I remember Chris Parsley mentioning that we shouldn't use screenshots because this is a MAME Action Replay Page, not a screenshot page. I will concur with his opinion.

What do yall think - should we include screenshots with our tournament recordings, or shall we make screenshots optional?(we can't really prohibit them...)

either force them or don't require them. There seemed to be a convenience reason to need them before? If that reason doesn't exist anymore, don't require them.

I dont see the point of screenshots with inp files. Image files can be manipulated more easily than inp files. If a game can't be recorded and played back with a default configuration it should not be considered for a tournament. The recordings should play back the persons actual game so screen shots should be moot.

No need to include the screenshots, IMHO.

They're "included" in the .inp file, just as well as the .cfg file (that's why it's not required ...).

The recording, if it plays back, is the only real proof.
