How to run Amstrad CPC disk games in MAME ?
There are 2 methods...
...if one of them doesn't work, try the other one.
First method, the most common: type cat
Then you have to type run" followed by ...
... the name of one of the listed files finishing with ".bas"
The " character is @ on a qwerty keyboard...
... so shift + (2/@) key on top of keyboard
You don't need to type the final ".bas"

The second method is far less common
but it's also easier
You just have to type |cpm
The | character is { on a qwerty keyboard
... so shift + ([/{) key near Enter key

That's all... If you want other machines' tutorial, drop a comment
