MameCE3 core is based on the DOS port of MAME. But the front end graphics and input routines were rewritten for the Pocket PC using code from both the DOS and the Win32 versions (as well as other sources).

The topic is fruitless, since:
1. No source is available and
2. (if it was developed in assembly language) is would be challenging to port.
Not impossible but improbable at this time for sure.
