pinball games in mame 0.273

[carlosff2]

Do arcade machines from the 80s and 90s have pinball games? What and how many pinball games are there for MAME?

@carlosff2 MAME emulates a number of mechanical devices (including pinballs), but afaik they can't be played (only the pinball's software is emulated, there are no "visuals").
Pinball emulators exist, but i'm not too knowledgeable about them and i don't think retropie supports them.

You can check one of my databases for pinball games here :
https://github.com/FollyMaddy/RetroPie-Share/tree/main/00-databases-00/mame

You can sort on tags if you want.
Tagged @mechanical is something that doesn't work.
So you want to sort on @ pinball,@ arcade,@ good not containing @ mechanical.
Some need artwork or overlays.

Did some sorting for you.
These drivers are something to check.

Not retropie and mame related, but just FYI and maybe as an alternative (Windows only IIRC): Visual Pinball (Wikipedia), related Side/Forum

Yeah, i assumed the OP was talking about mechanical pinballs, but maybe he actually meant pinball videogames.
