i know about daphne, im just wondering if i can get it to work in mame, as i know there are people out there working on it, and my cab is all mame.

no and you probably will never get it working.

Someone did a port for it that kinda worked, but it didn't use the files that you can easily find on the net.

Main trouble is that there aren't any free / good licences /  lossless encoders which mame would require. 

Also, there is talk there there could never be one that would be as accurate as mame would want.  Because the original disks where analog, where any type of capturing it would be digital.  So even the lossless encoders would still be lossless based on a lossful way of capturing it in the first place.

Get a good frontend that can use both mame and daphne (and heck, zinc and model2 and well, all the others) and be happy.  MAME32 is a real sucky frontend for cabinets anyway.
