This is the movie in question: https://www.dropbox.com/s/76chh95qzb16wsa/daimakaifile.inp?dl=0 The game is Daimakaimura (rom name = daimakai). I made the movie with the official MAME 0.162. It used to sync from beginning to end, but now it goes out of sync right after I pick the magical weapon at the end of stage 5 (2nd loop). I even uploaded the synced movie to my channel while it was still syncing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3UoltbwQ3A What happened to the movie? It used to work perfectly. How can I make it work again?

Well, if anyone was wondering why this isn't an approved emulator

Gamer Maiden Sonia is talking about the non-RR MAME, which is not approved probably because it doesn't have any TASing functionality in it. :P @Gamer Maiden Sonia: Do you remember what could have changed since it used to sync? Maybe the file got corrupted, your ROM changed, your MAME version changed, etc. I used to run some 20 year old input files and they never suddenly stopped syncing on their corresponding MAME versions.
You're just fucking stupid, everyone hates you, sorry to tell you the truth. no one likes you, you're someone pretentious and TASes only to be on speed game, but don't have any hope, you won't get there.

well... I'm pretty certain I haven't changed anything. I'm using the same MAME version, the same ROM and the same .inp file as before. I never really opened the .inp file and changed anything inside of it so I dunno what's happening. Can you test the .inp in your end? Please tell me if it will desync for you too.

I can't, sorry. Very busy and lazy. Try running it on another computer or virtual machine if you really need it.

It's fine, I came with a solution. I simply put the movie to playback while recording a new movie at the same time. I played the movie until the point of desync and then remade the movie from that point and onwards. I only needed to beat two bosses to clear the game anyway, so now I have a fully working movie again. ^^
