SG1000/SC-3000 Lode Runner will not start

Using Fedora Linux 27. Even the MAME snapshot from GIT fails like this when trying to start SG1000/SC-3000 Lode Runner:
$ mame sc3000 -window -cart /usr/share/mame/roms/sc3000/lode_runner_japan_europe.sg
Ignoring MAME exception: Unknown slot option 'codemasters' in slot 'slot'
Unknown slot option 'codemasters' in slot 'slot'
$ sha1sum /usr/share/mame/roms/sc3000/lode_runner_japan_europe.sg
f14f216edfda7dfd113f5cb32375a27be8a6409d /usr/share/mame/roms/sc3000/lode_runner_japan_europe.sg
I have tried with a different Lode Runner ROM, same error and failure to start.

This looks like the effect of a misconfigured .ini file. There's no reason for this option to be there with this system (and even for "nes" and clones it only ought to be automatically determined based on the selected software list item).

I removed ~/.mame directory, the problem remains. I have made no edits to sc3000 configuration at all.

Software list loading works here using Windows.

Hey! I looked at the source code, but being new, could not figure out what was wrong. However, I found out that you could somehow use those XML files with "software lists" or something like that.
So I finally got the game running on Fedora Linux 27, but I do not really understand why.
I copied hash/sg1000.xml from the GIT source code tree to directory /usr/share/mame/hash
Then:
cd /usr/share/mame/roms/sg1000
mv lode_runner_japan_europe.sg mpr-5998.ic1
Now command:
mame sg1000 -window ldrun
starts the Lode Runner game using SG1000.

I managed to get a backtrace by setting a breakpoint to osd_break_into_debugger(), but I do not know how to fix this. Maybe a pretty easy case for the MAME devs?

I think I may have found a simple fix for this. Will do git push soon.

The patch is now in MAME. Thanks hackers for merging it.

Right, which is one reason the software list system exists: bare ROMs, especially for cartridge systems, don't include or have incomplete metadata about the mapper.
In this case it seems like it is detecting the cartridge type correctly but something goes wrong setting it up.
