Which mame version did you use and on which platform? usually playback problems can be resolved by removing config files before you playback on certain versions. Also sometimes recordings only work when sound is turned off. neo-geo games are fairly notorious for saving state in config files, resulting in different players or computer moves in the first opponent. you might try removing memcard/memcard.* or nvram/kof96.nv or cfg/kof96.cfg before recording and before playback.(posted 9338 days ago)If that doesn't work (and you are using a current mame version like mame36) try downloading an older version (that someone has uploaded with and the recording was confirmed at.) you can get old versions from www.mame.net or here at marp in the dropdown menu in the header frame. It looks like there is a recording that was confirmed with mame35 for kof96.
