Summary	02163: profpac: Professor Pacman not multisession friendly
Description	If the user quits out of a game of profpac in progress and then tries to re-launch it yields a black screen or actually continues the game from where it left off as if it was doing an autosavestate.
Steps To Reproduce	1. Kill \cfg\profpac.cfg and \nvram\profpac.nv 2. Launch game. 3. Coin up and start the game. 4. Hit tab, choose new game and select profpac again. 5. Expect it to restart but it just continues where it left off. 6. Quit all the way out and then launch profpac again. 7. Black screen. That's the core way to do it, you can also just relaunch the game in MameUI.

If you quit when it's on the startup bank (startup test, attract mode) it works fine, but not if you reset in-game when it's bankswitched to the question ROMs. Resetting with F3 causes the bank to reset, but a hard reset won't do it for some reason.
