Thanks redk9258 for making me feel silly...

That's what I did first (although I also pointed all clones and puckman itself to pacman as parent) but had a similar problem and didn't know if there was some kind of parent/clone code anywhere else on the code that I didn't know about. But really, I appreciate it, you can always learn new things.

Anyway, thanks etabeta, although the problem was another one altogether, isolating the rom on a different folder is what made me realize what was it.

The problem was that I wasn't using the correct ini file and mame was looking on another directory for roms, not the one I had rebuilt.

As an excuse, for some reason my frontend was looking for the mame configuration on the same path as the mame executable and I assumed this was a mame problem (not looking at ~/.mame/mame.ini), it turns out mame itself was using the correct file, but I was modifying the one on the mame executable path.
