That works fine for me here in 0.146u4. Make sure you delete any old nvram file in the nvram\sgsafari folder before trying again. Also, the page might show capitol letter and you might be thinking to hold SHIFT. You don't need to do this

I'm not discounting it might be a 32/64 Bit issue as well. I assume you use 64bit? Try a 32bit build and see how that works, please.

OK I tried mame64u4 command line and also mameui64u4 and deleted my nvram sgsafari before I tested and still will not work using the Q&A on mame page.
http://mamedev.org/devwiki/index.php/FAQ:Games#Super_Gran_Safari
I tried mame32u4 command line and mameui32u4 and still not working. On the 32bit it will show the buttons on the bottom of the black screen but is totally black on both 64bit versions.

Apparently you need to figure out the default dip settings for the to work. Good luck!

Doesn't say anything about changing the dip switch settings and there is nothing to change in it. When I do what is says in Q&A "When you see the black screen, enter the key sequence VXB1 (HOLD 4, HOLD 2, HOLD 5 and START) to initialize the game" All I get is coin time error. When is the last time you tried to start the game? Go delete your nvram and let me know if you can load it. I even deleted the cfg on the game and still no good.

This is what's in the source:
"* Super Gran Safari
There is a input sequence to initialize the game.
The code expects a mask of 0x4c00 in the DIP switches port to allow
enter the sequence, so DIP switches must be on default position.
When you see the black screen, enter the following sequence:
HOLD 4 (key V), HOLD 2 (key X), HOLD 5 (key B), START (key 1).
The code is checking for a 5th entry. In fact expects HOLD 3 as the first
entry, then the rest listed above. I don't know why bypass the first one.
Input port bits are checked in the following order: 2, 3, 1, 4, 5.
The player can play the "Super Game" to grab the points.
In this subgame, you must to hit the lion to get the prize.
For now, you must miss the shot till hopper & ticket dispenser are properly emulated."
I did that too and still couldn't get it start. Tried a few dip combos to no avail. I don't know what the default settings should be. Let me know if you find them, I'll do the same. I know I had it working at 1 time since I have a title shot(I do my own).
Later...

Yea I'm been trying differnet sequences also and no luck. No big deal I just thought I was losing my mind.  Thanks for trying.

This is my work. After the critical input system changes (among other things), some games can't be initialised easily. But this is not the case. The init sequence works properly. I tried to reversed it several times.
Dunno why is not working for you. Feel free to use the following NVRAM binary (you'll start the game in the quick initial test).
Anyway, once you hit the lion in the payout extra game, the game hangs. So please miss the shot...
