    Correction you can't play pinball roms with mame at all unless they are just Video Pinball games there are also tons of video fruitmachine games aswell but not anything near the quality of a real pinball machine.... then there came Visual Pinball



    PinMame only emulate the score system rom for real pinball machines but you can simulate the board aswell....

    To simulate a Pinball machine you need
    PinMame and the score rom and Visual Pinball and the simulated board files

    see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_Pinball for more info

    The Guns & Roses Pinball was one of the best ones



    If I get time I may give you a basic set to get you started

    Wow some nut made a full sized pinball machine out of Visual Pinball and PinMame
