Are you loading from the softlist or fullpath?

With softlist loading you'll get something like:

Code:

mess64 -debug nes smb -plugin console
    _/      _/    _/_/    _/      _/  _/_/_/_/
   _/_/  _/_/  _/    _/  _/_/  _/_/  _/
  _/  _/  _/  _/_/_/_/  _/  _/  _/  _/_/_/
 _/      _/  _/    _/  _/      _/  _/
_/      _/  _/    _/  _/      _/  _/_/_/_/

[MAME]>

MESS debugger version 0.191 (unknown)
Currently targeting nes (Nintendo Entertainment System / Famicom (NTSC))
[MAME]> print(emu.softname())
smb
[MAME]>  print(manager:machine().images["cart"]:longname())
Super Mario Bros. (Euro, Rev. A)
[MAME]>


With fullpath loading you'll get empty strings for both. manager:machine().images["cart"]:filename() will get you the file name but that's all that's available.
