Summary	06581: Various problems with software loading/unloading: Various problems with software loading
Description	These problems existed at the release of 0.185 INI files are set to writeconfig 1 (which means each system gets its own INI file). Fixed PR#2341 (yet to be applied) ~~1. Start with software loaded. Unload it. Do a hard reset. The software reloads itself - this is wrong.~~ ~~2. The option -cart "" is supposed to unload the cart, but it does nothing. The cart stays loaded.~~ ~~3. (tested with Sorcerer). Unable to unload a cart. It lets you empty the slot, but after exit you start it again and the cart has come back by itself.~~ Fixed MAME 0.186 4. (tested with Super6). This one has writeconfig of 0. Start with >mame super6 cpm22. It starts up as expected. The driver doesn't work yet, so the disk doesn't boot, so far so good. Now do a hard reset (Shift F3), and this happens: "super6:cpm22:flop" approximately matches the following supported software items (best match first): * Software list "super6" (ADC Super Six diskettes) matches: cpm22 CP/M 2.2 cpm22 CP/M 2.2 cpm22 CP/M 2.2 cpm22 CP/M 2.2 cpm22 CP/M 2.2 digi56 digi56 tdos122p TurboDOS v1.22p tdos122p TurboDOS v1.22p tdos122p TurboDOS v1.22p tdos122p TurboDOS v1.22p tdos122p TurboDOS v1.22p tdos14 TurboDOS v1.4 tdos14 TurboDOS v1.4 tdos14 TurboDOS v1.4 tdos14 TurboDOS v1.4 tdos14 TurboDOS v1.4 Fatal error: Device 5.25" quad density floppy drive load () failed: File not found The floppy gets ejected and the emulation fatal-errors. I'll add more bugs as I find them.

Number 1 and 3 appear to be the same cause/effect where the UI selection for "empty slot" is not honored and will run what was saved or loaded via command line instead, regardless of saved .ini or not - regression started in 0.184
Number 2 : Test done with default settings - command-line only
mame a2600 tunnelrn -writeconfig - to set tunnelrn as the cart to run when you start system
mame a2600 - verify that tunnelrn is started automatically
mame a2600 -cart "" - MAME starts out as you'd expect, looking to mount a cartridge and you are prompted with selection of a cart. 0.186 still has this issue

Both above issues appear to be fixed now in the refactor PR: https://github.com/mamedev/mame/pull/2341

Number 4 is indeed fixed as of MAME 0.186
