gregf,
I'm not sure what to say other than I exclusively use Windows XP, 32-bit for my platform and build almost daily .. I can play it (albeit at 30%) with the following caveats I mentioned in ball and paddle behavior.
Are you positive you don't have mis-assigned controls? Check the TAB menu and Input this game listing and compare. The mouse seems to work fine if I've defined that in my command line (-mouse), as well as the keyboard (player 1 and player 2 default left and right controls). Have you tried to enter a credit to start the game?
If you have no warnings coming up about bad CRC in rom, it should work fine. Otherwise, make sure you have the 0.147 updated netlist file (rom) for pong.zip
