M.A.M.E. v0.159 (Feb 26 2015) - Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator
Copyright Nicola Salmoria and the MAME team

MAME is an emulator: it reproduces, more or less faithfully, the behaviour of
several arcade machines. But hardware is useless without software, so an image
of the ROMs which run on that hardware is required. Such ROMs, like any other
commercial software, are copyrighted material and it is therefore illegal to
use them if you don't own the original arcade machine. Needless to say, ROMs
are not distributed together with MAME. Distribution of MAME together with ROM
images is a violation of copyright law and should be promptly reported to the
authors so that appropriate legal action can be taken.

Usage: MAME [game] [options]

        MAME -showusage for a brief list of options
        MAME -showconfig for a list of configuration options
        MAME -listmedia for a full list of supported media
        MAME -createconfig to create a mame.ini

For usage instructions, please consult the files config.txt and windows.txt.
Steps To Reproduce Just run; mame -help
Additional Information I did not see this happening in mame 0.157, this started at 0.158...

SORRY my mistake, it was a bad compile/build.

I recompiled it and it's all good now.

Keep up the great work, thanks! :)
