First "Test - Release" version - "AppImage" build of NABUPC MAME

The release contains the "Dual Core" binary - 40 & 80 column support via command line options

This is a Linux 64bit Build - targeted at the Steam Deck - It should run on my most other modern Linux distros.

No other documentation at this time. If you know how to add an AppImage to your Seam Deck then please give it a try.

It can be added to your menu and run from the main screen.

If run on the Steam Deck and no "Launch Options" (Command line) are specified the app will run in "40col" mode using the internal "Adapter" server fixed on NABU original "cycle 1"

Command line for this = "nabupc -window -hcca hcca_remote"

To run in "80col" mode simply replace "nabupc" with "nabupc80"

Example; To run in 80col mode using my Pi3b server I use: "nabupc80 -window -hcca null_modem -bitb socket.192.168.0.211:5816"

Basically, just add it to Steam as a "non steam game" and pass the "full" command line you wish to it using the "Launch Options" field in the Steam App properties.

"AppImage" = self-contained executable container - all required libraries included.

Please NOTE: This is NOT well tested, its an experiment at present - the only thing I can guarantee is that they "will" break your system! ;-)
