    |   No.16137 Robbbert Moderator Feb 12, 2019, 23:33 | The problem becomes more obvious if you run kof2001 then mslug3 - it will crash, revealing the fact that the decryption routines for kof2001 are still in effect. Strangely, the problem doesn't occur when using MAMEUI or ARCADE - only when using MAME's inbuilt UI or the Tab menu. |

|   No.23645 M.A.S.H. Senior Tester Sep 6, 2025, 17:34 | Has anyone found out what this strange error is? Start with: mame kof2001 After "Loading Complete" Press Menu - "Select New System" Type kof2002 + ENTER "Select System BIOS" + ENTER MAME only shows crap... |

Probably this commit: https://github.com/mamedev/mame/commit/b193e05cd7c8456a2648d43854645da84f56ddbd I suspect MAME remembers the slot device option since it thinks it's loading the same romset (neogeo in this case, which is actually a BIOS set). | 
|   No.23661 cuavas Administrator Sep 8, 2025, 02:51 | Yes, I know exactly what causes it. It’s because there’s no way to “peel off” a layer of options. It’s the same thing that causes BIOS settings to leak across sessions, etc. The options system needs another rewrite. |
