
problems.

<p>

I'm going to submit this game and clones be banned unless someone can
figure some resolutions to the playback problems.

hmm strange.. Have you tried my recordings too Chad?
<p>

maybe they don´t playback in certain versions of Mame.. could it be
that they have changes the romset since the mam35 recordings was made?

<p>

I remember something about changing the emulated sound in Ikari..

<p>

Please try my recordings too.

<p>

I was able to playback the QRS recording quite happily as follows:
<p>

Frameskip 0
Sound = no
Used Mame32Beta9

<p>

I found I also had to keep it throttled rather than using F10 to
speed up the playback before it would work.

<p>

Will try the other two recordings for Ikari when time permits and
post my findings.

Strange again... I know I recorded it in Mame32 037b10
not in beta9.. well it plays back and that is great!

i wasn't able to play it back in win37b10 - were you able to QRS? if
you weren't able to play it back, why did you upload it?

<p>

I will try to play it back in win37b9, that would be nice if it does!
I'll report after i can get to back to my playback computer.

<p>

As for others i haven't been able to play anything back that i've
tried in the versions they were recorded at, i did try m35b4 and m35b6
for the m35b5 ikari recording though and no dice.

For the simple reason that I didn´t check my file before uploaded
it..But I do that now. I have no reason to upload anything that don´t
work. and for the winb10 or winb9 I have no idea.. I have NOT
recorded it with beta9 that´s for sure..

<p>

darn, trying mame3237b9 i qrs's recordings would most still die
before getting to the first water... keeping frameskip0 "Draw Every
Frame" set and using no F10 throttling... I've had mixed success
with multiple runs with the same slow speed playback settings.
Sometimes it would actually get passed the bridge but would never get
passed 100k. Can anyone who can get these recordings to playback
tell me if their settings match mine in the "default Options" mame32
menu? And more importantly can you playback the recording twice in a
row to the score posted?

<p>

My mame32 settings: Sound tab, No Sound, 22050 greyed, FM synthesis,
Stero, Use samples still checked. Controllers Tab, Use joystick Not
checked, HotRodSE, Use mouse/trackball, Direct Input Joystick and
keybord checked. Advanced Tab, Draw everyfram selected, Draw Only
changes chcked, Double display size not checked. Miscelaneous Tab,
Use background artwork checked, and Auto-pause checked, others NOT
checked including Disable MMX. Display Tab, I've got Full screen
display checked, and triple buffer not checked.

My mame32 settings that are different to yours are as follows. Also,
I have now successfully played this back another couple of times but
here's the interesting point. 1st time fails. 2nd time works. 3rd
time fails. 4th time works.

<p>

ie: For some reason it works every 2nd time and also irrespective of
whether or not I have throttling enabled.

<p>

Now for the differences between my Mame32 setup and yours:

<p>

Sound tab:
FM synthesis unchecked otherwise same as yours.

<p>

Controllers Tab:
Default input layout=standard
Direct Input Joystick is greyed as well as checked

<p>

Advanced Tab:
Use Direct Draw is also checked and greyed as well
Double display size checked
Horizontal scan lines checked

<p>

Miscelaneous Tab:
Disable MMX is checked on my setup.

<p>

Display Tab:
Identical

<p>

Cheers,
BeeJay.

Very curious ... it playbacks 1/2 !
It's reminding me a similar case : mslug ; first time I playback bbh's
score in t5 it playbacked fine ; after that I never managed to
playback it again till the end (the input was losing sync at different
moments of the game) ; anybody already had the same problem ?

plamat@club-internet.fr

darn, again, i can get the qrs_248900_ikari to playback a little
differently every other time but i can't get it to playback
completely, even with bjs settings.

<p>

unfortunatley a recording that doesn't playback all the time is
considered one that doesn't playback reliably. It's up to Pat to
determine if these recordings stay or go.
