Summary 01499: Various Drivers: Launching games from in-game [TAB] menu 2-3 times in a row throws access violation.
Description Looks like you can only start 2 to 3 games in a row from the [TAB] UI before you get an access violation. More easily seen in MameUI but repro’d from commandline. 32bit or 64bit.

Tafoid: I was not able to duplicate unless I had the -MT command line switch active. Even then it was not 100%, but crashes almost all the time after 2-3 tries as described. 32-Bit Build.
Steps To Reproduce 1. launch 'mame.exe dkong'
2. Go to [TAB] menu.
3. Select new game
4. Choose whatever random game appears first.
5. Will either access violate at this point or again if you repeat steps 2-4.

 The conbination of games, that cause crashes are definitely necessary. Without those it is not possible to properly look into these issues.

I am able to reproduce a crash everytime with choosing "numanatj" after running "dkong" in 32-bit debug build without the "-mt" switch:
