MAME 0.240
As lunar new year draws near and we approach a quarter of a century since Nicola Salmoria released MAME to the public, it’s time for MAME 0.240 – the first release of the 2022 calendar year. Wait, what was that? A quarter of a century? Yes, on 5 February, it will be twenty-five years since MAME 0.1 was released, supporting just five Z80-based games. MAME is coming up to its silver jubilee! And what a long way we’ve come…
This month, we’ve added support for dozens more versions of the Igrosoft five-reel slot machines. But buried in there are the remaining versions of Nintendo Game & Watch series games (rare versions of Helmet, Judge and Mario’s Cement Factory), two more Elektronika games based on Nintendo programs, a German version of Exidy’s Mouse Trap, and the incredibly rare Mahjong Block Jongbou 2 from SNK.
In the software lists, there are a whole pile of recently dumped prototypes of console games, and some homebrew titles for the Bandai RX-78. That’s on top of the steady stream of Apple II floppies, Commodore 64 cassettes, FM Towns CDs, and newly supported NES and Famicom cartridges. Building on the work last month, the CD-i has received a few more fixes that improve performance and add support for more discs.
You can read about everything we’ve been busy with all month in the whatsnew.txt file, or get the source and 64-bit Windows binary packages from the download page.

In all honesty I think Cosmic Guerilla is just a bad dump.
The way it's been made to not crash simply looks like a patch to patch out bitrot in the ROMs, the 'Inder' set never had the bug.
It has been said that the ROM in question has been found on more than one board, but given how rare such boards are these days it's possible the same bit-rotten board was dumped twice IMHO, or a repair job was attempted with a bad ROM from the MAME set.
