Plays back for me to around 9.7M (6th island I think) with or without sound, using MAME 0.59 (Win32 console or Linux with ASM 68K). Anyone else have better luck?

No luck here. Using standard issue (Win 32 bit console) MAME 0.59 under Win2000 I get perfect playback to 8.3 Million Stage 20 at the Spider Boss after which it desynch's. Damn I wish the recording function in MAME was more reliable, it's a crying shame to see a great inp like this one cut down in its prime.

Latest one doesn't work either. Stops at the round 20 boss, although it really lost sync a long time before that (failing to setup 10s and 100s digits constantly when it was clearly attempted).

I haven't heard of an attempt in DOS MAME - anybody try that version?

Could be, as that's what essekappa normally uses. It's just that that hasn't been a problem before.

Oh well, I guess that's how Joey got it to playback then. Right, Joey?

Yea. I hate DOS MAME though. I cannot play any games with sound on with DOS MAME because it makes the game go in ranges of 90%-135% on frameskip 0. Maybe because my sound card? My processor? I don't know...

Sound card drivers most likely, I have had the same problem since 'upgrading' my sound drivers.

played the 86 mill recording back with out fault using sound dosmame and mame.cfg looking like this not that it matters since i played it back on the first attempt but previous ddr recordings needed special opls.

ym2203opl = yes
ym3812opl = no
oplfm = no

Anyone tried vdmsound? I hear it will do sb16 emulation fairly well so maybe it'll make dos mame work in xp? heh pigs maybe can fly, i'm going to try it this weekend not before backing up...

Using DMAME.EXE (with sound) works fine for me too. The recording plays back in full.

It should, but remember that you can't use VESA modes with DOS apps either under WinNT/2k/XP. I don't know about ModeX modes either (in earlier versions, before 8-bit modes were removed)
