Chdman.exe not staying open in Windows
Basically whether I double-click the exe, run it as admin or in any compatibility mode, the terminal will open and close within a split second. I haven't seen any functionality within the MAME program itself for launching Chdman. I haven't been able to find documentation of this problem on the Google-visible web, which made me think this was just me. However, I've reproduced the issue on Windows 7, 8.1 and 10 on two separate PCs so far, attempting to open the Chdman program from both 64 and 32 bit MAME binaries of versions 0.195, .182, .150 and .137, to name just a few.
I would have brought this up on MAME's official forum but my new account is on a moratorium until an admin can activate it (probably a day or two). Perhaps Windows has inadvertently killed the functionality of Chdman in recent months?
