Weird Night Driver Issue Using MAME 0.153

I've run many other versions of MAME/MAMEUI in the past and have never had any problems with Night Driver. I upgrade to 0.153, and then this happens:
Attachment 41444
Now what the hell is that? Each time I reload the rom I get a different string of characters (hitting F3 or F2 doesn't change anything).
I've 1) Downloaded several nitedrvr roms from various websites, 2) Tried to fix the rom in Romcenter and, 3) Tried activating/deactivating the art files (Bezels and such) to no avail.
Anyone have any idea what's up?
Anyone know of a more appropriate forum where I could ask this question?

You could always revert back to an older version from here
Which version did you run it on? I can't even get the car to show in my version of the emulator.

Works fine with MAMEUI 0.153 the 64bit version anyway

Had a quick test myself
