But this version don't have a ide and you can choose the video mode in a little dialog, i thing this feature don't exist in the linux version, so something on this port is difererent or it has changed

Hi guys. Why this MAME version has no news ? Where is the src code from this port ? There be nice if someone continue this port

It would be nice, yes. I think someone would be better off grabbing the original source and compiling from scratch, rather than worry about the source of this port. The file picker and resolution selection are just Zenity scripts AFAIK, which means they're part of the launch script of the PND (so no source changes... if you wanted to use them, you could just open the PND using Foxblock's PNDTools, or the latest 7zip beta and take them yourself.)

[edit] Yep, had a look to confirm. Here's the content of mame.sh:
