I'm not sure if this is the troubleshooting section, but I'm having issues with the current cheats set for mk2. Previous versions of mame worked fine, but since updating to .182, mk2 will crash on startup if the cheats xml is present. Removing the mk2 xml, or disabling cheats altogether allow the game to run.
EDIT: This appears to have been a mame issue, since it no longer occurs as of MAME 64 .183.

Re: MAME 64 .182 MK2 Cheats Crash
UPDATE: I ended up testing with a 32 bit build and got an error message on startup:
"mk2.xml(1525):error parsing cheat expression "maincpu.mw@0043428=0B40" (invalid number)"
Unlike 64 bit build, game was able to startup.
