This is actually already known, from https://github.com/mamedev/mame/issues/12483.

However, Mametesters is the best place for this report, so I'll ask the devs to close the issue.

The notes from the issue:

Osso said: Confirmed, regression version seems to be 0.254
Suspect commit: https://git.redump.net/mame/commit/?id=c0b57d30f0ce39c445190fe4e27bec6c57ebb137

Kale said: Reset isn't caused by watchdog, but rather an intentional snippet where it expects:

3C80: cp $95 ; from $8063 RAM buffer
3C82: jp nz,$0000
0000: ld a,$10
0002: ld ($7100),a

Game eventually boots anyway (at least by speeding emu up here), but somehow this is 0x05 the first time around.

OK Robbbert, I didn't check MAMEDev's GitHub because honestly, never thought to search there first. I always had MAMETesters in mind for bug reporting ;)

Hi,
I would like to add the following observation to the bug description:
If the file "sxevious.hi" does not exist in hiscore folder, sxevious reboots three to four times.
If the file exists, only a single reboot occurs.
