It's a MAME issue, where for whatever reason, it doesn't care about INP file extensions. Renaming the file is fine, and you can always just add the .inp to the -playback switch.
Not sure if it's a bug or just another intentional ploy to annoy the rest of us.

I forget where but I read that the dev team dropped the extension in 0.110. I don't understand the logic behind it(to save a few bytes in the code?!?).
i think it was a mistake to drop the default inp extension but i believe the logic behind it is that you can now make recordings called recording.txt or "recording" instead of recording.inp.
I'd really love to see just what their reasoning behind this is... X-MAME used to do this ('nix systems don't generally rely on file extensions to tell file type), but was added quite some time ago.
Seeing as MAMEdev quite openly admit to not caring about what the end users think, I don't see much that can be done. Short of someone writing their own arcade emulator for us, that is...
Meanwhile we're waiting to see how huge laserdisk videos will be for MAME and how long time will it take to download...
It would be frickin' awesome to play Firefox finally. It's been many many years.
Looking at TG settings for Dragon's lair, they say 3 or 5men at default settings. I thought there was an entry for hardest difficulty. Game should be competed at hardest +continue after one round. Otherwise game is too easy.
