I'm having problems playing backthe following games' input files.
Donpachi, DoDonpachi, ESP Ra.De., Strikers 1945 Plus and a few other vert shooters. Mainly, the game pulls off all of the correct motions, but at the wrong times, causing death, death, and, worse, a score of 9,000 in Donpachi. There isn't any NVRAM or .hi files present. Is it just a matter of how the game reacts to slowdown?

Just try playing back with no sound.

Although Strikers 1945 Plus and Donpachi SHOULD work...

But the Cave shooters (Dodonpachi, ESP Rade, Dungan Feveron, and Guwange) do have a serious problem with correct playback. It is fixed in AlphaMAME, but at the expense of losing some sound effects. Either that or do as SJK said, and record without sound.

I guess its possible old s1945p replays won't play back with the latest version, in .62 the game doesn't slow to a crawl everytime your shots hit something

Ah. I'm glad that finally happened. And since that did....I believe that the scores for the game should be cleared and given special rules (mame 62 + above only). The slow down made it a whole lot easier to get through bullet patterns.

Strikers 1945 Plus is actually the most accurate of the bunch, with ESP Ra.De running dead last... Surprisingly Mame .62b is worse than .61 in this aspect. But then again maybe my CPU just sucks....can't even run friggin Gunbird 2. -_-;

I fully agree with you Joey.
Let´s zero out the scores and allow only 62-> as version to upload with.
