Drivers saved to favorites UI are run without showing software list

[anewuser]

• Launch mame64.exe
• Select a driver such as the "Nintendo Entertainment System / Famicom" and press enter, or double click on it

As expected, the list of software related to it is shown if you've set the paths properly.

• Press Esc to go back to your complete list of machines
• Save "Nintendo Entertainment System / Famicom" to your favorites
• Select it from your favorites and press enter, or double click on it

Result: MAME attempts to "boot up" the ROM and tells you to insert a cartridge.

Expected result: MAME should show the software list associated to this favorited driver, as in the first step.

mame64.exe 0.185 Windows 10

I believe every machine that is saved in Favorites is run as if you are running "mame64 (setname)" from command line fresh as it starts a fresh instance to run it to avoid any leftover corruption (I assume?). Given the way the UI is set up, I'm not certain if there is a way this can be avoided within the current design.

MAME 0.186 doesn't have this issue anymore.
