Summary 01470: -record and -playback functions are not working in MAME 0.123 (and MAMEUI 0.123)
Description If you specify a game to have it's input recorded, the recorded input file is generated as expected.

If you new start MAME and specify -playback <name of file>, you are given a requester stating that:

Input file is for game <some random chars>, not for current game <name of game you want>.

When tested with spinmast, I received:

Input file is for game 't', not for current game 'spinmast'

When tested with 1942, I received:

Input file is for game '', not for current game '1942'
Steps To Reproduce In MAME:

mame spinmast -record spinmast

upon exiting the game:

mame spinmast -playback spinmast


In MAMEUI:
Select:
File -> "Play and Record Input..."
<enter filename for inputfile>

Play game. Upon exiting, select

File -> "Playback Input..."
<select your recorded input for this game>
Additional Information I have attached both recorded files for spinmast and 1942 in a rar.

Please, only report bugs with the latest U version, especially for major bugs like this. Most of the time, major problems within a main release are often fixed in the first update after.

If you cannot compile one, there are a couple links to MAME in the RULES link above in case you cannot compile your own updates.

This was fixed before a bug report could even be made, so you might not have seen discussion about it. Needless to say, it's fixed from 0.123u1 onward. We do appreciate the effort you put into the report, however. Thanks.
