ok so i would assume that

cd mame
mame.exe pacman
cd\

is mame.bat? sitting in root of the drive "C:\mame.bat"?

ok so according to this your dos will start, get to mame.bat, run "C:\mame.bat"

at that point it will try to change to the directory "C:\mame"

is this the name of your mame folder?

it will then run mame.. what exactly is the name of your mame? and what version?

is it exactly "C:\mame\mame.exe"?

im guessing you have a spelling error in the bat.. go back and double check your directory and file names.

what exactly does it say when it tries to run?

if it  says "bad file or command" or something similar to that then you have a spelling error for sure.

if it says something else then you problably have a misconfiguratoin in your mame.

to make sure mame is'nt the problem you should try to run it manually and see if it loads up pacman.

i edited the batch file from some info i found here
@echo off
c:
cd mame
mame.exe pacman
