It's also gone if you -switchres 0, in which case MAME keeps your desktop's display mode.

Again, -switchres 0 will keep the desktop's display mode, including the refresh rate. Alternatively, with switching enabled, you can do -res 800x600@144 to get 800x600 at 144 Hz refresh if it's available.
It's kind of frustrating how many problems with MAME people have that are simply the result of not understanding the available options.
