Everything works great, but as I was playing Puzznic, I discovered to my horror that, as a reward for completing levels, the game gradually uncovers a picture of a naked woman.
The reason for my horror was that my kids will be playing on this machine.
I did a Google search, and discovered that there are a number of these 'titty' games in the Mame rom sets.
Sorry to moralise here, but if you're horrified at the thought of your kids seeing a human body you have far bigger issues to deal with. A "titty" is a body part with a biological function, and anything beyond that is just social hangups and memes propagated through society. Yes, I have kids, and they are allowed to play with MAME with a pretty much complete ROM set. Puzznic is pretty harmless anyway - fairly tasteful digitised stills - and my kids would probably be disgusted if they fired up one of the more tacky Comad games anyway.
There are some games that I'd definitely want to be there to explain to them. Mahjong Jogakuen and Mahjong Erotica Golf feature female masturbation, but masturbation's a topic that's going to have to be addressed with kids eventually anyway. Then there's coercion in games like Mahjong Hyper Reaction, which you need to explain isn't good behaviour, whether it's in a sexual context or not.
And that's the thing: you need to be there with your kids, know what they're playing, and fill them in as you go. I hope you let them know that becoming a street fighter isn't something to aspire to either.

I have been trying to find a list of these games so I can go through and remove them, but I'm not having much luck. I found plenty of references and advice on removing them, but all the links I found are broken.
I know that there are filtering algorithms, but I'd prefer to go through and remove them manually rather than mess around with Mame, especially as I am using a non-Windows version of Mame.
Can anyone point me in the direction of a list?
I'm using the 0.37b5 rom set.
If you're really set on ensuring only "safe" games are available, you're better off going with an additive approach. Only add ROMs from games you know you're comfortable having your kids playing. Any list is going to be based on someone else's values anyway, so you'd need to go through it with a fine toothed comb to ensure you agree with each inclusion/exclusion.
