Can't repo here.

Both sets load, credit up and play using both 32-bit and 64-bit official binaries.

Hmm, on my laptop it crashes only MAMEUI versions (plain MAME works fine) so perhaps not important. Sorry for the unnecessary report.

I'm getting no repro on command line 32 or 64-bit of 0.155 from MAMEDEV. I tried the one UI that was build at MAMEWORLD and it is a strange make your application system vanish type issue.
It didn't happen with MAMEUI64 'official' release from mameui.info. Appears to be 32-bit specific and UI specific for whatever reason.

Perhaps use MAMEUIFX's forum and see if MAMESICK can figure out what is going on.
Closing. Unable to reproduce.

Crashes on my 32-bit debug build on the command line.

Tracked down to the video section, the definition of "rom" pointer variable is passed from one routine to another but sometimes it crashes when referenced, sometimes not. I made a local fix to prove the point.

Since this report has been closed I won't pursue the matter.

Confirmed but randomly on command-line 32-bit from mamedev.org. I don't see anything related to UI code (MAMEUI, MAMEUIFX and so on). Fine here with my self-compiled 64-bit build....

Committed a fix that works for me.

Given the erratic nature of this bug, if it doesn't work for you then reopen this bug report.
