PinMAME emulates the hardware found in almost every solid state pinball machine created from the mid 1970's through 2014 (around 750 unique Pinball machines and many more clones/revisions, overall more than 2500 sets).

The PinMAME pinball emulator/simulator itself is not 100% playable. It only emulates the electronic circuit boards and the display(s) found in the pinball machine backbox. There is no playfield and no balls that you will see 'emulated' and displayed!

This part can optionally be added by using separate independent program packages, like Visual Pinball or Unit3D Pinball, which take care of simulating physics and the 3D rendering of the playfield and all its parts.

Note however, that you can still activate switches with your keyboard, see the display animations, and listen to/record the pinball game sounds with the pure PinMAME package itself.
