Invaders is a VDU based application so needs MK14VDU to be instantiated. so the command line becomes
mk14 mk14vdu -debug

That will open up the MAME debugger window and MK14 emulation. In the debugger window (bottom line) type

load invaders.bin,400

400 because that is the start of the program memory - 200 would load it into the VDU memory. I think invaders.bin needs to be in the same folder as the mk14 executable.

Type GO (in the debugger window) to start the MK14 emulation. The 7 segment display will appear.

In the emulator window type 400 x (i.e. 400 GO) and invaders will run.
