are not mentioned here, the short summary given by "mame -showusage"
is usually sufficient.

-numscreens <count>
Tells MAME how many output windows to create. For most games, a single
output window is all you need, but some games originally used multiple
screens. Each screen (up to 4) has its own independent settings for
physical monitor, aspect ratio, resolution, and view, which can be
set using the options below. The default is 1.
-screen <display>
-screen0 <display>
-screen1 <display>
-screen2 <display>
-screen3 <display>
Specifies which physical monitor on your system you wish to have each
window use by default. In order to use multiple windows, you must have
increased the value of the -numscreens option. The name of each
display in your system can be determined by running MAME with the
-verbose option. The display names are typically in the format of:
\\.\DISPLAYn, where 'n' is a number from 1 to the number of connected
monitors. The default value for these options is 'auto', which means
that the first window is placed on the first display, the second
window on the second display, etc.
The -screen0, -screen1, -screen2, -screen3 parameters apply to the
specific window. The -screen parameter applies to all windows. The
window-specific options override values from the all window option.
