If you start the game from the GUI and choose it, the emulator just crashes. If you do it from a command line, you get this:

Code:

F:\Roms\Emulators\Arcade\MAME>mame64 rotd
Invalid video value ddraw; reverting to gdi
Invalid prescale option, reverting to '1'
Value 1 not supported for option sound - falling back to auto

Turning off cheats in mame.ini lets the game boot. Leaving them on causes MAME to crash upon loading the game.
