This 'improved' Record.bat file is great :) (I added -video ddraw and -window)
To make it foolproof, maybe give user a written feedback if the game/rom is not complete..: I had an incorrect rom for dkong3 and the new Record.bat will just blink black and close quickly //"What happend?"// c",)

Another reason why you should run it from a command prompt, otherwise you miss out what can be rather useful information.

playback.bat works exactly the same as record.bat does (expect that it plays back the INP, instead of recording one obviously :))

Good to see/hear. :)

You could add a new line at the bottom of the file which reads:

pause

That will stop the black window closing so you can see the information from MAME.

Oh, I also discovered that CTRL+C doesn't stop the batch file like it says it should. Mea culpa. :(
