Summary MESS-specific 08369: megadriv: Loading ggenie with carts with unsupported save types crashes MAME
Description To reproduce: Start MAME, select Genesis, select Game Genie from the software list, and start emulation. Now hit tab, select File Manager, load Sonic & Knuckles (world) as the second cart and MAME will crash.

In release build 0.244, MAME just closed and output the following error to the console:
"Fatal error: Unknown slot option 'rom_sk' in slot 'mdslot:rom_ggenie:subslot'
Unknown slot option 'rom_sk' in slot 'mdslot:rom_ggenie:subslot'"

This seems to be the expected behavior. Starting in 0.245, attempting this within the UI causes the access violation error shown below.

If you load the carts from the command line on 0.245 (mame genesis -cart1 ggenie -cart2 sk), the normal fatal error message appears, with no access violation error. I tried this with another game with a non-supported save type in ggenie (evander) and it behaved the same way.

I dug around and it appears the driver started failing after this was merged; I did a git checkout to pull the source up to this point, built a megadriv-only build, and the crashed happened.

The supplied dump is completely useless as the symbols are missing - I've added a proper one.
