You are correct, this recording may not playback for other players. And it is among the list of games that are noted not to playback when recorded in a certain version of mame (see the Games That do not play back thread.) This particular recording playbacks for somepeople (besides the recorder) and not playback for some people (including me and you.)(posted 9560 days ago)Even though this does playback for someone with m36b3 and doesn't playback for someone else, i too believe this recording should be banned. However if it was recorded with macmame and it playsback with macmame just fine, then it shouldn't be banned, even if 99 out of 100 people can't play it back with dosmame.
However, there has only been a ban vote for specific games that don't playback (ALL of which have been voted on to BAN if the inps don't play back), there hasn't been a vote for banning any recording that doesn't playback reguardless of which game it's from.
It's been said many times, this is a mame "action" replay site, and not a "post your high score screen shot if the inp doesn't" play back site.
Perhaps a vote should be posted for the general banning of inps that do not playback with the same options/version to record.
Is i.am a real site?
