| Summary |
 06531: a2600, a7800, coleco, genesis, nes, snes: Selecting a new ROM file through the internal UI for consoles via external path is broken |
||||
| Description | Selecting a new ROM file through the internal UI for a console with a ROM already loaded, after running the same console from Command Line referencing an external ROM path, results in MAME not loading the new ROM file; rather, MAME retains the ROM that was loaded previously for that console. Systems tested: a7800, nes, coleco, a2600, snes, genesis. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce |
Step 1: Launch MAME from command line specifying a console system and a ROM file from an external path... IE: mame.exe a7800 -cart "C:\Console ROMS\Atari 7800\Color Selector Demo (2003) (PD).a78" mame.exe nes -cart "C:\Console ROMS\NES\Loopy Color Demo.nes" mame.exe coleco -cart "C:\Console ROMS\ColecoVision\Carnival (1982)(Coleco).col" mame.exe a2600 -cart "C:\Console ROMS\Atari 2600\Color Test (26-09-2002) (Eckhard Stolberg).bin" Step 2: Bring up the internal UI by pressing the 'Tab' key. Step 3: Select "File Manager", select "cartridge (cart) XXXXXXXxxxx", then from that same external path of the folder containing the console's ROM file that was loaded from Command Line, select a ROM different from the one currently loaded and running. Result: MAME restarts the console; however, it loads and runs the ROM previously/originally loaded from Command Line and not the new one selected through the Internal UI. |

Same result also happens when softlist loading. |

Taking a look at this; this is almost certainly related to the softlist refactoring that happened during the MAME 0.184 dev cycle |
