Those are the two settings that I mean here:

rene@marvin:~> egrep "ShowBiosSets|ShowDeviceSets" ~/.qmc2/qmc2.ini
MachineList\ShowBiosSets=true
MachineList\ShowDeviceSets=true

The most interesting in this case is "ShowDeviceSets".

Most device sets will be "correct" or "mostly correct" as they don't 
require ROMs anyway or haven't been dumped (correctly) yet. In latest 
"MAME git" there are 3126 device sets of which 413 require ROMs. Only 
the latter would be set to ROM status "not found" if their dumps cannot 
be found.

So, when they are hidden (ShowDeviceSets=false) that would explain the 
behavior you see.
