At least on Fedora Linux 27, the following happened when not using
XML-files:
mame sc3000 -window -cart /usr/share/mame/roms/sc3000/mpr-5998.ic1
Ignoring MAME exception: Unknown slot option 'codemasters' in slot 'slot'
Unknown slot option 'codemasters' in slot 'slot'
I suppose that was because Lode Runner ROM image was not correctly
detected. This patch adds a special case to detect Lode Runner
(Japan, Europe).
Also, look Ma - no magic prologue!
Slot card additions run in the context of the slot itself, which isn't
entirely intuitive. Slot configuration needs a bunch of other cleanup
anyway.
a destructor for a literal type due to the implicit nothrow. It's just
not worth the trouble it's causing.

the finder's owner. This meand you no longer need to care about the
your relationship to the object being configured and a lot of ^ and :
can disappear. There's a bit reduction in string pasting in macros from
this.
Yes, I have to make this apply to devcb etc. as well, but that's a job
for another day.
There's probably at least one thing broken by this where optional
objects are involved. Most things can be solved by just getting rid of
the now-problematic ^ and : prefixes.
- Write callbacks can now be configured as `OUTPUT("item_name")`. This behaves equivalently to a zero-dimensional `output_finder`, while eliminating the need to instantiate and resolve this in driver classes separately from the callback itself.
- The width of a callback's default mask now properly depends on its type (as was half-implemented before), instead of always being reset to 0xffffffffffffffff when actually configured. This allows MCFG_DEVCB_INVERT to work with line write callbacks as one might logically expect.
