Hi
Is there any way to launch "mame64.exe -v" without launching mame? I just want the output that shows.
I haven't found anything in Mame documentation

Are you wanting to start MAME just to get the -verbose info without a game or the UI showing on screen? Not a common use case but it can be done using binary tools from the compiling package located in msys64\usr\bin..
timeout 1 [c:\path\to\mame.exe] -v -str 3 -video none > outputtext.txt 2>&1
What this will do it launch MAME (assuming you are using a command window) and attempt to run it for 3 seconds. The -video none will not display the UI and shouldn't launch a window (non-SDL, Windows). In my local testing, the "timeout" command will run for one second, allowing -verbose test to populate the screen and resulting .txt file with your information, then stop MAME.
