To resolve this issue all you have to do is push turbo until you get to the demo game. after you see a lil bit of the demo game you can then put in credits and play.

I added a video to show the difference between this issue and 06522.

I do wonder if it's connected to
http://mametesters.org/view.php?id=4504

because I can't see the game really being too happy if it thinks all the settings are 'invalid' and can't reset them or save them, so while the 'wait a while in demo mode' might act as a workaround (probably because some game state gets initialized by the demo?) I think this is actually a rather serious bug.

This can be changed to resolved. Apparently, it was quietly fixed a while back and certainly not an issue in the current MAME.

I believe that 06522 was also fixed in one of the more recent updates. I'll play a little more to be sure and post back on that report.

Thanks for the heads-up. I'm not seeing these issues on my end either.
