I've noticed some quirks in how INP files are handled by the new TMS34010 games (Smash TV, Total Carnage, Trog, etc.), and thought I would share my findings with everyone.
- INP's made in Dos Mame with sound enabled do not playback properly.
- INP's made in Dos, with sound off will playback properly under both Dos Mame & Mame32 (with sound off).
- INP's made in Mame32 with sound (on or off) playback fine, only in Mame32 (with sound in same state).
- INP's made in VMame, with sound off, will playback properly under both Dos Mame & Mame32 (with sound off), this learned from BBH's comments on his latest Smash TV upload.
I know that there are several other games (or emulated chipsets) that have their own quirks, perhaps all of these known problems should be documented somewhere within MARP. This would help guide the new recruits with their playback difficulties, as well as serve as a reference site to the Mame team to identify inconsistencies (if they were interested, of course).
