I'll check the MAME version later, but essentially I'm running MAME32 because that was the easiest to configure for my setup with the iPac stuff and the ArcadeVGA and arcade monitor. Some of the more sophisticated versions I"ve tried (and front ends) have not supported everything as properly as I would have liked. In any case, it's a pretty old MAME version but I have no reason to upgrade as it runs everything I want so far and I'm familiar with its configuration quirks.
You should be able to find Commodore serial cables at lots of places. Here's one on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.ie/Commodore-Serial-Cable-for-C64-C128-and-Disk-Drive_W0QQitemZ110328408608QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_VintageComputing_RL?hash=item110328408608&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1300|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318
You could check at a place like this too: http://retrogamescatalog.com/acatalog/Commodore_Hardware_64_C64.html
I don't know, I think there should be lots of options. If I had inventoried my Commodore stuff I'm sure I would have some extras, but frankly an inventory would take quite some time for all that stuff.
