Up to 0.261 it worked as follows:
select CD-ROM as Start Up Media in the DIP switches menu
in file manager select the install CD
soft reset
the game would install
switch back to runtime CD
select Flash ROM as Start Up Media in the DIP switches menu
soft reset
the game would start

From 0.262 on in file manager you can't select the install CD. It finds it, you can select it but it doesn't stick.

In the 0.262 release cycle there was some work done in src/frontend/mame/ui/filemngr.cpp that may or may not be related to the regression.

reinserting

reset(reset_options::REMEMBER_POSITION);

at line 269 of filemngr.cpp fixes MAME ignoring the selection of the install CD.

The menu not showing the change is a UI issue – the image device isn’t notifying subscribers when you change the preset image. It’s still changing the media image, the menu just isn’t updating to reflect it. Note that if you back out of that menu and then choose “File Manager” from the main menu again, the menu item will update.

That part is fixed by 76a0dde560bd73cf59889d48dde7ce23fe1a0762

Whatever is causing the system to fail to recognise the security cartridge is a separate issue.

Did you confirm that the failure to recognise the security cartridge started in 0.262, or did you just assume it started then because of the UI issue?

Actually, it works in MAME 0.285. You can install the game if you flip the DIP switch, swap in the installation CD, reset the system and hit the test button. The UI issue is annoying (and the lack of notifications may also break some Lua scripts), but it doesn’t break the game.

This is what happens when you boot before installing the game.

Still doesn't work with latest git.

I set the dip to boot off CD-ROM, and selected the install CD.

There is no "test button" in the inputs list. If you mean F2 or 9, they don't do anything.

Reopening so that someone can fix it properly.

It works. Select the install CD, set bit to CD-ROM , and soft reset. It will prompt you to press the test switch (aF2 by default) to install. Wait for it to install. Then swap the CD and DIP switch back and reset again.

Still not working. After a reset, the CD goes back to runtime by itself.

Ah, ok, if I select "install", then do not reset, but then just press F3, only then did it do something different.

Definitely need to add this to my documentation, it isn't something that the average user will ever guess.
