Summary 09405: salamand and clones: Restart the game, the title screen doesn't appear.
Description Restart the game by pressing the F3 key while it is running and proceed, the screen will remain black at the title screen and will not proceed.
It does react to coin insertion, so it may be a little different from freezing.

Only Lifeforce (Japan) shows an error in the RAM on the ROM check screen.

Confirmed. The attract mode will go erratic graphically for a while after F3 is pressed, then the bug happens.

Soft reset bugs in MAME (by pressing F3) might not caused by emulation bugs, but because the game never accounted for it, like an IRQ at the same time as reset, or RAM not cleared to 0.

Anyway, in this case it was due to missing interrupt clear. According to Nemesis schematics, disabling irqs clears them, and this also fixed the soft reset issues in this driver. I'll leave the duplicate closed bug reports alone and set this to resolved.
