If you are getting a crash using MESSUI - it is a UI related issue and not MESS itself at fault because there are safeguards intact.

If it says something along the lines of: FATALERROR: Driver requires that device "cartridge" must have an image to load There is no way around this short of adjusting the driver behavior. I'm beginning to wonder what version of MESS you are using - 0.154 for genesis or megadriv do not allow starting from command-line without a cartridge argument.

No.11046 demotester Tester Oct 12, 2014, 12:17 edited on: Oct 12, 2014, 12:19	yeah, you're right, it seems that I've used version taken from -> http://messui.the-chronicles.org mess154b.rar (mess.exe, 2014-07-23 17:12, CRC=3700E1D4) Now being testing with version taken from -> http://mamedev.org/release.html mess0154b.exe (mess.exe, 2014-07-23 08:57, CRC=F86B1A45) and got... mess.exe wswan, mess.exe wscolor, mess.exe genesis, mess.exe megadriv to behave the same ... not possible to start the emu w/o cartridge inserted ! It seems the case can be closed now! (sorry for the inconvenience)
