About PinMAME
PinMAME, the Pinball Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator, emulates the hardware found in almost every solid-state pinball machine, from the first CPU-controlled tables of the mid 1970s up to Stern's SAM system from 2014. It covers around 770 emulated units.
It reproduces the machine's control board, display and sound rather than the playfield itself. VPinMAME, maintained in the same repository by the Visual Pinball project, lets virtual pinball tables use it. It suits virtual pinball builders and collectors.
