That being said, your channel and cabs are really cool! I've run out of time today, but I'll give this a look with the latest release when I arrive home from work tomorrow if no-one beats me to it first.

The way to bypass this issue is to bind a button on your cabinet to F6, and then when you clear the round, toggle the cheats off. This will allow the game to advance to the next level. Then as the next level begins, toggle the cheats back on. There is a small popup message when you press the button. This toggle function will not reset the cheats you have chosen at the beginning of the session, so you won't need to pause the game or open the TAB menu.
