Dang, I tried playing this inp back and couldn't get the 1st hole to play right. I tried playing with all the bios versions I have. What bios version did this play for you?

How do you find these things anyway?

Per the globabl MAME platform submission rules, the default BIOS should be used:

Are you asking me or Bogart? If me, what "things" do you mean?

The INPs which don't play back properly.

The recent disputes I've opened are a mostly random selection of MAME subs that have been approved recently - I've looked at some that have been fine of course, as well, but the fact I stumbled upon so many bad ones while barely even trying is not a great sign.

How many versions of MAME do you have on your computer? I'd think you'd need a lot of them to be able to play back all those INPs.

Currently, I have 68 versions of WolfMAME set up on my computer.

I was asking because when I first recorded my play in this game, I was unable to play it back and the playback on this looks very similar, where the player inputs don't match what's on the screen. When I use the "-playback" feature in wolfmame, for this game, I have to select the Bios version from a long list of versions before the playback actually starts. I tried every version and nothing played correctly. I then downloaded every NeoGeo file I could get my hands on until it finally played properly, which took a couple hours at least. I forgot which Bios version I was missing for playback, because now when I record it's using Bios Europe MVS Ver. 2, which is different than whatever it was using before I downloaded that Bios. Now that I have that Bios, playback is a non-issue. All this when I never changed any Bios setting (don't know how) so I was clearly using the default, and I also had nvram turned off. I'm not sure what all this means and it's pretty confusing to me, but I just wanted to mention that I have seen this playback problem before on this exact game and was able to resolve it by downloading additional bios versions.

Are you using the GUI? I know that when recording that way, you have the option of selecting different BIOS versions, which as mentioned before, would invalidate the sub for TG's purposes. In playing MAME for over 5 years, I've never had to download or even mess with BIOS files - I record via the command line, and have never had an issue. As a test, I just recorded a test .inp for this game in version 0.183, and it played back fine as well.

Long story short, if you have to do anything other than download an .inp and put it in your MAME directory to play it back, 99% of the time the submitter did something they shouldn't have done before recording.
