Those are used to output data for game-driven cabinet features like LEDs, the fan that blows in your face on Prop Cycle, and other stuff of that nature. For instance, a lot of games had an LED in the start button that would blink after you inserted a coin, and with the output module and a listener program you can get that behavior on a MAME cabinet.
