hi, I resurrect this thread because I'm not sure how to contact the developer of MameTunes elsewhere.
anyway, I'm trying to setup SDLMAME to be as friendly as possible on the mac of a friend of mine, and I decided to use MameTunes as a frontend because is simple and fast
but my life would be even easier if a few features could be added:
1. a way to disable the debug (I know this is missing just because it's been a month since last MameTunes release and the debug activation in MAME is more recent... I'm not complaining, just pointing the need of an update

)
2. a way to add optional commands to SDLMAME. Namely, assume I would like to add an option which is supported by MAME but not (yet) by MameTunes (e.g. the -nodebug above). It would be cool to have an 'option' field in the SDLMAME settings screen to add -nodebug and more commands, which could simply be passed as additional command line arguments.
I guess in the end MameTunes is simply launching the application with a series of options which depend on the choices of the setting screen... would it be hard to add at the end of the command line the content of this new 'options' field?
For instance, in the case of the -nodebug command, I could add -nodebug to this 'options' field and MameTunes could simply pass the command
./sdlmame "other_options_from_MameTunes_interface" -nodebug
allowing me to run the emulator with no debug.
It would also increase future compatibility with no need of updates of the frontend: if a new option is added to MAME and is not present in MameTunes, I could add it simply to this field, while waiting for an updated release of the frontend
3. support for multiple rompaths. I asked for this before and the author answered it was possible, but I don't see a way to do this in 3.1, so I wonder how should I add a second folder for roms...
EDIT: I hope I managed to explain what I meant, especially at point 2. Anyway, if more clarifications are needed simply let me know

and thanks for the wonderful frontend!
