There are LUA plugins for MAME that come with the binary. You can adjust them through the UI easily enough - they each do what they say and should be self-explanatory. Many of them are developers tools. The only ones you'd likely use you already have active (data, cheats and hiscore).

Thanks much. What is "Discord Chat presence"? I'm not sure what that means. Also, same for Lua Console for direct commands. I'm not sure "LUA" means or what console/commands this is referring to.

Lua is a scripting language. The console lets you interact with the emulation while it's running using scripting commands. The discord plugin will show what you are playing in Discord.
