Summary MESS-specific 07810: snes: (Possible) hash file issue
Description I don't know if it's my mistake or a MAME issue.
When I add a snes set in the hash file, the game doesn't run automatically

I don't have this kind of situation with others System Software (like "megadriv" for instance).
Steps To Reproduce I have a custom snes hash file (see attached printscreen or Additional Information tag), which have only 2 sets (an official MAME snes set "ssriders" and an homebrew set "test").
The hash files are in a directory named "hash2".
If I try to run the "ssriders" set, whith this command line:
mame64 -rompath "C:\m226\roms"; -hashpath "C:\m226\hash2" snes ssriders
The game starts and runs with no problem.

When I try to run the "test" game, with the same command line:
mame64 -rompath "C:\m226\roms"; -hashpath "C:\m226\hash2" snes test
The game doesn't run. No errors appears, only a black screen.

It only runs if I add the media parameter, like this:
mame64 -rompath "C:\m226\roms"; -hashpath "C:\m226\hash2" snes -cart "C:\roms\test.zip"

MAME can definitely run SNES cartridges from the software list. You must have something wrong in how you’ve added it.
