it's difficult to say.. some games DO have recording problems we know that.

inps will become incompatible as MAME gets updated simply because of subtle timing changes and the like (amongst other things) but if you're using 0.151, and the inp was recorded in 0.151 you should be ok..

32-bit vs 64-bit can be important, sometimes platform can be too, things like sound / no sound shouldn't matter in current versions. sometimes people record with annoying hacked builds of MAME which could easily break things too.

ensuring there's no nvram when you record / playback is as important as ever, but I don't believe this game uses any.

unfortunately it's pretty much impossible for us to say exactly what's wrong, it's basically a case of it either works or it doesn't, surprisingly this inp still actually plays up until stage 2 even in a current version, but does again die there.
