That is correct.

Is this the first time you've noticed that about people here?

Oi ::) In my book there is a huge difference between a virtual representation of a pinball and the actual physical hardware.
Have any of the copyright owners complained about that yet?

Pinmame relies on the actual roms from the actual game. That is a catcher right there. Most copyright owners don't care and the roms are freely available. Gottlieb is the main exception. They have authorized dealers to sell chips, manuals, etc.

Pinmame is the emulation of the physical hardware - the CPU to be exact. It is not Visual Pinball, which is a simulation. Pinmame is the engine that emulates the CPU board, running the game logic, and using the actual ROMs from the original machine. It is no different than MAME for this purpose. Without Pinmame VP wouldn't be emulating any game with a CPU.
sharidan - stern cares too, at least when it comes to the modern games. That's why you don't find them available. Not in the mainstream anyway.
