Shouldn't running a bench disable artwork by default? I'm running a bench in the hopes of grabbing a 7950x3d this weekend to complete my new build, but during the bench, I keep getting warnings about deprecated bezel elements and such...
Don't care about correcting the errors just yet, but it concerns me that this shows up during a bench...
Also, mame creates an .ini file with the bench settings! So after running "mame dkong -bench 90", the next time I feel like playing dkong, the darn thing just runs a 90 second bench instead of launching the game! Please tell me this is a bug and not expected behavior...

The -bench only issues that certain combination of commands (-str xx -video none -sound none -nothrottle) and does not influence other settings (such as -artpath). It is up to the user to decide what settings to disable or change. I'd suggest if you are looking a bare bones approach, simply add the -norc (noreadconfig) command-line trigger and then add something for -rompath or curate a special mame.ini with the specific settings you desire.

This does not happen with any version released by MAMEDEV by default. It would sound to me like your writeconfig is set to 1 in your INI file. Set this to 0 if you don't want to retain the last launch settings.

Yes, there was indeed a writeconfig 1 in the .ini. Thanks for the tips! But in the long term, I assume leaving it at 0 means any default settings that I need to change for games will never get saved, and it still seems odd that running -bench 90 would create a config with "seconds_to_run 90" in it, even with "write config 1" set. Other than running a benchmark, I can't imagine a single case where someone would want that setting by default.
