Chad,(posted 9661 days ago)Two things to be aware of:
1) You should drop the .inp extension when attempting the playback. 2) Back in the good old days of Mame030 the /inp directory did not exist. 3) Mame does not handle long filenames for the inp files.
To get the playback to work under Mame030b do the following:
1) Unzip the inp file and rename it dowild.inp (you've already done this part of course). 2) Move dowild.inp into your root /mame directory where mame030b is located. 3) Use a command line as follows: mame030b dowild -playback dowild (Adjust as necessary for your mame030b executable name.)
Now I don't know why I helped you out because now you'll also watch Dith's technique for improving his score and hopefully improve your tournament technique...... ;-)
