Tafoid brought to my attention a recent regression caused by my softlist changes. Specifically, this failed:
mame odyssey2 -cart1 voice -cart2 bees
The reason is that the recent refactoring caused some critical softlist logic to be bypassed. Essentially device_slot_interface::get_default_card_software() provides a technique for devices to inspect softlists and select slot options to be specified. In the case above, the selection of the "voice" software list item in the first cartridge slot requires get_default_card_software() to be called to specify the o2_voice slot device, which in turn adds the second cartridge slot. Skipping this caused '-cart2' to stop being recognized.
This is an attempt to fix the problem. In some ways, this doesn't go far enough - the astute observer will note that mame_options::reevaluate_slot_options() looks a lot like mame_options::update_slot_options(); part of me wants to just rip the latter out. In the long run, device_slot_interface::get_default_card_software() should be reevaluated; having a hook is a good idea but it should be a pure function that doesn't alter state.

What is MAME?
MAME originally stood for Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator.
MAME's purpose is to preserve decades of software history. As electronic technology continues to rush forward, MAME prevents this important "vintage" software from being lost and forgotten. This is achieved by documenting the hardware and how it functions. The source code to MAME serves as this documentation. The fact that the software is usable serves primarily to validate the accuracy of the documentation (how else can you prove that you have recreated the hardware faithfully?). Over time, MAME absorbed the sister-project MESS (Multi Emulator Super System), so MAME now documents a wide variety of (mostly vintage) computers, video game consoles and calculators, in addition to the arcade video games that were its initial focus.
How to compile?
If you're on a *NIX or OSX system, it could be as easy as typing
make
for a MAME build,
make SUBTARGET=arcade
for an arcade-only build, or
make SUBTARGET=mess
for MESS build.
See the Compiling MAME page on our documentation site for more information, including prerequisites for Mac OS X and popular Linux distributions.
For recent versions of OSX you need to install Xcode including command-line tools and SDL 2.0.
For Windows users, we provide a ready-made build environment based on MinGW-w64.
Visual Studio builds are also possible, but you still need build environment based on MinGW-w64. In order to generate solution and project files just run:
make vs2015
or use this command to build it directly using msbuild
make vs2015 MSBUILD=1
Where can I find out more?

- Official MESS Wiki
- MAME Testers (official bug tracker for MAME and MESS)

Coding standard
MAME source code should be viewed and edited with your editor set to use four spaces per tab. Tabs are used for initial indentation of lines, with one tab used per indentation level. Spaces are used for other alignment within a line.
Some parts of the code follow Allman style; some parts of the code follow K&R style -- mostly depending on who wrote the original version. Above all else, be consistent with what you modify, and keep whitespace changes to a minimum when modifying existing source. For new code, the majority tends to prefer Allman style, so if you don't care much, use that.
All contributors need to either add a standard header for license info (on new files) or inform us of their wishes regarding which of the following licenses they would like their code to be made available under: the BSD-3-Clause license, the LGPL-2.1, or the GPL-2.0.
