re: Are INP's legit?

I don't disagree with you that INP files allow the ability to conceal low-frame-rate cheaters. Unfortunately, there is just no easy way for MARP'ers to confirm this (yet, anyway).

However, it does sound like there may be some changes being made in the INP file system, as INP compatibility was completely lost between MAMEv34 and MAMEv35b1 due to changes (this was probably due to the changes in the CFG file system).

Maybe Zwaxy can persuade someone on the MAME team to look into AVG FPS logging into the INP file.

The way I see it, AVG FPS is already calculated by MAME (as can be seen when exiting the program). I would think that this information could be tacked onto the end of all INP files that are recorded.
