Windows has always called it 32-bit mode, as opposed to 24-bit mode which was slow and generally not widely supported (presumably due to alignment or something)
being a pedantic asshole about it doesn't make the project look friendly.
as for what the original poster was asking, MAME only really works properly with those modes these days, things like the 8-bit palletized modes were removed a long time ago, chances are if you're running a modern version on a modern OS it is running in '32-bit colour' mode already.
