I recently installed 1.1 Bios, and the PC will cycle though the empty slots, with only 3 games installed leaves a lot of black screen time.
 
I've got a pc10 with 5 games in it, and the only time there's a black screen is when the top screen is showing the instructions on how to use the control panel. So maybe you're just seeing that?

I assume you mean in attract mode and this is in MAME? On the dedicated PC 10 it only shows the games loaded and does not have dead time for the empty slots. The MAME emulation must not be 100% correct. There may be a way to adjust that in MAME but I have no clue how as I have no experience with MAME.

I think he's talking about a real playchoice cabinet, but he updated the Bios so it may change something on the attract mode...

Yes this is on a real PC 10 (Unisystem Conversion) I installed the 1.1 Bios, and it will cycle through the empty slots too. I guess the best way to fix it is to install more games! :D I am getting 2 more, just will need 5 more after that.

Edit:
Here is a link to the 1.1 bios:
