Description
Summary
Cart Fury doesn't boot, at the Initializing screen it's stuck at the CMOS part, after a while, it resets with the same cycle.
All the DIP Switches were put by default, none was changed and done from a fresh new SaveRam.
This doesn't happen in the original MAME emulator, it boots just fine.
EXTRA NOTE: Even if i go to the service menu having the test switch enabled, change some settings then reset, doesn't seem to save.
Repro
- Have the ROM and CHD ready into an .xml file since it requires first the rom then the CHD file to run.
- Let it load, it might take a while.
- Wait for the game to initialize but then will get stuck at the CMOS part.
- After a few seconds, the game resets.
- Repeats the same cycle.
Host env.
- BizHawk 2.9.2 dev build at 97d9ce3; Win10 Pro 22H2; NVIDIA

Research direction
Start by reproducing Cart Fury in BizHawk 2.9.2 dev build with the ROM and CHD in an XML file, using fresh SaveRam and default DIP switches. Compare its CMOS initialization and reset cycle with the original MAME emulator, then check whether service-menu settings persist after reset. Done when the game boots normally and settings save as expected.
