I recorded two games today. They both don't seem to playback correctly. Space Tactics and Xenophobe.

I've already submitted xenophobe (I should have played it back first), should we be able to submit inp files if they do not play back correctly?

The script doesn't check to make sure that the recording plays back, but you should do! I don't know what the problem is with the 2 games you mentioned - I don't manage to keep up with what works and what doesn't, but you shouldn't upload recordings which don't work...

In the past, some games have been known not to make good recordings, and people have tended to include a screenshot or two of the final score to show that the score is for real, but this is the MAME *Action Replay* Page, so the replay really should be what is important!

I fixed my xenophobe submission. It should hopefully play back correctly. :)
