I believe this was fixed as well, I don't have a mame close by, but i remember the older mames gave you 3 lives and the newer mame gives you 2 lives. I.e. older mame shows you have "2" lives left and newer mame shows you have "1" life left.(posted 9169 days ago)I think if you start the game with 1 life left this is ok? let us know if there are any recordings that are not of the same settings as the current default of the latest mame.
